This was my first time ever studying economics and at the start i found it challenging but slowly i started learning it. Also it was not easy to adopt to life in japan at the start because of issues like language but so far it has not stopped me from getting used to life in japan. Finding study and home life balance especially in a foreign country made me realise this strength that i have aquired.
Multitasking
I have managed to juggle university life, while being research assistant for two professors in my university. I managed to submit all work by deadline and also continue many research work.
Multitasking
Since I am currently studying in the IB course, I get a lot of assignments, and oftentimes, it is difficult to balance out my studies with the other activities that I do outside of school. However, after experimenting with different studying methods, I began to be better at balancing out my work. I also learned to give up on some things to make time for the other things that I need to prioritize.
Multitasking
I aquired multi-tasking from my club. Since we have our first ever tournament, club tends to get quite busy and I think I started to balance my schoolwork and that naturally as time went on.
Multitasking
My multitasking skills improved and enabled me to handle problems in a balanced manner. Balancing demanding coursework, research deadlines and personal commitments required careful prioritization and time management. Despite the pressure, I learned to adapt and maintain focus, ensuring each responsibility received adequate attention. Open communication played a vital role in managing overlapping deadlines and responsibilities. Through this experience, I gained confidence in handling complex situations without compromising on quality. The ability to multitask effectively became an important competency that continues to support me in many aspects of my life.
Multitasking
I always discuss with my professor and cohorts.
Multitasking
In 2022, I was assigned the role of interim Governor for 6 months and interim Deputy Governor for another 9 months on top my main role as the District (equivalent to Prefecture) Planning Officer. The main responsibilities of the above interim responsibilities were to spearhead the development of the district and maintain law and order in the district. Barely 10 years into the service, getting to take these responsibilities was the greatest honor one can ever get in the life.
Multitasking

Multitasking
During my two experiences of studying in foreign countries, in the UK and Japan, I had to adapt to the local life and get used to it quickly while I was studying. In terms of language, daily life and learning style. In fact, studying abroad is a very stressful experience in itself. Although familiarising myself with the local customs and ways of interacting with people and learning to use the school's facilities and help were not that difficult in themselves, adapting and solving problems at the same time within a limited period of time was a real new challenge for me. Compared to my first master's degree and my current study life, I have really improved a lot, being able to work independently and efficiently in multiple threads, organising my time and energy rationally, and facing challenges in many aspects at the same time.
