<div>Hi, my name is Junior. I'm a Senior in High School, graduating this year in May 2025. I'm an animator and artist, and have been learning Japanese for almost 4 years. I have been learning about Japanese culture in the USA but have not experienced the culture itself in it's own country. I have worked hard on my school life and taken challenging classes in order to make myself proud of how far I've come.

<div>With my <strong>Senior Graduation</strong> coming in Spring 2026, I have been offered to fly to <strong>Japan </strong>to experience Japanese culture both in the city and in school. I will be going to a Japanese school for a week, as well as visit historical sights and major cities. This would be an incredible experience for me, learning more about the culture and the language that I wish to master. I have been wanting to go to Japan ever since I was in middle school, just to experience the school and city life there.

<div>While I have been offered this grand trip, unfortunately the costs have stood in my way. The total cost is in total <strong>$4,710</strong>, needing at least a <strong>$1400 deposit by December 31.</strong> My dad has worked tirelessly as an elementary teacher, but funding the trip himself with 3 children to take care of is not enough. I have worked hard throughout my school year, taking classes that have pushed me to my limits. Covering the cost of this trip would be impossible without any help.

<div>The Japan trip offering has been the most special to me, wanting to learn more about the culture that I wish to know more about. This is the only offer that I will be able to get to experience school in Japan, which I've visioned of. Being able to experience a <strong>life-changing trip</strong> would help me grow and learn more about Japan. This would be the most incredible journey that I would get to go on, to grow, to learn, and to be me in a country I wish to go to.
</div>
<div><strong>Please help me achieve this opportunity in order to visit my dream destination.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>ありがとうございました！</strong>
