Classmates and friends are treasures. There is no really dominant nationality at IUJ. Many of us face some difficulties and friends are the ones who always support each other. By such experiences, more mutual understanding and closer friendship beyond nationalities are created, which always encourages me.
Study itself has given me the opportunities not only for enhancing my knowledge but also good training in time management and reading, writing and analyzing. It has taught me the importance of thinking from many different angles.
My dream is to work for women and children, or let me say for the well being of humans.

My dream is to work for women and children, or let me say for the well being of humans. This was implanted within me at a very young age. Ⅰwas searching for an opportunity to gain some theoretical knowledge in this field, which I have received at IUJ. I would like to work in an International Organization like I did in the past but in a better position with more responsibility. With the various subjects that I have taken so far and the many other courses that I plan to take in the future, I am quite confident in being able to achieve my goal after IUJ. IUJ has helped me shape my future the way I have always wanted it.
I will be able to collaborate with my peers here at IUJ to build a global network of professionals...

Since the subject of peace has always been thought of as a "western idea", I thought that it would be very interesting to learn about it from an Asian perspective. I think that Japan is currently at the turning point of its history as it opens up to global culture and takes its place as one of the world's economic leaders. For this reason, Japan proves to be a very strategic choice for achieving an international education with a very global perspective.
In the future, I hope to join an international organization that will be able to give me the opportunity to work in the areas of human rights, peace and development. Through my education here in IUJ, I hope to be trained well-enough and be fully equipped so that I may be able to give back to the global society as much as I have been given. I also hope that in the future, if opportunity allows, I will be able to collaborate with my peers here at IUJ to build a global network of professionals, so that together, we can positively impact the world.
