名前: Sora 職業: 大学生(大学院進学志望です！) 趣味: サッカー観戦&プレー, 映画鑑賞 今頑張ってること: 英語, Flutter(アプリケーション開発) 長所: 挑戦的 短所: 楽観的 特技: 最近は料理！！ 出没場所: スタバ 私は現在大学生ですが、大学生になるのに興味がなかった時期がありました。それが高校3年生〜卒業の時。将来のことなんか一度も考えたことなんかなくて、先が真っ暗でした。そんな矢先に父が大学にいけば何かが起きると言われ受験期で偏差値を38という絶望からなんとか念願の大学に合格できました。(地獄のように辛かったのを今も覚えています笑) それから今は理系の情報学科を専攻しており、趣味でFlutterを用いてアプリ開発を行いつつ、大学院に向けて英語に励んでいます！！
