13. Modification in year 2013
• Original plan was to invite 2 ULM students for one
semester
• The plan was shortened into 3 months
• The scholarship was awarded only for the program in which invited
students stay in Japan for more than one semester.
• The plan was shortened into 6 weeks
– This change was made to ensure the mental safety of the
ULM student
– She showed an strong stress reaction in the morning of the
first day in an elementary school of Japan
– Dr. Kim and I had an online meeting on the next day
