My Trip to Japan In June of 2015, I took a trip to the island of Okinawa, Japan. I traveled on this resplendent trip to visit my sister, Kristena Yeager. She had lived in Japan for five years at the time. She moved there after she married her husband, Christopher Yeager. He is in the Air Force and has traveled to many places around the world.

I cannot think of another event in my life that could measure up to that trip. It was a great experience, especially as an eighteen year old. There are not many people in this world who would get to experience something like that. So for me at eighteen to be able to go through that, I will be forever grateful to my parents for letting me go. I would someday like to return to this great
