Hello! My name is Jasmine Bean, a high school sophomore. I am thrilled to share that I have been accepted into CIEE’s high school study abroad in Tokyo, Japan to study their Japanese Pop Culture: Anime & Manga program! I am set to go this Summer. I can’t express how thrilled I am as I’ve been invested in Japanese culture for several years.

While I was fortunate to receive a scholarship that covers part of the cost, there are still many expenses left to cover. This opportunity means the world to me, and I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has encouraged me to take this leap.

Studying abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it comes with significant costs; any contributions are greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance to all who choose to donate.
