“Ganbare, Exam Students!”

As exam season approaches, the pressure of preparing for the all-important tests can be overwhelming. But one group of students in Japan have come up with a creative way to motivate themselves and their peers. A group of high school students from Saitama Prefecture recently started a project called “Ganbare, Exam Students!” (roughly translated as “Go for it, Exam Students!”). The project involves attaching motivational messages written on small paper tags to station signs around the prefecture. The messages are intended to encourage fellow students who are preparing for exams and remind them that they can do it if they put in the effort. The project has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response from both local residents and students alike. Many people have taken photos of the tags and shared them online with words of encouragement for those studying hard for their exams. Some have even gone out of their way to attach more tags to station signs around Saitama Prefecture in order to spread the message further. The project has been so successful that other prefectures across Japan have begun replicating it in their own areas. This is a great example of how young people can use creativity and collaboration to make a positive impact on society. It also serves as an inspiring reminder that we should never give up on our dreams no matter how difficult things may seem at times.
