Japan has had a special place in my heart since I was a small child. 
Now that I am in college, I am working on a degree in Japanese studies. Going abroad would truly bring everything home and resonate everything that I have studied and learned about from childhood to now in my mid-20s full circle. 

Being able to experience the culture and use the language in its home country would mean the world to me, and give me the real world experience that I need for my future career abroad in Japan.
