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 Big Moment Continued....


Well, my speech went very well. Everyone complimented me on a job well done. I gave the speech during our meeting with the City Treasurer and the Superintendent of schools. We were in a fancy city office sitting around a large wooden table. I kind of felt like I was talking to the President of the United States. I was not nervous at all! I would read a sentence, and then an interpreter would read it in Japanese. I taped a little clip on my camera. I will be happy to show it to anyone who wants to see it! It was a big moment and I felt very honored. Who would have thought that I would have ever done anything like this?
