I appeared on the back cover of what I believe is the Ashikaga International Association newsletter(?). Anyway it's called Symphony and it gives the public what it wants, in depth interviews with John Milito. That's all I need to know.
I wasn't given much instruction on what I was supposed to write about, so I just whipped up something general.
Greetings from Fukui-cho,
My name is John Milito and I am the ALT at Yamabe Junior High School. This is my second year teaching in Ashikaga, and what a great time it has been. I've met lots of interesting people and done plenty of memorable things.
This year, I have two goals. The first is to develop my Japanese language ability. Someday I hope to reach fluency. In addition, I want to pursue one of my interests: travel. Living in Japan makes traveling to other countries in Asia fast and inexpensive. I hope to explore more of the world before I return home.
Thank you, Ashikaga, for this opportunity.
Sincerely,
John Milito
Reading it now doesn't exactly fill me with pride, but I did what I was asked.
Over the past few weeks I have done lessons with elementary school kids at 5 or 6 different schools. Last year I only did a lesson at one, so I was a bit surprised by the increase. The kids are really cute and fun so I really enjoyed the experience.

My friend Sam recommended a fun little online geography game to me. It's called Globetrotter XL. Check it out here.
