My name is Miho Tanaka. The meaning of my name is a beautiful plant of rice in a farm. My father gave me this name, because he hope me to grew up healthy. So now I become not only very healthy but also very tall !! My family, mother and younger brother live in Yamanashi Prefecture, which is next to the prefecture of Tokyo. It is a famous for Mt. Fuji and "Shingen Takeda", who was famous warrior before Tokugawa era. And it is also a place of production of grapes and peaches.
I came from Tokyo, Japan. I graduated from Waseda University, and I work for the Center for International Education in Waseda University. My duties are enrollment of a lot of international students, advising for them, giving entrance examination for graduate schools, arranging of off campus activities and so on.... Our University is one of the biggest private Universities in Japan, there are about nine hundred international students from about forty seven countries. I enjoy my work, because I can talk with students about their culture and Japanese culture. I sometimes teach Japanese for international students.
My major in university was Social Sciences. I studied Law, Economics, Commerce and Accounting. My favorite subjects were Managements and International relationships. I would like to study those subject at graduate school in the future. However, I was not a good student, because I belonged to the tennis team of my University. I played tennis from early morning to night every day. That training and relationship between senior and young was very hard. But, I believe that I can acquire a strong body and soul through my club activities. I also like a lot of another sports. I like skiing, swimming, golf, aerobics, jogging and climbing. And I like traveling too. I have been to about twelve countries: the United States, England, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mongolia, Vietnam and Australia. Next, I would like to visit Belgium and Tibet.
