Why are you interested in Japan?
I am an education major and I am going to be doing some observations of the schools and how culture plays a part in Japanese education. I am also fascinated by the history of Japan. I am also interested in learning Japanese as a second language, and this trip to Japan will give me firsthand experience with speaking Japanese.
What are you most looking forward to experiencing/learning in Japan?
I have never been abroad, so the group travel dynamic is going to be very exciting. I specifically look forward to Japanese culture and speaking a different language.
What is your favorite sushi or Japanese food?
Sushi is my favorite food and Unagi(eel on rice) is my favorite style of sushi.
Please share a metaphysical quote or idea that will help you in preparation for and participation on this program:
I have been working with the expression of Joy recently. Specifically, finding the sense of happiness that is not false. The Joy and Love that God gives which is expressed through me is the only thing that will seed true happiness. On the abroad I will strive to express this Love and Joy so that the abroad will not experience a false temporal sense of happiness which animal magnetism could potentially turn into fear. Mrs Eddy goes into this in her article entitles Love thine Enemies in Miscellaneous Writings.
