I helped at reception desk and measuring height. There was unexpected thing but I operated smoothly. I took many pictures as photographer. I was impressed with participants’ eagerness for making their dream come true. As I realized the seriousness of participants through this help, I want to do my best to making my dream come true.

TAKAHASHI Yusei (JFA Academy Uki 6th term/7th grade)
I noticed one thing during the help, it is not easy to make preparation. There were many things to prepare for the selection and I set up the pitch by us. I tried to remember name of participants whom played together for help them getting relaxed. I want to keep on doing what I have learned to do and make most of it in the future.
