Fountain of Youth.

Being here for almost 5 years has been much more meaningful than just working in another country. I've also learned about new cultures and different ways to live my life.

My life now feels more meaningful and I feel like part of the local and global community.
Being able to teach the future of Japan about my own cultural background will hopefully make a difference on them as well in the future and encourage them to study or work abroad as well. The friends and family I've met here has been life-changing and ill never forget the experiences I've had here.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience than being an ALT in Japan. As I continue to learn from the students, teachers and locals on a daily basis, I always try to keep an open-minded mentality and positive outlook on life.

I now live a much healthier lifestyle here as well and always get compliments of how better i look from people I knew in my home country. They always say that I've " found a fountain of youth". That alone lets me know that I made the right choice to live and work abroad.
