Leaving the practice of law to become a teacher is a decision that continues to reaffirm itself. One affirmation is being picked as a participant in the JFMF Teacher Program.
I originated this blog in mid November 2005 with the hopes of being picked as a Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholar. On March 22 I received a letter stating that I had been accepted into the Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program and was going to Japan in June 2006!
Since then, I've been steadily getting ready for the trip - planning ahead for my absence at school, buying needed items, and listening to Japanese lessons on my iPod Nano. I am honored and humbled by this opportunity and cannot wait to share the experience with my students and others who will follow me virtually on this blog as I travel in Japan.

Hello! I will be joining you as a fellow JFMFer in Japan. I'm sure you're just as excited as I am. Enjoy your time until then.
