Konichiwa! I will be traveling to Japan as a Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholar to study its educational system and culture from October 1-19, 2006. Feel free to post questions or comments. I will use this as a way to communicate with family, friends, colleagues, and students. I'll try to reply to as many as I can, when I can. The clock below shows you what time it is in Japan....Remember, Japan is 12 hours AHEAD of the United States! They are living in the future!

My adventure has ended....



We had a farewell party tonight and it gave us all a chance to say goodbye. It is hard to believe that the 19 days is ended. I have learned so much about Japan, about children, about teaching, and about myself. I took a huge risk when I applied for this opportunity - then, when I received the award I actually had to go through with it. It was such an emotional rollercoaster for me. I was scared to death - but I did it! So, my thought that has been running through my head the entire time that I have been on this trip is "I dreamed big" (by applying for this chance), "I lived it, learned it, and loved it" (Japan that is).........

So - if you are reading this blog - dream big, and when your dream comes true.....live it, learn it, and love it!

Thank you all for your love and support. I will post one final thought upon my return. I need to process through all of my thoughts and put them down. Thank you all for reading and staying with me - your thoughts and prayers have helped me make it through!

Kip, Charlie, and Thomas - I am coming home!!!!!! I love you guys!

It's true... travel has a funny way of changing your outlook on things that at first seem not to be related at all.
I will take your advice, though. Whenever I feel dangerously close to being timid, I will think of the advantages that lie ahead if you can live with some risk.
