Acupuncture and me

Why did I start thinking studying an Acupuncture??

When I was a high school student before the college entering exam, I got sciatic nerve pain. Ortho Dr told me that there were no way other than pain killer, but this pain killer would make me sleepy....but I had to study for entering exam, right??

So there were no confidence with my Dr, but...he recommended me to get an acupuncture treatment.....that's the beginning of my Acupuncture life.

Acupuncturist was really nice guy and he always make me feel relax....and release my pain.
Then...I was thinking...oh, how I could be like him....western medicine could not help, but other way.....then I found my college "Meiji University of Oriental Medicine" which was far away from my home.....8 hours driving a way.

Anyway, I took the entering exam and passed and got in my college.
My mom and grandma were not happy about that because....being acupuncturist in Japan was more for blind people's job....BUT!!! you know I anyway went to my college and studied for 3 years and took exam and passed and one more year to be an intern...then graduate with Bachelor in Acupuncture in 1996.
