Q1. Please introduce yourself briefly! And please fill in the blank of “I want to be a ______ volunteer”.
“I want to be an ‘F’ type of volunteer! The ‘F’ here refers to the ‘empathetic F’ in the MBTI personality type test, and like the MBTI F type, I want to be a volunteer who can empathize with and understand the situations of refugees!”
Q2. Please tell us about your motivation for applying to MAP.
“I lived in the United States, a ‘melting pot’ culture, and in the Middle East, a conservative culture, where I directly experienced discrimination because of my different appearance and limited language skills, and I watched people take discrimination against women and children for granted. My greatest fear was the frightening ‘silence’ chosen by bystanders, and I came to dream of a world without discrimination. I applied to MAP because I wanted to come one step closer to creating a world without discrimination!”
Q3. When do you feel most like yourself?
“I think I feel most like myself when I listen to the worries and stories of the people around me! I also seem most like myself when I think about something alone.”
Q4. Is there something you have never done before but want to try in order to discover yourself?
“Hmm.. I definitely want to go on a solo trip around the world at least once! I think that seeing and experiencing places different from where I live would broaden the way I see the world 😊”
Q5. Whether or not others recognize it, there are times when I think I am cool myself. When was the coolest moment of your life?
“Playing the lead role in a musical in middle school! I played Annie in the musical Annie, and since it was a performance I had prepared hard for almost half a year, it was a truly proud and moving experience! But I think I try my best to live every moment in a cool way~! Today, too, I made an effort to make it a cool day~! ”
Q6. Finally, what kind of “change” do you want to bring about through your activities at MAP?
“Through my activities at MAP, I want to try to build a society that is a little closer to equality and peace! Of course, perfect equality and peace would be difficult, but I want to do my best within the society I belong to 😊 Fighting!”
