≪Impressions from the LMP Presenters≫

●留学以来、自分と向き合うことがなかったからとてもいい機会になった。自分の考えやこれまでのことをまとめることは簡単ではなかったし、わからなくなることもあったけど、こんなに大勢の人の前で話すことはなかなかできることではないので、自分の大きな自信になった。社会に出ても怖くないと思える。


●自分が絶対に出たいという思いで出場したわけではなかったけれど、今は本当に出場してよかったと思っている。自分とよく向き合い、今まで気づかなかった自分を知ることができてよかった。改めて自分の周りの人のやさしさに気づくこともできた。他のファミリーに行って初めて会った人なのに、アドバイスや感想を言ってくれて改めてヒッポの人のすごさも感じた。自分のファミリーの人は毎週話を聞いてアドバイス、感想も言ってくれて自分ごとのように私のLMPと向き合ってくれて自分の周りには本当にすばらしい人がたくさんいて幸せものだと思った。自分1人では成し遂げられないものだったと強く感じている。


●プレゼンだけではなく、プロセス及び人との出会いが良かったです。


●新たな自分、言葉に出会えたから挑戦して良かった。自分が成長できた。
