Being a media crew for MJIIT Japan Day 2022 was a unique and enjoyable experience for me. As an introverted person, I was initially nervous about approaching strangers and asking them questions. However, as I interviewed visitors and learned about their experiences, I felt more confident and comfortable in my role.

I enjoyed hearing about the different activities that people participated in and how they felt about the event overall. It was great to see the enthusiasm and interest that visitors had in learning about Japanese culture and trying new things.

Being part of the media crew also gave me a chance to improve my communication and interpersonal skills. I learned how to approach people in a friendly and professional manner, ask open-ended questions, and actively listen to their responses.
