Experiences and Insights Gained Through Studying Abroad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During my study abroad experience, I learned the importance of taking initiative by stepping outside the environment where I had previously felt comfortable. While abroad, I actively engaged with others and sought out new experiences, which helped me develop a more proactive approach to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interacting with people from a wide variety of cultural and personal backgrounds also taught me the importance of understanding others, having confidence in my own beliefs, and communicating effectively. In addition, I had many opportunities to meet people who had experienced war firsthand. Through these interactions, I gained a deeper appreciation for the peace and security that I am fortunate to enjoy in my daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason why studying abroad was so important to me is that a six-month study abroad program I had planned during high school was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of that experience, I was determined to study abroad while at university. I chose Eikei University of Hiroshima because of its wide range of international study opportunities and exchange programs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Skills Developed Through Studying Abroad and Future Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through both my study abroad experience and the practical learning programs offered at university, I have gained a better understanding of my strengths and interests. I have also developed the ability to think about how to work effectively with others and collaborate toward shared goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These experiences have helped me form a clearer picture of how I would like to engage with society in the future. By learning through real-world experiences, I have been able to make more informed decisions regarding my future career path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward, I hope to pursue a career that involves working closely with people and building meaningful relationships. To achieve this, I would like to continue exploring my strengths and identifying the fields that best suit my abilities and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Message to High School Students Interested in Eikei University<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eikei University brings together students with diverse values and perspectives, creating an environment that encourages personal growth and continuous learning. It is a place where you can be inspired by those around you every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university also offers many opportunities for exchange programs and international study experiences. Therefore, I highly recommend Eikei University of Hiroshima to anyone who is interested in studying abroad, taking classes at overseas universities, or experiencing life in another country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
