@cherie.brooke: Best experience of my life. I fulfilled Stanford MBA international requirement by living and working on a Japanese matcha farm last summer. Yes it fulfilled a requirement but it actually changed me as a person. 1️⃣ deepened my love for Japanese culture 2️⃣ realized I want to have children - yes, this is related to the small family farm I worked on and I saw their beautiful family dynamic every single day and I’m like omg I think I want that now (because I never really KNEW KNEW before) 3️⃣ engaged my interest in historic town community revival 4️⃣ quadrupled my love for matcha and tea, seeing where it’s grown, how it’s cultivated, and the science of the entire industry 5️⃣ helped with my language learning ☺️ #womeninbusiness #womenempowerment #mbalife #mbastudent #corporate #mbastudents #womeninstem #womenintech #student #businessschool #japan #japantravel #japantrip #matcha
