Through her determination and a fortunate set of circumstances, Dr.

Buffy Bennett from Philadelphia earned three degrees, including a

doctorate in educational leadership. She and her husband, Terrell, are

shining examples for their children as they pursue their goals with

dedication, integrity, and character. Buffy and Terrell's relationship

began in college, and she fondly recalls their courtship. However, once

Terrell joined the US Navy, Buffy humbly acknowledges that the early

years of their marriage were challenging as they navigated the

complexities of building a family while adjusting to life in Puerto

Rico. The Bennetts have called Japan home since 2004.
