Support Network of Family

The Fulbright award in Japan is a dream come true, and I am indebted to my grandparents and parents for consistently supporting my academic endeavors. In this photo, my grandparents join me in celebrating my Ph.D. in international education from the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California. I keep this photo with me always as a reminder of who I am and who I strive to be for my own children. I am fortunate to have superb role models.
