Welcome to Josai International University Graduate School of Humanities. I think it is very important for us to know how to capture this moment and how to learn based on that. One of my favorite Bible verses is "There is a time for everything, and there is an appointed time for all things under heaven" (Cohelethus 3). Believe that your efforts will surely bear fruit in the future, and learn a lot.
