　Through this entrepreneurship course, one thing that really stuck out to me is to never let your age or doubts hold you back from expressing your creativity.
　At first, I thought that it would be impossible for a group of high school students to come up with a business idea and plan, however, through the lessons provided by Itsuki and Hayasaka-sensei, my group and I were able to not only come up with a creative idea, but also successfully present it to our peers and teachers. We came up with an application with various features for its users to practice using the foreign language of their choice. The 4 main features of this application are the blog, letter, voice chat, and digital diary which no other application provides!
　My group mates and I were confident in our business presentation, however, after hearing the other groups excellent and innovative ideas, I did not know who would win at all! After hearing the announcement and finding out that my group had won, I was extremely delighted. One reason was because we received a delicious snack from Hayasaka-sensei, but the main reason is because we will get the opportunity to present at Tohoku University which my group mates and I are extremely grateful for. We are really looking forward to it and will do our best to deliver a good quality presentation!

　Throughout the activities of the entrepreneurship course, I have learned how entrepreneurs see the world as a person who creates and manages a business venture with the goal of achieving profit and company growth. At the early segment of the course, we brainstormed the "frustrating things" that happen in our daily lives in our group, ultimately agreeing on our problem of "lack of concentration”.
　For the product for our group presentation, we have come up with an app that aims to boost work efficiency for people through the age range from students to businessmen. We first thought of our company's mission, vision, and value to organize what we are trying to do with the product. After that, we designed how the product is going to turn out, with the features and abilities it comes with. And finally, we wrote down an explanation of why our product is worth buying and the potential benefits of using it. We assembled all of this into a poster and prepared for the presentation- which all of this was only done in around 4 hours. We were quite rushed with this project. Although we were in a hassle with the creation, I think our presentation was executed pretty well with the Q&As at the end. I'm really glad it all turned out to be great, and it really helped me and my team strengthen our viewing as being an "entrepreneur".
　I would like to thank our course instructors, Itsuki and Professor Masahiko, for guiding and teaching us all the way until here. We have learned so many things about how entrepreneurs start their business, brainstorm ideas, and grow their way to creating a product. It helped us unlock deeper thinking, improve overall communication skills, and, most importantly, expand creativity. 　 　And in addition to all of this, we feel very honored and thankful to have an opportunity to present at Tohoku University. We are looking forward to ultimately revamping the entirety of our posters and presentations to do even better than our previous one. And just to make sure, we aren't rushing the project this time.
