Konichiwa! Since blogging the last time, I've moved to Japan, changed grade levels, and had to live in a hotel for three months. Now that I'm all settled, I am so happy to be blogging again. I don't know how these other amazing bloggers do it! After grieving the loss of my mother and overcome with hopelessness, I received an email then a call from a school located on a military base that was interested in hiring me. I couldn't believe it. I'd applied for this position four years prior but kept my application updated each year. I needed a change and this was it. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to teach overseas and to teach military children, at that! What a way to give back, right? So far, my journey has been phenomenal! I've learned basic Japanese greetings, tried soba, and explored Tokyo but what I love most about Japan is the culture. Everyone is so kind, gentle, and respectful. Plus, it's super safe. Here's some cool pics from my adventures so far:
