A special lecture was held at the university last Wednesday.
I would like to write about what I felt during this special lecture.
Through the special lecture, I learned about the current state of Tokyo's Kabuki Cho district and the Toyoko kids' aspects not covered in the news.

I used to think that only organizations like NPOs and NGOs were providing support, but I learned for the first time that there are other organizations offering aid as well. I also learned for the first time that they provide support in ways other than food, such as giving out hand warmers during the winter, which shows how carefully these groups consider the kids' daily needs and respond with genuine care. This made me realized that even small acts of kindness can have a meaningful impact on someone's life.
The mother of the person who gave the special lecture had children and raised them while she was still a student. When I heard that, I thought it's only my imagination that she must have faced a lot of difficult with money and student life. I don't personally know anyone like that, so I can only imagine the struggles from what I see in TV dramas, but I don't think giving birth while still a student is a bad thing, and that's precisely why I believe support systems need to be in place.
From this lecture, I realized that what supports my heart is something helps guide me in a positive direction. For her, the bracelet was something that supported her actions and gave her courage.
Even though I have something like an emotional support, I don't have the courage to take action, so I really admire her and wish that, with the help of my own support. I thought I would like to look into volunteer work I can do for others and take actions, even in a small way.
