<\/p>\nLast Saturday on the 7th was my 24th birthday…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And so today is my first lesson after turning 24!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today we did stuff beyond “the fundamentals of voice training” as well<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In our free talk, we discussed stretching the end of words,
\nmaking letters sound longer, and how to convey things like a story<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s not something that one normally does every day
\nbut as a 24 year old, I’ll try to be aware of it and keep it in mind ^^<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Birthdays also are another thing that get me pretty worked up<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My friends threw me a birthday party
\nand there were childhood friends as well as friends
\nwhom I haven’t seen in a while
\nand I could see how even though they haven’t changed overall,
\nthey changed in subtle ways and it just made me think
\n“Ahh everyone is working so hard in their own path in life”
\nI need to work hard too<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I had about 3 cakes too!
\nI am really so happy to have had this party
\nI’m so thankful to everyone who celebrated with me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although I couldn’t meet them personally
\nI also got mails from my parents and sister in Hokkaido <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My mom said
\n“Just take care of your health okay.
\nThat’s all I’m really worried about!” … ^^<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No matter how old you get, you’ll always be a kid to your mom huh,
\neven if I’m really far away, she’ll always worry about me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And so I hope to
\nkeep the thoughts of my family, friends and coworkers
\nclose to my heart as I work through my 24th year<\/p>\n
