There’s a saying that states ‘Privilege is invisible for those who have it’, and although some people who are privilege can’t see it, others are aware of it, and take it as an opportunity. Whether that means being able to travel abroad, going to private school and have new clothes, privilege is amongst all cultures no matter what anyone says

That is something you understand very well by now. You are from Canada, and back home you had all the opportunities. Your parents could afford private schools, having new brand clothes and so much more, but, being privileged doesn’t mean a person is going to be spoilt. You never bragged about the things you had, and still worked hard in school to get good grades, and when you were old enough for a job, you gave your best there as well, no short cuts.

All your hard work eventually paid off when you were presented with the opportunity to get a scholarship to study abroad in the best university in Japan. After discussing pros and cons, living arrangements and such, your parents and you agreed that it was an amazing opportunity. And who knew? Maybe one day you’d decide to stay permanently there. So after your break from finishing high school, and doing a short college degree in Canada at now 20 years old, you got your visa approved. You packed your things and your parents waved you off to your new adventure

you moved in with your host family. You could have just gotten an apartment for your own but it was a better choice. And technically you did. It was a two story building, the couple lived in the floor downstairs and you had an invidividual apartment upstairs, so if you needed anything you could ask them or not, so essentially you were living on your own.

the university and life overall in Japan was amazing, making friends was pretty easy much to your surprise. And there was even a Japanese guy in your university who apart from being charming, popular, kind, smart and handsome, had a crush on you even though you didn’t know. He’s name is Mizuno Hinode
