What a month it has been. I honestly couldn't fit all the ups & downs in this video, but hopefully you can get a sense of some the obstacles you may (or may not) face when moving to Japan through the JET Program! I know a lot of incoming JETs have been riding this rollercoaster trying to enter Japan, from the stress of postponed departure dates to getting here and being thrust into a new environment and expected to just know what to do. You aren't alone in that!

I am incredibly fortunate to have the placement that I have and be supported by so many wonderful people.
