Last year was a crazy one and I plan on filling you in on it (little by little). In that time, I have experienced both amazing highs and horrible lows. I have been broken and built back up. These experiences have changed me in ways that I can't even begin to describe (though, I will try).
When I first came to Japan I was scared, bewildered, excited, and naive... I guess I'm still all of those things, yet, I am different somehow. I've learned so much but still feel like I know so little. That may sound negative, but it is very much a good thing. Sometimes, it's important to recognize how little we truly know. It can be humbling and scary not knowing all the answers, but that is how real learning begins. I am a full time teacher yet Japan continues to teach me (wether I want it to or not). I came to Japan as a tourist, became a teacher, and was made a student.
Originally, I wrote this blog to show family and friends a country they may never get to experience (see: really lame YouTube videos in previous posts). While that is something I still hope to deliver, it's not all I want to accomplish. I have been to many vastly different places and met people from all walks of life. I revived this seemingly dead blog to tell you about those people and places. I want you to gain something from my experiences, and I want to grow and learn with you.
