Please help me fund my dream of visiting Japan. I am interested in Japanese design, history, way of life, and technology but most of all I would love to practice the language I have been studying . I am in 8th grade attending Japanese 3 at my local high school. I have taken Japanese since I was in the 6th grade and am now attending high school for my studies. Currently I am in the top 5 percent of my class and I'm still in middle school. Its been a dream of mine to actually experience this land for myself. However I have a single mother and a trip like this is not within our means. I would go to Japan to further my education in Japanese culture and history. Places I would love to visit include Meiji Jingu, Yoyogi Park, The Edo-Tokyo Museum, and the Tokyo National Museum. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated. Thank for your consideration.
