Natnael came to Japan six years ago as a sports scholarship student. After graduating from SEISA Kokusai High School Shonan, he continued his studies at SEISA Dohto University in Hokkaido. On March 14, he proudly attended his graduation ceremony.

Although he faced difficult times due to injuries that prevented him from fully dedicating himself to track and field, his natural optimism and passion for academics allowed him to have a fulfilling university life.

Reflecting on his graduation, Natnael shared, "I feel relieved, but at the same time, I’m excited about the new things ahead. However, it's also a bit sad that my school life has come to an end. Six years felt long, but looking back, they passed in the blink of an eye. I am truly grateful for this valuable opportunity. I sincerely thank everyone who has supported me along the way. Without their help and advice, I wouldn't have made it this far. Thank you so much."

After graduation, Natnael plans to remain in Japan and is preparing to work for a company. We look forward to seeing his future success in society!
