In a nutshell, I have spent my 20s chasing this dream of being a career woman, finding financial stability and independence. I'm still figuring out what I want to do with my life, but all I know is that I love helping others and want to travel more, especially in the beautiful country of Japan. JET is something that has always been in the back of my mind, but I have now got to a point where I am sick of the 'rat race', I don't enjoy my job, life in the UK is miserable and I need a change.
I have visited the country twice in the last two years and absolutely fell in love with the place. I love learning languages and different cultures. I worked as an English language assistant when I was at university back in 2014 and really enjoyed it. I am struggling with sections of the SOP focussing on the reason for application and life after JET. Is anyone else in a similar position? Could you give some advice on what would be best to write? I've spent the last ten years worrying about the future and what will I do, I now just want to take one step at a time, take every opportunity I can, and see where that path takes me.
**EDIT**: Thank you so, so much everyone! You've been so helpful and I really appreciate all the advice. I've written up my first draft now. Would anyone be able to read it and give some feedback please?
