Life continually offers us choices, and I am grateful for the path I have chosen. I deeply believe that God has a plan for my life. The decision I made years ago continues to bring me joy even though challenges inevitably arise along the way.
I was born and raised in a Catholic family, something which is rare in a non-Christian country like Japan. For my secondary education I attended a nearby Catholic school where some of my teachers were Sisters so, as a young girl, it was almost natural for me to dream of becoming a Sister. Since I liked children very much, I just presumed that I would enter an educational religious Congregation.
