About

I am a first year student at UBC Vantage One College. I am from Japan.

I like to socialize with people! I like to play sports especially running. I love dogs and I have four dogs in my house.

I have interest in social problems, especially environmental geography. I like to discuss, and think why it occurred and how can we solve the problem.

Academic goals (2019-2020)

This year, I aim to experience lots of different things. This is my first year in university and there are lots of differences from high school. I want to participate in lots of different activities and events.

Through the experiences, I want to find my weakness and strengths.

I am in the executive team (sports department) in the Japanese Association club.
