Essay Writing Contest Winner

Monica M., a Grade 10 student, has International student Yuka O. to thank for inspiring her! Monica and Yuka became friends when Yuka arrived from Japan last year. As Yuka's time in Canada and at John Taylor was drawing to a close, the girls promised to keep in touch. That is when Yuka gave Monica the idea to study in another country. Yuka returned to Japan, but before she left she gave Monica information from her sponsoring agency, Global Partners. The rest was up to Monica. She decided to apply for a full 5 month scholarship essay writing contest. The only tricky part was one essay was to be written in Japanese. 
Monica submitted her essay in English and in Japanese. Her submission was selected and she is off to study in Japan next year. Congratulations Monica, we wish you all the best!
