①英文を読んでみよう
I was born and raised in the countryside.
This was because my father'sdream was to take part in the 1976 Montreal Olympics in Canda, in the three-day equestrain events, and he was working at this huge riding club in Yamanashi.
Back then, the road from my house to the riding club wasn't even paved.
And I had to walk close to two hours just to get to my elementary school.
Now you know what a country girl I am!
