only compulsory until ninth grade ("Schools"). Some other unique aspect about the Japanese schooling system would be that to get into high school students need to pass entrance exams and the school year is divided into trimesters of fifteen to sixteen weeks instead of two or four semesters ("Academic Year and Academic Calendar"). In high school students do not change classes, but different teachers come in to teach a different subject. To graduate from high school the requirements are two…

Acquiring an international placement is a major goal of mine. It would present me with an invaluable opportunity to cultivate unique skills needed for a future career in the international social work field. This prompts me to pursue the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees’ Community-Based Protection Unit (UNHCR CBP) Geneva, Switzerland placement and the Church’s Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA) internship in Chennai, India. The UNHCR CBP placement is my top choice however, for several…

One of my biggest dreams was to travel and meet with new people of different cultures, nationalities, and opinions, in hopes that our diversities will not only change and improve each other but also the world. The most significant challenge, which was the first step to toward my biggest dream, was becoming an exchange student through Future Leaders Exchange Program (FLEX). This opportunity gave me a chance to spend one year in America in the state of Wisconsin, study in an American high school…

Being a Korean-American, I am put in a box, made for other people to push me in. This has not only suppressed my confidence in sharing my heritage, but has also scared me that I would be generalized in a negative manner. Surprisingly, I have not met a single person who has asked me what ethnicity I am before assuming that I am Chinese. This happened a lot in my…

increase the student 's motivation and drive to succeed. After a few weeks of discussion among the teachers, who all wanted to do the best thing possible for their students, it was time to take their program to the administration. The Micro Committee knew there would be some push back, because there is always resistance to change and new ideas, but they made a presentation for the administrators and planned to answer any and all…

Reading has always been a part of my life. Starting from a young child all the way up to where I am now I can remember many different ways reading has impacted my life. For some people reading is what they did to pass the time, but for me it has always been different. Being a small child I did not enjoy the outdoors in the same sense other children did. When I went outside I wanted to sit by a tree and read a book instead of run around and play on the playset. As I got older nothing really…
