I have a tendency to ramble, so let's make this more blunt: I have had an interest and passion for languages since an early age. Upon closer inspection and experience I've realized that I chose not to pursue it as a career because of a lack of support. No one ever really gave me much recognition. Those four years I tackled Japanese and received excellence awards...I was proud of myself, but not many people engaged me in conversation over it. I gleamed whenever someone showed interest or praised me, but otherwise I usually had to deal with types who dismissed me as nothing more than a geek.
And yet.
It may seem arrogant, but really it's normal to desire recognition...it makes an individual feel more accomplished and confident. Therefore, it is because of the encouragement I've received lately that I've decided to pick up the reins again and head onto a new path.
Always impulse. Why not?
My plan? Not too many specifics yet. I talked to an advisor and switched majors. I plan to most likely minor in Japanese and my major thus far is undecided although it could be English. After obtaining a Bachelor's at least, I will become involved in the JET program with my friend. Don't know what it is? Look it up.
I still feel like I'm rambling.
Oh well, in a nutshell that's life for now.
Cheers.
