    #30 (solo episode) Let's reflect on our new year's resolution in 2019 !

    It is nearly the end of the year. How was 2019 for you ?   I imagine a lot of things have happened to all of you. For me, this year had a lot of changes in life. I have made some big decisions, such as living in France for one year.    As much importance it has to set a new target for the next year, I thought it would be equally important as well as a lot of fun to look back on what we have set ourselves to achieve at the start of 2019.    In today's episode, I will share some of the things I set myself as a target at the start of this year and make a comment on how I did.    I hope 2019 was a great year for all of you and I wish you all a very happy new year !    Let's make 2020 even more enjoyable and fruitful altogether :)    [Show breakdown] [0:20 - 2:40] How our goals change as we go through a lot of things.  [2:41 - 4:11] Comment on my 1st target : Top 16 or above in the ○○ competition [4:12 - 5:08] Comment on my 2nd target : Eat less ○○.  [5:09 - 5:38] Comment on my 3rd target : Brush up ○○ to a native level.  [5:39 -] Ending comments.   ### If you have any questions you would like me to ask people on the street or any professions you would like me to do the interview with, feel free to let me know ! ###   Contact me via: Instagram: Podcast account: @yuki.toastitup Personal account: @yuki.bboytoast Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/yukibboytoast/
