Hello EIC family,
Recently, coronavirus continue to spread in Japan and around the world without stopping. How are you feeling? I want Corona Virus to end soon!! I joined EIC 2013 in Biwako camp when I was in grade 4 (10 years old).

What are you doing now?
I am participating in a program called “Gakunai Ryuugaku”. This is an activity in high school and students study one topic from a variety of studies, such as psychology, business administration and we study deeply throughout the year always using in English. Through this activity, not only can we gain knowledge of a certain study, but also we could learn what to do and what expressions in English are most suitable to audience.

Guess where is this place?
Why did you choose the things you are doing now?
Because I enjoy doing something by using English!!
How EIC influenced your life?
The experience at EIC made me strong. I’m no longer afraid to talk in English. Also I became interested to want to study abroad someday!

Next challenge?
Through studying abroad, I want to interact with many people from other countries and learn about their cultures!!
