One of the biggest life-changing experiences that I have faced occurred when I went to Ghana for part of my summer course in 2013. I spent part of my first few weeks exploring the country, observing the many cities and villages. Later on, I started serving as a teaching assistant at both an elementary and middle school along with my classmates. We started teaching them mathematics and English. The experience enabled me to appreciate the significant difference between Ghana and Japans ways of functioning. They have also drastically changed my ways of analyzing and interpreting life situations.

In the world where everything changes at a rapid rate, being able to adapt and access new things is very significant to succeed. Therefore, as a student willing to accept new challenges, I believe a culturally rich environment can further enhance my learning.
