Book of Nature

9 July 2019

I bike to school everyday which is about 10km from home, brought me this beautiful morning sunrise. It definitely made my day. I moved here in Christchurch from Japan in July 2019 to pursue my dreams. Everything is new and challenging for me, and I’ve been struggling with English capability, then I realized I don’t enjoy my life even though I love this city and started my new life. I told myself that it should be fun and why am I really here? At that time, I encountered this beautiful sunrise. It seems like encouraging me to look up the sky and remind me of my long-cherished dream. I’m still on my way to the goal, and having hardships, but as long as I can see this natural beauty, I never give up on my dream.
