Rise
Born and raised in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture. I grew up in a detached house with a garden in the heart of a shopping district. When you think of detached houses, you might imagine them to be elegant and quiet, but they were lively houses in the city that never sleeps day and night. In addition to his parents, he lives with six others: his grandfather, step-grandmother, and aunt (his father's half-sister).
When I was born, I used to run a bookstore and a cigarette shop, but it seems that I quit before I turned one year old. And my parents began working as civil servants.
There were five chestnut trees and three persimmon trees in the garden. However, I was unable to eat chestnuts and persimmons freely. This is because my step-grandmother sold chestnuts and persimmons from the garden to a greengrocer in my neighborhood (I heard from my mother). My step-grandmother's catchphrase was, "The only things that move for free are earthquakes and winds."
When I was in elementary school, I was woken up early in the morning and my mother handed me a sarug one, saying, "Please pick up some chestnuts before my grandma wakes up." I picked up some chestnuts with excitement in the garden early in the morning. I remember fondly eating the chestnuts in my room on the second floor and ate them with my mother, saying, "It's tasty."
In the spring of my third year of high school, I moved to Saitama City due to my parents' separation. On my way to the car, cherry blossom petals were dancing and it was beautiful. Since the high school is private, I was able to attend the same school. However, as I returned home, I started dating friends in the same direction, which completely changed my life.
Omiya Station is a station with a variety of lines. I had a friend who had to break up at Omiya Station in order to get home. So it became a routine to go shopping at the station building, talk to the fruit parlor, then go home.
Advancement
After graduating from high school, all my classmates end up scattered. Most of the students went to four-year universities, but I went to a junior college that was affiliated with the high school. The Canadian penpal featured in high school was completely bilingual.
This is because she began to want to study French again (English and French are required subjects in her first year of high school). The uniforms worn during events were also attractive. However, these sweet thoughts disappeared shortly after entering school, and days of hellish exams and assignments began.
I've never studied that much. That experience is now available in all respects.
Employment, marriage, childbirth
After graduating from junior college, I attended a cram school specializing in flight attendants for six months. I didn't receive a notification of passing or not being accepted in the airline recruitment exam, so I thought I had failed, so I decided to get a job at a newspaper advertising agency. However, after joining the company, I was surprised to receive a notification that I had passed the first exam.
It was exactly the day of the second exam. Apparently it was misplaced. I had just joined the company and couldn't take any holidays and had even reached the fifth exam, so I gave up on taking the exam. A year later, after a traffic accident, he became a clerk at a construction material leasing company, and married at the age of 22 while still working.

Moving and Parental Care
Six years later, my mother sold a house in Saitama City and bought a house in Kumagaya. My family of five (mother, me, my husband and two children) moved to Kumagaya. He got a new job and got divorced in his 30s. He worked at a cram school, insurance company, publishing company, etc. before running a cram school, and in 2014 he left his job at nursing care (mother perished in October 2022).
Work for the last six years
I worked for A Life Insurance Company from May 2019 to December 2023. This was when I had dinner in Yokohama with a friend of mine who I met through university correspondence education for 20 years. He was hired in Yokohama and became a member of Kumagaya.
Since joining the company, the exams have continued to be held, including the " General Course Examination ," " Personalty Insurance Qualification Examination ," "Special Course Examination," "Application Course Examination," and "Level 3 Financial Planning Technician Examination." Finally, on June 28, 2024, I obtained the qualification as Level 2 Financial Planning Technician
A major turning point in life
◇A house that had been on sale since the year before last suddenly sold out, so in November 2024 I moved from Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, where I lived for about 26 years, to Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture.
