Prologue<\/h3>\n

It all beg<\/span>a<\/span>n with my surprising discovery of ICC, a place that holds a variety of events to encourage communication between the International and Japanese students. Since I am a foreign student coming to Japan from high school, the linguistic, cultural and social challenges <\/span>inspired me to create events that facilitate foreign students\u2019 engagements and<\/span> interactions<\/span> with local students during their study abroad life. Therefore, ICC was the perfect, the one and only place for me to achieve this. Luckily, I was able to join and my lovely journey<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span> filled with ups and downs<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span> started.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ups<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The gains, the achievements and the joyfulness<\/span>,<\/span> are the \u201cUps\u201d that I \u2018ve been through during the work at the ICC. All of these have motivated me to put effort and discover my potential.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Colleagues with love<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Undoubtedly, it is always appreciated to work with so many intelligent, creative and supportive student staff and full time staff! The business skills, the communication ways and the spirit, I have learned so much from ICC members. We are not just colleagues, but we also get along with each other. I am so glad to have got to know people at ICC that I believe will be my lifelong friends.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>One impressive scene was that, when I go to work on the day that also happens to be my birthday, I received lots of wishes and sweet presents from ICC members each time. I was so moved and felt the warmness sincerely. At ICC, you always feel the sense of welcome and inclusiveness like a family.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
