Now that I am home I am sharing my experience with everyone I can, whether I‘m giving a presentation, or just having a conversation. As for my project, I am going to try to help my school find a greener alternative to the Styrofoam trays they often serve in the cafeteria at lunch. It was an experience I will never forget, and always appreciate. I learned a lot of lessons during my time in the program. And if you are ever considering going to Japan, I highly recommend it!
