| Degrees |
B.A. in English at Mukogawa Women's University, Nishinomiya, Japan
|
My name is Yuko Uehara and I'm from Osaka, Japan. I graduated from Mukogawa University in
2006 with a BA in English. When I was a Mukogawa student, I spent three and a half months
studying English here in Spokane. During that time, I often came to SFCC to have conversations
with American students who were taking Japanese classes. It was a really fun experience
for me to be able to teach the Japanese language, so when I returned to Japan I began to
think about jobs I could get which would allow me to teach Japanese in other countries.
I applied for the assistant teaching position here at SFCC, and fortunately, I got the job.
So, in September of 2006 I returned to Spokane, this time not as a student, but as a teacher.
There are many hobbies I enjoy. For example, I like to travel. I have been to New York,
England, Indonesia and New Caledonia. I also like to listen to music and to sing Kareoke.
I like Japanese pop and rock music and American rock bands such as "Weezer." I'm from
Osaka and this is a famous city for comedy. Because it's so common, I like to watch
"Manzai" a typical Japanese comedy show. Mostly, I love to share Japanese culture with
American students.
