When I was in college, I was involved in a seminar activity to provide career support for children with foreign roots. The children's backgrounds were complex, and they faced challenges that they could not solve on their own, such as an unfamiliar foreign environment, their own roots, and an unaffluent family environment. I wanted to help these children in any way I could, and I wanted to acquire more advanced teaching skills in Japanese language education. In addition, if I were to work for an NPO or a local Japanese language class in the future, the experience I gained at the College of Education would surely help me when I need to collaborate with the school site. From these perspectives of Japanese language teaching methods and teacher certification, I decided to enter the Japanese Language Education Field of the Global Education Course. There are many reliable seniors and peers enrolled in this course. After entering this course, I will be interacting with and absorbing things from people with diverse backgrounds in terms of work experience, age, nationality, and experience. I am sure that this course will be a pleasant place full of learning for everyone.

I worked at a Japanese elementary school for 15 years until this march of 2022. The reason of study at the global education course of Naruto University of Education was because I used to work at a Japanese school in Pakistan. In Pakistan, I met local children and became interested in education in developing countries. This course is that I can interact with international students from various countries and experience many things that I normally cannot. You will be exposed to cultures and values that are different from those in Japan, and you will be able to feel your own personal growth. Most of the classes are conducted in English, which can be challenging at times, but the sense of fulfillment you get when you overcome a challenge in cooperation with your peers is fantastic. I am grateful for the wonderful friends I have made in this course. I hope that you also challenge your own potential at the graduate school of Naruto University of Education.
