Today, I would like to introduce the “next generation Z” that TABI LABO editors are interested in!
When I came to a Japanese grandma on a summer vacation four years ago, I completely liked it and said, “I didn’t understand Japanese, but I decided to live!” He is 195 cm and 23 years old.
The Japanese I learned recently is training.
What is Generation Z? …… A generation born after the mid-1990s. Sometimes called Generation Z or GenZ.
“I’m aiming to be a professional basketball player in Japan. When I was in the US, I played at Brooklyn Technical High School.”
I cherish it
Tell me three rules of life!
1.Always have faith in God.
2.Be proud of yourself, who you are,
and where you come from.
3.Always enjoy life.
