Period:2015/10/5 – 30
Departments: Occupational and Environmental Health

When I was in junior high school, I was very interested in going to Japan and want to learn in the Sakura Country. I didn’t believe my dream to be hugged by God, I got a chance to learn in Nagoya University for four weeks, thank God. Firstly I was very scared and nervous of coming to Nagoya University, but I am very fortunate to be able to join the department Occupational and Environmental Health, all members in Lab are very friendly, Professor Kato is very good and friendly, and especially my tutor, he always taught me a lot about the Health Risk Assessment, a lot of experiences, new knowledge, and thanks to him I could see the water Purification in Nagoya. He always supported me to learn and made me confident though I am not good at speaking in English. Doumo Arigatogouzaimasu Yoshinaga Sensei.

In addition to the following activities in the Lab, I also got the chance to learn Japanese language, although only three time meetings, I am very happy with them and also attended a meeting with YLP at Nagoya University, in this meeting I got a lot of knowledge about a variety of health problems in various countries.

When I missed my family and my friends, I could entertain myself for coming to the Tsurumai Park, my heart and mind to be good when I sat in this park. All the people were very friendly, I felt comfortable here, and like this environment without anxiety haunts. This exchange program truly fosters the spirit to study, cultural exchange, and friendship. I really want to go back to study here.
