IMLI is AMAZING. One thing that I really admire that I think all universities should borrow is how IMLI creates a personal relationship with the students. Every student has a personal tutor who has an open door policies. The environment created in IMLI motivates every students and gives them hope that one day they are going to be worldly renowned in this maritime field. I personally believe that very soon my picture is going to be adorning the classroom and giving other students to come inspiration and the drive to work hard and challenge themselves to be a better version of the image they see in the mirror.

To me the Nippon Foundation is God sent. I still cannot believe that I was chosen to be part of this great network. I am truly humbled. Because of the Nippon Foundation, my country can now boast of having another skillful maritime lawyer. The Nippon Foundation has made my society proud and now girls who are not fortunate to have a decent upbringing can see a silver lining. The Nippon Foundation has made a living testimony that hard work, tenacity, and focusness can take you from zero to a hero. Thank you the Nippon Foundation, Thank you Dr. Yohei Sasakawa.
