Woman of the Year 2010 in Roppongi
Hello my friend! I have a big news to tell you.
I received an award: Woman of the year 2010 by NIKKEI Woman magazine! This magazine pick top 15 Japanese women who accomplished something big and could be a role model for young people.
Besides me, a governor, mayor and presidents of companies won awards. So I was very shocked to hear that I was one of them.
The ceremony was in Roppongi. A lot of medias came. And a Minister Mizuho Fukushima came to give a speech for us! I gave my business card to her…. I still can’t believe that I introduced myself to her in person!
It showed up on a big screen.
Can you find me
After I received an award, I gave a quick speech in Japanese which was my first time! I got so used to talk in English at events. I felt nervous!
In the end we took photos together. Past winners came too. It was a great party!
You can always read Nikkei Woman Magazine online. This month there are articles of winners including me.
Now I’m motivated to work on my books!
congrats - what an amazing accomplishment!
Misako! Congratulations!
