I went to school in the US and Japan. Japan gave me a sense of community, but the US taught me to have my own opinions.

• For six years I lived with my grandparents in Okinawa for a couple of months. 
• I learned so much about music when I was in school in Japan. 
• I think a mix of both educational systems would be ideal. 

For six years of my early life, I had the fortune of partaking in a unique educational journey that spanned two countries, giving me a bicultural perspective of public school systems in Japan and the United States.
