Being an ALT is what you make of it.

I love my schools and my students. I have been so lucky to remain in the same board of education for 3 years and have formed a community in my area. Outside of my regular schools I have had the opportunity to participate in all kinds of events around the Kanto area and experience all kinds of schools. It is important to make an effort when given opportunities. Make sure to talk to your coworkers and students when given the chance because if you don't start the conversation it won't start! Life is about what you make it. Interac gives you the door, but it's your job to open it.
