Hello! I'd like to ask for some advise on my SOP. Ive seen some folks already ask on here so I already have idea but I'm just having trouble picking a direction.
The reason ive chosen Japan is honestly the quality of life. I'm from the southern US, we don't have public transport, walkable areas or, honestly, safety lol I've also chosen Japan because I'm a massive marine biology nerd, I love the ocean and plan to do self study on coastal insects if I go. But also, I just love teaching and am so curious to experience teaching in another country. I'm currently a teacher here in the states and I have a huge desire to learn about Japanese schooling culture.
(I don't mean for any of this to come off as shallow or thoughtless. I genuinely have been preparing myself to move to japan for a few years now and have done my research. This is not some last minute or thoughtless decision)
How would go about this in my SOP? Or should I scrap all of this and come at it from a new angle?
