What is your advice to your fellow young people?---------------------
Try to be someone. Do not settle for anything less. Do not be complacent with the status quo. Try to be better. Contribute to progress, don’t just be nakiki-uso (being a conformist). Think and try new ideas, new things, be innovative in different fields. I like one of UP’s mantras: “When everyone is sitting down, we stand up. When everyone is standing up, we stand out.” We should all try to be better, to go to another level.
I heard you love reading. What are your favorite books?-----------------
I enjoy simple books, like Harry Potter. (Laughs). When I was in Japan as an exchange student, my host family gave me the first Harry Potter novel, which I read in one night only. I’ve actually read the entire Harry Potter series 10 times, because I’m hooked on this saga. The author J. K. Rowling is very talented. The story is simple but makes you believe in a world like that. Other books I enjoy are the suspense and mystery novels of Agatha Christie. What I like about all her novels is they’re unpredictable, there’s always a unique twist in the plot. I want to have a collection of all her novels.
What are your secrets for getting the highest grades?--------------------
I don’t memorize textbooks word for word. I just read, and if time permits, I read the book three times. First, to get an idea; second, to understand the concept; and third, to remember important data very well. It’s important to understand what you’re reading.
