Japan Internships with Meiji Internships

I wish i would have been more familiar with the driving laws of Japan and the process of obtaining/translating a driver's license, since I would have loved to drive with the motorbike along the coast of Fukuoka. For my friends I advice on better research of climate and weather as nothing seems as it looks like and I brought no short pants with me as I thought it would not be necessary.

My average day starts in the morning at 7am with a small breakfast, and afterward my work in my internship from 9am to 7pm. I work in the marketing department and get a variety of tasks, so I know how my day looks like when I arrive at work and that provides me with diversification. The fun starts in the evening after work when I roam the city with my friends or on my own and go after my hobbies, like city and street photography. Week by week I plan spots to visit and goals to achieve.

My biggest fear of going into my abroad experience was the unabikity of improvement, the issue of not obtaining new skills and knowledge or not developing myself. I tried to overcome it by setting clear goals and aims during my time abroad with topics to discuss and learn - topics regarding new hobbies like photography or learning about philosophy, by discussing principles of stoicism, Buddhism and Confucianism. I searched for orientation and a direction only to realize that this fear is nothing significant. The choice to go abroad itself is development and the change of the environment causes self development. So basically there was nothing to fear in the beginning.

I could have decided to not go in a share house but live on my own. The best memories I have are connected to the people I got to know in the share house, so there is nothing I would change. I can only advise to better research laws and processes of translating the drivers license as it would have been nice to be able to drive with the motorbike along Japanese coasts.

I first met an American who came to Japan at university. I regularly taught him Japanese because he was not good at Japanese at that time.

One day, he tried to go to the hot spring alone. However, he got lost in the mountains and wandered alone in the dark.

However, he spoke in Japanese to an elderly man who drove by car. The old man saw him and took him to the hot spring by car. I was reminded of the warmth of the hearts of Japanese people and was very happy.

I want to create a world where people around the world can work happily. Why? There are many people in the world who do not feel like their work is worthwhile. Some people even commit suicide because of tough working conditions.

I sincerely hope to change this situation and make workers feel cherished. Meiji Internships provides valuable internships for everyone. From start to finish, the staff will do everything to help interns have an amazing work experience. I want to realize a program that allows people from all over the world to work with satisfaction and respect each other, especially in Japan.

My company has a sense of speed. They can solve problems very quickly and work efficiently. I have a task for each person, on which they work reliable while highly valuing information sharing. When I am worried my team members are helping me immediately. They are listening to me when i am in trouble and share advice. I am proud of the helpfulness and the joint growth of my team.

Time management is essential for a company to succeed. We shouldn't work slowly because the same amount of time (24 hours) is giving to every person and everyone is equal. In that context, whether to spend that time or waste is very important for the success of the company. I will continue to value time management and do my very best to reach the highest standards - and beyond
