College of Sustainability and Tourism, 2nd year student


I was drawn to APU's College of Sustainability and Tourism because it combines classroom learning with practical experience. At APU, I am immersed in a vibrant community of students from diverse backgrounds, each pursuing their unique goals. Together with supportive faculty, friends, and local residents, these interactions have expanded my worldview and inspired me to take on new challenges. I am currently involved in food bank activities, and I hope to establish a food assistance network in Oita and Beppu City. The smiles I’ve seen at food pantries drive me to continue. I am committed to spreading joy and making a positive impact through these efforts.
