Episode

The eight competencies developed at Ritsumeikan Academy.
We introduce how they are developed through daily experiences, along with diverse episodes.

*These episodes are based on responses actually submitted by students at every level of education—including elementary, junior high, and high school students, as well as university and graduate students—in the Quantitative Survey for Ritsumeikan Academy Competency Framework conducted in the 2024 academic year.

People helped me decide whats best for me and what I need to do and when I need to do it, mostly seniors and other friends who have more experience than me.

Empathy

When my friends asking me for advice, I can see how I can put myself in their shoes as before I find it difficult to think emotionally.

Empathy

empathy when helping others during times of need.

Empathy

Resilience

I failed in entrance test in other uniersity but I learned a lot from that

Resilience

when I was a bachelor's degree, pursuing higher education made me eager to refocus on how to get scholarship, and although many times failed.

Resilience

During the exam period, there were various assignments due at the same time. For example, EE, the IAs, self-study, and assignments were to be done simultaneously. This required multitasking, where I worked on one assignment while finishing up the other.

Multitasking

When doing an internship, I was faced with many challenges and had to do many things in order to over come said challenges. I went through multiple design and manufacturing processes which made the product better. However, It took a whopping 3 years for me to perfect one section of the specific item. Although it took time and many trials and errors, in the end the feeling of completion was very happy and great.

Initiative

As I want to work with wildlife or contribute to support nature, i took initiative to apply for internships or volunteer work at farms, vet clinics, sea animal conservation centers, animal shelters, and animal adoption events.
