Excitement, hope for the future, and sushi filled the room at the sendoff reception downtown for this year’s newly departing JETs. It was to be the next day that they were spirited away to O’Hare to begin their new chapter of life in Japan on the JET Program.
Also attending the reception were JETAA Chicago President Gabriel Coronado, Treasurer Amber Jackson, Philanthropy Lead Sara Brown, and several JET alumni to wish them well and answer any final questions before the big day. Being there with the group of new JETs and joining in their excitement was amazing and pretty nostalgic, as it reminded us of our own first days on the program.
We wish you the best of times, and we can’t wait to hear your stories when you’re back!
