Former @sbhsvt student Will Bradley recently wrote to Sinyoung Evans who he took Japanese with for 2 years. He has been in Japan the past month with other SBHS alums Noah Robertson, Gio Stazi and Rowan Nenninger visiting Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima. They also climbed Mt Fuji. He wrote to Evan Sensei, “Japan is a beautiful country, and I am grateful to have taken your class because the 2 years of Japanese has helped me communicate and get around and it inspired me to come visit Japan and now, I plan to study abroad here for college!” Thanks for sharing these pictures Will! Glad you are using what you learned from Evans Sensei and having a terrific summer! A great reminder of the importance of foreign language studies and the strong impact our teachers have on our students.
