Get out of the pool and start swimming in the ocean!

The project for me was very interesting. As one of the project leaders, I felt honored to meet and discuss many things with Hokusei students. Seeing them on my laptop screen really warmed my heart, as they were very nice to us. We decided to form small groups - we thought that it would be good, because we could communicate better in small groups and talk more to improve their skills in English communication.
During the big day, I found it to be quite amazing, because everyone had prepared their presentation so well and I received lots of new information from them. I understood it was during the COVID-19 pandemic and we had to hold the discussion virtually, but I felt that there was a connection between Maranatha and Hokusei students.

A message to juniors

If you are still sitting in the lower semesters, now is the time to “get out of the pool and start swimming in the ocean”. What I mean by that is you have to start exposing yourself to new cultures, new languages, and new people. There are so much to experience while you are in college and don’t let that waste. By joining a program like this, you will be able to expand your horizons and drag yourself out of your comfort zone. I wish you good luck and remember, never be afraid to try!
