| General: | My name is Julie, but at the moment I'm known at Jurie or Judy. I'm a one of the youngest Rotary Youth Exchange Student in Kochi, Japan. I never expected to get Japan, but now that I'm here I can't imagine anywhere else in the world. I really love it here, even if it is a bit strange at time. |

| Favorite People: | It's difficult to distinguish who my favorite people are. I think everyone I have ever met has given me something to take from and learn about. From someone I meet for 2 minutes on a ski lift, to someone who has watched me grow and loved me in all the bad times and good times. I think my favorite people in this world are those that have taught me something about the world. My family, friends, teachers, host families, and anyone I have ever passed in a fleeting glance. |

| Plans for the Future: | I change my mind everyday, and I have time to keep coming on here and telling the world about them. When I get back, I'm going to finish High School and graduate from Verona High School. Then I'm taking a Gap Year. I'm thinking about studying abroad as an exchange student... again. But I'm keeping all of my options open. One day I want to go to San Diego State University and study History and Japanese. But one thing I am totally sure about: I'll be back in Japan. It's not a question of if, but when. |
