Why am I in IES?

Frankly, maybe because I wanted to work real hard when I came to KGU. I went to school in England and it was a great experience for me. However, as you can imagine easily, I didn't study at all. Instead, I spent my whole school life playing tennis, athletics and swimming. It was fun too but I wish I could study more. I was a really good athlete (not trying to be arrogant by the way) out of all students in my Jr. high and high school. I was in a top team of tennis and swimming too so I had to go away and practice everyday. I have no idea how I passed my exams to graduate from high school to be honest.

Because of this I promised myself to work hard at university in Japan. This is the main reason why I chose IES since I had an advantage to speak English better than a lot of Japanese students here. I still don't think it was a wrong choice, but teachers give me a lot of assignments to do and my friends here are too fun to hang out with. I'm not saying that my friends made me lazy but I am getting lazy more than ever. But in order to achieve my goal after university, I need to stick with IES.

Although staying in IES is hard, I think IES is good for people like me. Since I came back to Japan, I have difficulty speaking in English and so IES keeps me reminding of how to speak or to write English which is good.
