I was able to go to Japan in order to study abroad and teach English because of the financial aid provided by the Benjamin A. Gilman International scholarship. Because of this scholarship I was able to fulfill my dreams of going to Japan to learn Japanese and about Japans culture. While I was there, I taught English to Japanese children, however I also informed my students on how they could also go abroad and follow their dreams. I taught my students about other countries and cultures, and how everyone has an opportunity to go to school in other places in the world. I told my students about financial aid, getting a part time job and saving their money, and scholarships like the Benjamin A. Gilman International scholarship.
The school I chose to teach at was an International Pre-school that had an English emersion program. The students and parents of these students at this school were all interested in learning English and going abroad some day. I became friends with many of the students parents in order to promote the Benjamin A. Gilman International scholarship. After class I would explain to parents how I got to Japan on a scholarship and how they could do the same for their children. I also talked to my coworkers who came from all over the world, they were interested in continuing their education with English.
Teaching my students and their parents of the benefits of applying for the Benjamin A. Gilman International scholarship in order to continue their English language learning was my goal at Skye International pre-school.
