Having transferred to many schools when I was young, accepting new environment was not difficult for me at all. I loved to experience new thing and making new friends. However, it was not the case when I moved to Canada at the age of 12. I had difficulty dealing with Chinese student at there; because of the historical back ground that Japan and China has. They rarely talked to me and they did not involve me to the group. At first, I did not know what to do. I could not speak English at all, so I could not express myself there or communicate with them. However, I thought that I have to make some changes by myself in order to get along with new school, so I started to change my behavior. I tried to talk even with my poor English. I joined many activities such as school band, basketball team, volleyball team and even chess club. As I changed my attitude, the way people treat me also changed. They gradually accepted me, and try to talk to me even I could understand only about 30% of what they were saying. And it was that time that I started to dream of working at United Nations. After having this experience, I thought that I want be a connecter between minority and other, and thought that United Nation would be a best place to archive what I want. So I made up my mind to go to American university and study global studies, while all of my other friends are trying hard for the entrance examination of Japanese university. I thought that at American university, I could both improve my knowledge of global studies more and my language ability. To me, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign provides a great opportunity to learn what I want and come in touch with diversity, and will lead to the dream of United Nation.
