Author's Note: It is a poem in which I tried to express my feeling towards becoming an author from a reader.
Reading has always been my greatest hobby and I sincerely love books.I also admired those of who actually write books, the authors, because I think literature and any kinds of writing pieces have power to give people powerful influence, and here I mean good influences. But I have never imagined of becoming an author, because I thought I am not good enough and I didn't own skills and talents. However, in this course, I had great joy for creating my writing pieces and getting comments from others. It felt great when some people commented on my blogs and academic writing pieces, especially when the comments are positive ones. So I tried to express my joy of becoming an author. At the first part I tried to introduce the books that have influenced me in my childhood. Then I expressed what I think it is like to be an author.

This is a course of free personal expression and creative writing at International Christian University in Tokyo. Each member of the class is an "author" with freedom to choose any theme, genre, format, and length they feel will be meaningful for them. The goal is to develop life-long writers who use English not only as a tool for professions, but as a way for self-expression that can connect and communicate with readers all over the world. Please enjoy and leave comments!

Arisa's first piece "A letter to the future me"
Author's Note:
When I started this piece, I actually did not know the exact reason why I decided to write a letter to the future me. But now I think it was because I had anxiety for myself and also for my future, and that made me want to send myself some sort of message to cheer myself up. There are things that make me worried, such as my studies, future career, my relationship with my family and friends. I also think a lot of my future, especially the ways to live independently and also things concerning with my marriage or other important events to come in the future. Voices from TVs, books and news papers talking about how bad the future for the current young will be, often make me feel scared and confused. I honestly do not have any idea how to be prepared for the coming future. The only thing I can always do is to believe in myself and be strong by making the best out of what I have. So I wanted to tell myself in the future to be strong enough to stand by herself and also to be happy with people around her. That is the reason why I wrote the letter and I think I have managed to write it with my sincere concern for the future me.
