1 month in Japan!

One month ago I arrived in Japan not sure of what will happen... Now that I have been here for one month, I think that 2 years will go by fast.

I arrived full of excitement and eagerness... I was preparing for this for about one year in Salem. I worked at TIUA with students from TIU, and it was a great experience. I truly value the study abroad experience because it had such a big impact on me. When I first studied and traveled outside the US in 2007, I had a new outlook on life.

I look at my students now, and I really enjoy teaching and getting to know them. I encourage them to try to do some kind of study abroad experience. I also get to meet with students that I taught and met with in Salem, because they are now back at school in Japan.

I am truly lucky for all that I have and get to learn and experience. Happy Friday!
