Thank you so very much for your generosity and stewardship towards my study abroad experience. Without the JBSD Foundation Career/Culture Hybrid Program Scholarship I would not have been able to attend such an amazing study abroad program. Traveling to Japan has changed my entire outlook on life and taught me to appreciate the small aspects in life that much more. It has taught me that people can have such differing views on the world, and how beautiful it is to hear that new perspective. I have learned about such a deep culture that is rooted in Japan and appreciate the country immensely because of that. Thank you again for your generosity and giving me the opportunity to go on the study abroad. I will not forget what I have learned on this trip and will live a life open and ready to experience new experiences.

Yours Truly,
