For students considering coming to Japan:⁠
The quarter prior to coming to Japan, I was extremely anxious. I was scared that financial aid would not go through, I was scared that I had not signed up for the next quarter's classes, I was scared that all the work and money I was saving was not going to be worth it, etc. For students considering coming to Japan, I would argue the applications and anticipation of departure are the most stressful parts of the study abroad journey. That being said, there are very few opportunities in life where you are provided with such a high level of structure, protection, and social networks while studying in a different country. Studying abroad is an opportunity of a lifetime, and I consider it to be one of my greatest decisions thus far!⁠
⁠
What have you gained from your time in Japan?⁠
The most meaningful things I have gained are my friendships and newfound perspectives. A personal favorite memory is attempting to climb Mt. Fuji and failing. Reflecting on the climb gave me the opportunity to see where I felt improvements could be made for future endeavors. Deep friendships were also sparked that day, leading to many more memorable adventures, including Yokohama, Sapporo, and Nagoya. My time on the UCEAP program is one of my proudest moments in exploring the range of my independence and character.⁠
⁠
How did your time on UCEAP Japan programs help with where you are now?⁠
UCEAP Japan gave me the opportunity to see different career opportunities available to me that I had no idea about prior. My time volunteering as an assistant English aide at Osawadai elementary was rewarding. It expanded my idea of what I could do in life. I am currently applying to be an English teacher abroad. Meanwhile, I enjoy my work as a school substitute and waitress. In the long run, I hope to share with my students both here and abroad that the greatest limits we face are those we and others impose on ourselves. ⁠
⁠
Challenge those limits. ⁠
