Hello! This is Kanon from Osaka!
How is everyone? It’s been a long time. Hope everyone is doing fine.
I want to share with everyone what a I doing after I joined EIC in 2011.
What are you doing now?
I am now a member of the lacrosse club at the university and practice every day. We practice five times a week, and I am doing my best in club activities and studying. Since entering university, my motivation to study English has been rekindled, and I am now focusing on reading and speaking. I am also currently working at the university’s intercultural exchange center. I am working every day to learn what cross-cultural exchange is through hands-on experience and to contribute to the promotion of cross-cultural exchange at the university. I think my motivation to work at the university’s intercultural exchange center came from my experience with EIC, which I participated in when I was in elementary school.

What do you remember about EIC?
When Maza invited me to EIC when I was in kindergarten (Maza came to my Kumon center with Tarta for their training), it was always my goal to participate in EIC. When I finally entered elementary school, I participated in EIC and it was really a wonderful experience for me. It taught me the vastness of the world, whereas I thought Osaka was the only place in the world. Kumon is definitely the reason why I started to look at the world and study English. Those 7 days that I spent with the camp leaders from all over the world and all the participants from all over Japan and talked a lot with them are my treasures.
What is your next challenge or goal?
My current goal is not a concrete plan for what I will do in the future, but I just have a desire to live abroad. Therefore, my current goal is to become fluent in English. Another important goal while I am a university student is to participate in big games in club activities, such as league games and Waseda-Keio games.
Message to EIC Family
