it's my pleasure to have this treasure opportunity to come to KUISs for the exchange student program for one year. Because of my major in international business, during the period of the program, I want to strengthen my skills in marketing and learn the know-how of companies in Japan. For example, understanding more about cases of successful and unsuccessful enterprises is one of my learning goals. I believe this knowledge which I am thirsty can lead to comprehensive thinking and help me a lot in the future workplace. Thus, I will be motivated to participate in the course and stay focused on every lecture in the class. Besides, I will make much endeavor to improve the language proficiency of Japanese, so that I can express my thoughts more accurately.

Simultaneously, when getting out of my comfort zone, I may have more chances to improve my ability to be independent, which helps me not easily get dread when facing difficulties in my future life. During my life at KUISs, I wish I will cooperate and get along well with the teachers and my peers. In addition, I want to convey the wonderfulness, beauty, and culture to my Japanese friends. Understanding the culture and history of Japan is also an indispensable part of this journey. after that, when I go back to Taiwan, I will be qualified for promulgating a variety of experiences in Japan to my family and friends.

Traveling around Japan is also on my to-do list. I've gone to Japan 3 times. I am always attracted by the scene and food in Japan. Moreover, the literature and the cultural exhibition in Japan are impressive and extraordinary. Thus, I will seize this chance besides learning hard I can enjoy the various life in japan as well.

I have studied in the Marketing department at Kansai International University. Although there were only a few subjects that I took, such as business administration, marketing, and advertising, they all helped me deepen my understanding of marketing expertise. Even though I’ve already studied similar content at a university in Taiwan, the language was changed to Japanese entirely, so there was a certain degree of difficulty and high barriers to doing a perfect job. Nevertheless, the teachers at the school were always concerned about the students and I was also taken care of in many ways. I also participated in the third-grade study course and learned how teachers counseled students about their career paths and avoid them not to be anxious.

Additionally, I realized that the teachers at this school are very dedicated and passionate about their students and do their best to fulfill their role as teachers to help students work towards their future. On the other hand, the students in this school also show much respect to teachers, which makes the school with strong educational atmosphere.

Finally, the process was interesting and refreshing, as I learned with many foreign classmates with a different education than in Taiwan. Being able to interact with Japanese professors and students and immerse myself in the Japanese educational scene was a very valuable and cherished time. I am looking forward to experiencing more things in Japan before I go back to Taiwan in two months.

During the past six months, I have been able to expand not only my academic growth and Japanese language abilities but also my own horizons. While I am in Japan, I traveled to various parts of Japan such as Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Tokyo, and Hokkaido. During my travels, I learned about each region's history and culture, visited ancient ruins, and experience local cuisine. What I gained and learned from my travels and experiences is more valuable than what I could have obtained from books, and I will cherish it for the rest of my life. In addition, I have become more independent, and capable of facing unfamiliar challenges without relying on anyone else, and my self-reliance has grown stronger.

In the future, I hope to continue developing myself by applying what I have learned in Japan even after returning to Taiwan. I plan to attend graduate school to acquire specialized skills, and I hope to lead a better life with independence and reason.

I still have many experiences that I have not yet encountered, and I was able to meet friendly classmates and teachers who were kind to me. Even when I return to Taiwan, I will not forget my experiences. I want to share my experiences in Japan with my family and friends and create wonderful memories together. Thanks to Kansai University of International Studies, I was able to spend a very fulfilling time during this period.
