Hi guys!

Since this is our last time together with an ending video call next week, I wanted to share my great appreciation to all of you! Although this was my first time doing a connection like this while abroad, it was a great experience and so meaningful to get to know you and be reminded what it was like to be in middle school again. I would also like to thank Yager for giving me and you guys the opportunity to connect with each other! WIthout her, this would not be possible.

On top of this, I want you all to know that even if we are ending, your experience will carry on with you for a lifetime. Whether it be to study abroad, travel for fun or even just knowing a culture you would have never known about, this information is very valuable for your next steps as a highschooler and growing human.

Please keep Japan in mind if you ever do decide to travel! It is a beautiful country and has a lot of historical culture. (Make sure to come respectfully, as there are a lot of political problems with tourists disrespecting culture and historical sites.) I hope you guys enjoyed this semester together. I can't wait to share with you the ending farewell video. Thank you for being amazing humans!
