My efforts as a student, I put a lot of effort into planning and organizing parties in the States.

In the future, I want to work globally and actively challenge myself. To achieve this, I wanted to experience everything possible, so I joined the student committee at the study abroad destination and worked hard to plan and manage several events. At first, things did not go as planned, and events were often canceled or held with only a dozen or so participants. Thought that the problems were the high participation fee and the mundane planning. Therefore, I decided to change the direction and hold a fancy party that would attract many students while keeping the budget low by involving the school, renting a large facility for free, and asking an acquaintance to be the DJ. Also tried to win the sympathy of the participants by donating the proceeds of the event to a local children's hospital. As a result, the event was a huge success, attracting as many as 700 students and raising $3,465.
