Interviews of Current Students

Faculty of Education 4th year Mr.Koichi Uruma
Entered by Bekka Preparatory Japanese Language Program Admissions

I was born and raised in the US, and knew about Soka University when I started to think about my future. Since I had interest in child psychology, I decided to apply for the Faculty of Education. Attending the classes, I got inspired by the spirit of Soka Education that focuses on the potential of each child, and determined to become an elementary school teacher in the future. I will be a teacher that values the children’s thoughts and feelings!
