Hello family and friends! I have created this GoFundMe with the purpose of raising some money for a trip to Japan. I acquired this trip by applying for a $1,000 scholarship through a non-profit organization called CIEE. Japan is one of its most competed-for locations, so I am grateful to have gotten this scholarship from them! I'll be headed to Tokyo for their Japanese Language and Culture program, so I'll have a chance to experience and learn Japan's culture and language firsthand while engaging in productive and educational activities. Although I won this scholarship, I still have a long way to go in terms of funding for this trip, and I would really appreciate some help with it. I will also be working very hard and saving money from my part-time job to save money for my trip. Every dollar counts, and no amount is too small. Thank you all so much!
