We still remember those early mornings when we’d prep ingredients for our takoyaki before sunrise, then rush to class with notebooks tucked under our arms – and every single moment since has been shaped by your incredible support. What began as a way to fund our criminology education while pursuing our passion for learning soon grew into something far bigger: a community that rallied behind two students with a dream. Through the long hours of internship fieldwork, the nerve-wracking mockboard preparations that tested our limits, the pride of graduation day, and the final stretch of board exam reviews – you were there to lift us up. Whether you stopped by our stall for a warm snack, sent us words of encouragement when we felt overwhelmed, or simply believed we could do it – your kindness didn’t just help us survive this journey; it helped us thrive.
This achievement is not just ours – it belongs to every single person who played a part in our story, and above all, to God who guided us through every twist and turn of this journey. We give all glory and thanks to Him for blessing us with the strength to balance our studies and our takoyaki business, for carrying us through moments of doubt and exhaustion, and for placing each and every one of you in our lives. To our families who sacrificed so much to help us and stand firmly behind this journey; to our professors who stayed after class to clarify lessons and guided us through every step of our internships; to our customers who became friends and made sure we had the means to keep chasing our dreams; to our classmates who turned study sessions into bonds of solidarity and shared notes with open hearts during review periods; and to our mentors who prepared us rigorously for both the mockboard and actual board exams – each of you is a blessing we thank God for every day. As we embark on this new chapter as Registered Criminologists, we carry with us not just our hard-earned license, but the love, support, and trust you’ve given us, and the unwavering faith that has brought us this far. We promise to use our knowledge and skills to serve our community with the same dedication and heart that you’ve shown us, always honoring the grace that has been bestowed upon us.
