Soooo where we are going?
FUKUOKA, JAPAN!!
I was scrolling through TikTok and a Black artist who lives in Japan posted about this program called GHJ International that was accepting applications for a 6 week, Fall 2025 Teaching Practicum Program.
In-person teaching experience? ✅ Housing? ✅ Food? ✅
Downsides are that I wouldn't get paid and I wouldn't be able to work but seeing as I have wanted to go to Japan FOR YEARS, have wanted to be a language teacher FOR YEARS, and the current state of the world is making me feel like a lot of things are Now or Never, I decided to apply immediately.
That was on 8/28 and the application closed 8/31. I interviewed with the program on 8/31, got accepted 9/5, and I'll be flying out the 17th!
