I look forward to meeting people through my interviews. I'm not good at writing essays, but I'll do my best to write interesting articles for my readers.

I'll work hard with other writers to encourage people of all ages to take an interest in peace issues!

I play baseball in junior high school. I'll do my best to promote peace!

Through our writing, I hope to make people more aware of Hiroshima's history and promote peace.

I want to share what you didn't know or what you wondered about, and in this way, deepen your awareness.

This is my first experience working on a newspaper so it's very interesting. I'm the youngest member, but I'll do my best.

I'll be happy if you read our newspaper and it strengthens your interest in peace. I'll work hard so please read our paper.

I applied to be a junior writer because I'm interested in conflict resolution and peace, and I thought it would be a good chance to learn more about peace issues.

I want to think more about peace and share the things I learn with the world. I'll do my best to support our group.

I'm happy to work with friends of different ages. I'll do my best to help make this a wonderful newspaper!
