From the sweet and tender age of five, I took an interest in a culture very unfamiliar and different to my own and while most kids my age were watching SpongeBob Square pants and playing with Barbie’s I chose to learn Japanese. Through this educational journey, I was able to embrace the language, the culture and the lifestyle of the Japanese. I dreamt my whole life to travel to Japan, walk among the people and conversing fluently. Once in college, I knew I could strive to make my dream a reality. I have majored in International Business with a minor in the Japanese language. I have completed Beginning Japanese 1 and 2, Intermediate Japanese 1 and 2, World civilization: Japan to gain more knowledge on the origin and history of the Japanese culture and most recently I have completed Japanese culture through film to embrace the Japanese's interest in entertainment and media. With the support of my sensei, Yuki Sigler Fujiwara she sponsored this trip and now I am requesting monetary assistance great or small to help me fulfill this educational course requirement. This course will fulfill the dream of that five year old to visit: Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka and Hiroshima.
