Winner’s Comment

“My name is Tiaishia (Tia), and I am from North Carolina. In addition to my work in educational initiatives, I currently tutor Japanese families and support cross-cultural learning.

I am truly excited to have won tickets to Japan. I look forward to visiting my friend Chiho, whom I have not seen in over 10 years, and meeting her daughter in person for the first time.

I sincerely appreciate everything JASNC does to foster cultural exchange between North Carolina and Japan, and I am grateful to be part of such a vibrant community. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year!”
