When I entered university, I didn\u2019t have anything in particular I wanted to pursue, but SI programs became a major turning point that expanded my sense of what was possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Through a connection I made with one of the SI instructors, I became involved in organizing a business contest in Fiji. Encouraged by the instructor\u2019s words\u2014\u201cIf you\u2019re going to do something, you might as well choose what excites you the most\u201d\u2014I also assisted in hosting an event called \u201cIntellectual Bodybuilding,\u201d featuring muscular men wearing glasses, in Sabae City, Japan\u2019s hub for eyewear manufacturing. These were opportunities I never would have imagined encountering\u00a0 in my ordinary university life.<\/p>\n

SI programs also gave me early exposure to thinking about my future career. From my first year in university, I had the opportunity\u00a0 to listen to professionals working at the forefront of companies like Bloomberg and Google, which helped me become more conscious of my future path at an early stage.<\/p>\n

SI programs are full of opportunities that uncover unexpected interests and offer insights into broadening one\u2019s expertise. How you make use of the opportunities provided\u2014and how you connect them to your future\u2014is entirely up to you. First, step into the world of SI and take the first step driven by your curiosity. Expanding your world during your first and second years of university will surely serve as a solid foundation for making the most of your third and fourth years\u2014and of your life beyond university.<\/p>\n
