Japan or Bust

Introduction

Hello, my name is Julius Walker and I am a Sophmore at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I entered the University with the goal of studying Japanese and being able to study abroad.After three semesters of learning Japanese and receiving two A's and 1 B I am proud to say that I am able to have the grades required to study abroad at the Nagoya University of Foreign Studies or NUFS. Upon filling out the application in my school's study abroad department and after being accepted I was ecstatic. I know that it will be expensive but I now know that I will need help in order to be able to see the fruits of my labor.
