Just Do It!

When I first moved to Japan I imagined all of my students would be motivated to learn English, their level would be high and we would talk about world politics and debate cultures and society. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case and even on a good day “How are you?” can be challenging for some of them.

However, since moving to high school you get the odd student who takes a chance and has the courage to come and talk. One of them is Yusaku; the student who went to America on an exchange program. Today we talked over the Japanese education system, the possibility of him moving to America to go to university and his future plans to become a politician and turn Japan on its head!

Fun times – I just hope he does it!
