I decided to study abroad because I would like to gain a deeper understanding of International Relations. I am currently majoring in this field at university. Studies at the university stimulated my interest in analyzing International Relations from a political perspective. Therefore, I have determined to study this subject from a different perspective than Japan and to study in the United States, which has a significant impact on international society. At Eastern Washington University, my chosen destination for studying abroad, I have the opportunity to major in International Relations and Political Science. I am particularly interested in taking courses in “International Affairs ” and “Political Science”. These courses provide me with classes such as “Introduction to US Politics”,” Political Theory ”and “Global Issues,” all of which are interesting to me. I am confident that I can cultivate the ability to analyze international societal movements from multiple perspectives through these classes. While I am there, I will be living in a campus dormitory, which will allow me to concentrate on my studies like never before. I would like to make the most of this study abroad opportunity and acquire deep knowledge and the ability to understand international issues properly.
