Life as I knew it was about to change and I could not assimilate it. Change seemed like the end of a perfect world. When I moved into the new house the smell was unrecognizable‚ the environment was somber and insipid. School felt strange and I felt everyone staring at me as a strange specimen from a lab.

catches people off-guard‚ especially given that I wasn’t born in Japan and neither of my parents are Japanese. In Japan‚ I attended the American School in Japan (ASIJ)‚ a select‚ highly diverse international school an hour from downtown Tokyo.

don’t need your parents anymore. My version of scraped knees was struggling with bullying and an anxiety disorder manifesting itself because of it. I could write an essay talking about my high school achievements‚ whether it be my accomplishments in sports or in the classroom‚ but that wouldn’t show how I got to the point that I am at today.
