Did Star Wars change your life? Four project updates.
This is a fan project to invite seven people to speak at Star Wars Celebration Chicago about how Star Wars changed their life. It is such a pleasure for me to work on this project.

*Why I want to tell my story at SWCC >> see #3 I came to the US to say "Thank you" to Star Wars fans
3. Organizing
In order to learn to organize speech events in the US, I’m participating in major American speech clubs. I have an experience of organizing Star Wars Reads Day event in Japan, but there must be a lot to learn from volunteering in these organizations.

4. English language
Video below was taken in my private English pronunciation class; I'm improving my English so to deliver my presentation better to the audience, as well as to organize the event better. So simple sentence that "My name's Mio Ikeda", but it is difficult to make it flow smoothly. (24sec)
I appreciate this fortune that I can follow my passions. I also appreciate people who kindly help me bring about this event from many different aspects, such as communications in English, facilitating speeches, and introducing key persons. Thank you! m(_ _)m
