Akari Ueno

self-introduction

Nice to meet you! I'm Ueno Akari, a second-year high school student.

A friend of mine introduced me to this program, and I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to serve as a leader.

I have been a member of the Girl Scouts since I was in the senior year, and have gained a lot of experience through the annual camps and regular activities. Looking back, I realize that it was a very valuable experience.

It seems that children today have few opportunities to interact with nature and rarely leave their parents' homes. As a leader, I wanted to give them the opportunity to gain as much experience as possible, which is why I became interested in this program. I have a younger brother who is eight years younger than me, so I feel I am good at working with young children!!

In the future, I would like to start a company that supports athletes in their second careers. While there are various support programs overseas and many athletes have found success in their second careers, it seems that in Japan, although there are support programs, they are not very effective. I would like to be the next to give back to the athletes who inspired me during their active careers.
