My Landscape of Learning

After two weeks of volunteer teaching in Cusco, Peru I hiked up Machu Picchu. This was my view. This is my inspiration for the landscape of learning.

I was accepted into a Japanese Exchange Student Program and boarded a plane to Japan with a cohort of eleven other high school students from across the state of Delaware.

I felt insecure, nervous, and a sense of loneliness. And I imagined that this is what some students from other countries or cultures must feel like when they attend a school in America that doesn't have a diverse community. I was fortunate that Ryo spoke English pretty well and was able to translate for me whenever I would ...
