Hi Everyone!
Thank you for taking interest in my study abroad program in JAPAN. I am looking to raise money to make this dream become a REALITY. I also want to use this platform to take each of you along my journey from application, acceptance, preparation, and experience throughout the program.
What I am trying to do?
I have applied and am pending acceptance to study abroad in JAPAN from March 2022 to April 2023. That's 10 months....and I couldn't be more excited.
Why do I want to study abroad?
A big reason for me wanting to study abroad is seeing other people's cultures and learning how other people from different places view the world. I’ve always had an interest in seeing the world from all sorts of different perspectives and by going to study abroad I will be able to experience the culture and viewpoints of Japan. Another reason is learning about myself, by going abroad and seeing different viewpoints on the world and on life will help me develop life skills away from my parents and in turn, help me as a young adult mature and find myself more. It will be a great opportunity for me to see my own personal strengths and even weaknesses as a person and show me more about life and the real world. Lastly for me wanting to study in Japan is the hard and challenging education system. Although in America we have a fairly difficult education system I have a hard time finding myself feel challenged by it a lot of the time, so I’m hoping that Japan can provide me with that educational challenge I seek.
How do my parents feel about this DREAM?
They're terrified but super excited to help me in my journey and experience of studying abroad.
Can I speak Japanese?
Not yet! But I am starting lessons and private tutoring.
How much does this cost?
$16,000 for the program. Not including preparation fees for things like shots, VISAs, lessons, etc.
Where will I be located?
It's unknown until placement is complete. That can be anywhere from acceptance up to a few days before departure.
How can you help?
At the moment, if you have any experience with a study abroad program I would love to hear from you. Most importantly, I need financial help. So please donate, share this and help me raise the money needed to prepare to study abroad.
