Rosette hadn’t been in Okinawa, Japan long at this point. She didn’t speak Japanese and knew virtually no one. She decided that neither of these things would hold her back. But it’s Okinawa? People speak English? NO. Not in the official government offices and off-base. It is still very much Japan. So Rosette hired a translator.
She still needed a lot of help – lawyers, real estate agents, teachers. She put out a call to the universe (using The Law of Attraction philosophy) and met people who she now calls her angels – who continue to help her to this day. She spent many long and frustrating hours sitting in the dingy halls of government buildings, wading through bureaucratic red tape. Even these hours were used in a way that would later pay off. She struck up conversations with strangers, shared her story, made connections. These newfound friends always knew someone who could help Rosette rent a space for the school, hire teachers and get students through the door. They did this with no strings attached, through the kindness of their hearts. Rosette’s passion – it bordered on crazy – this needs to happen, her heart said – won people over to her (im)possible mission. Dealing with the Board of Education was a frightening experience but as we can see Rosette just doesn’t take no for an answer.
