Selected as one of the participant for 49th IATSS Forum is a dream come true for me. I really want to join this program from several years ago. This program will provide an opportunity for me and all the participants to learn many things, such as Japanese technology and development experiences. This program also gives me a chance to meet and collaborate with many potential young leaders from the Southeast Asia countries which has many different characteristics and unique cultures too. This opportunity will certainly give a great contribution to my perspective and also influence me in think and re-act. I can’t wait to go to Japan and find new adventures there. Beside that, I would like to experience the different cultures of our ASEAN and Japanese experience. I think it will definitely be a most fun and enjoyable experience, especially when you learn from the best. I am also sure that staying in Japan, will be a great chance to know Japanese culture as well as get to know each other as participants. Moreover, there will be many chances to improve skills in communication, leadership, spirit for volunteering, judgment and decision-making in internationally diversified groups in the classroom, in daily life and in the Forum activities. These unique abilities will be very useful for my future career to lead groups with different cultural norms and backgrounds, andto work effectively in international teams. I can see that IATSS forum could offer a great benefit tothose of us whodesire to achieve in life as we think and learn together. I’m really looking forward to meeting and sharing new things with others in IATSS Forum, where I can live and study in a multi-cultural environment with interesting exchanges and interaction.Last but not least, I would like to get to know everyone at the forum, from the participants to the organizers, who have made it possible for us to step into Japan! See you all in Japan.
