MORE

After failing the university entrance exam, I enrolled in the English major with the aim of transferring two years later, and the most memorable experience was the first class of the TOEIC® course, where the teacher, who was rumored to be the strictest in the school, blasted me, "If you call yourself a student of Kanda Institute of Languages, you should aim to score over 900 on the TOEIC®. These words ignited my fire and I studied hard for TOEIC®. Every day, I stayed at school until 8:00 p.m. for self-study, and then moved to a cafe to study until 10:00 p.m. I made sure to put into practice the advice I received from my teacher. By always putting into practice the advice I received from my teacher, I was able to raise my TOEIC score from 550 when I first entered the school to 830 a year later. In the end, I was able to obtain a score of 950 points. To be honest, when I first enrolled in the school, I was worried that I would not be able to get into the university this time, but as the results of my efforts showed up in the form of TOEIC® scores, I became more and more confident. My wish came true and I was accepted into Kanda University of International Studies, my first choice. In order to take on the challenge of studying abroad for an extended period of time, I chose to transfer to the second-year program. Starting this April, I will study abroad at a community college in Seattle, USA, for six months. I plan to do an internship in the hospitality industry there, and my goal is to become a hotelier who is proficient in languages in the future. Vocational school is not a detour. I encourage everyone to consider the route of "go to university after developing your skills at Kanda Institute of Languages" as one of your options. The best result will be waiting for you.
