Since tomorrow I will fly to Indonesia with my niece. It is the first time for her to go abroad. I will support her to have the first wonderful trip. At first, I supposed that I would take her to Bali to feel sightseeing hot spot, but her mother said to me she did not need to go to sightseeing area. It is a kind of study trip!!! OK, This mean I should be a teacher for her. Before I have stayed in Indonesia for 3  years, so I can speak Indonesian little bit. I need to pay attention to the safety life there especially a child. One is food poisoning, the other one is a dengue fever.  Therefore, I have told her how to protect herself from those dangers. This trip must be challenging to her because no parents, different weather and culture and some infectious diseases. My purpose of this journey is that she wants to come back to Indonesia in future. I do not know soon or later or nothing, but hopefully we can spend there without problems and seeing her big smile many times. This trip must be challenging to me also as a uncle and nurse.

Regarding Japanese Yogo teacher.(school nurse)

 I would like to mention about a Japanese Yogo teacher which is the same as "school nurse" in America and other European countries. What are the differences between the yogo teacher and school nurse? The most impressive job contents of the yogo teacher is to give an educational approach to students. A yogo teacher gives an injured student an educational knowledge, attitude and behavior to prevent the same accidents. Some students have a tendency to be disappointed with their wound. A yogo teacher encourages the student to have a confidence to him or herself. Additionally, a yogo teacher shares the cause of common accidents to other teachers and related people to pay attention to the accident prevention. Amazingly, those job contents are systematized by low. Thus, yogo teachers give an injured student a first aid, mental support and coordination to other staff to improve the environmental safety.

 These days, some students from elementally school to university have mentally problems, and a yogo teacher is expected to work as a main staff to take care of those by giving counseling to themselves and making arrangement to see counselors.

Higher education costs are rising!!

Escalating cost of higher education is causing many to question whether it is worthwhile to continue education beyond highschool. The opprtunity cost of tuition to choose college is over fulltime employment. Additionally, accumulating thousands of dollors of dept causes people wonder its investment which is valuable or not.The risk is especially large for low-income families who have a difficult time making ends meet, and do not want the additional burden of college tuition and other fees.

There is evidence that the rate of return on investment is high enough to justify a lot of the cost of higher education fee. College graduates earn more differential variesover time which never disappear compared to highschool graduates.
