Harvard Workshop at ASIJ

Item Description
On 3/11, I was in my schools library located in downtown Tokyo. In the moment it didn't seem like a big deal to me because I had grown up in Tokyo, experiencing lots of earthquakes; however, none of them had ever been that big. Yet, I was still not very scared. I remember the teacher telling us to all get under the table as the books began falling off of the shelves. Some of my classmates were crying once the tsunami warning came. The aftershocks were worse than the main earthquake itself. At the time I was in 4th grade. When I was in 5th grade, I went on a trip to Sendai (linked pictures) to visit schools and memorials. While we were there, we also got the opportunity to interview people who experienced the earthquake/tsunami and understand their perspectives.
