I’ll admit that I did not study very hard until my sophomore year of university. At the end of my sophomore year I was exposed to economics, and for the first time in my life I became fascinated with academics and began to study in earnest. I had many friends in the club I belonged to who were enthusiastic about becoming researchers and shared their fascination with academia, and I think I was greatly influenced by them. Thanks to this, it is still a great pleasure for me to study economics. Not just limited to your studies, if you can broaden your interests by coming into contact with a variety of things and meeting different people while you are a student, I am sure you will be able to lead a fulfilling life. I hope you find something you can devote yourself to throughout your life. Even if you don’t find it while you are a student, there will surely be an opportunity to find it later in life. Interact with different people and try different things. If it is academic, I will help you as much as I can through lectures and seminars.
