This might sound funny, but I never thought I will get this far. I never thought I will come so close to the college graduation. Sure, I have 2 more months left to go. Still, I think I can almost see the goal. I'm almost there. To be honest, I didn't even think I would pursue more education after high school. I never even thought I would finish high school. Well, not from a school in a different country for sure. But somehow I have managed to handle them.
If I were to describe my parents, there is no word better than "ordinary". My mom had some health issue after giving birth to me, so I never got to have siblings. Bummer. So I was pretty much her "only shot". Both my dad and mom had really high expectations as all parents do for their children. I never really knew why. I still don't know why. I mean, that's something parents should do. But other than that, why really?
Growing up in Japan was probably one of the most unique things about my life. I was a good student both iniside and outside the classroom. I always got good grades. I never had to try. Then, one day, I started playing sports. Mainly, basketball. It took a lot of time away from me and I slowly walked away from studying too. Not that I started disliking it, but sports were just much more enjoyable. I'm sure everyone can relate to that.
Once I got to Junior High. Everything literally fell apart. I was a decent basketball player in town but I had problems with my teammates. So I hated basketball. My grades dropped dramatically. During the 3 years of Junior High(we go to junior high for 3 years in Japan), nothing went right. I have never shared this story with anyone, and I don't think that many people will read this so I'm just gonna throw it out, but those 3 years the time I want to forget and erase more than anything.
I still don't know why I had to go through those three years. Heck, I don't know most of the things I go through in my life. I'm kind of the guy who follows instincts. Risky, I know. But it's just the way I have been living my life.
I don't know how I got here. I don't know how I know you. I don't know how I'm gonna make my plan after college.
But one thing I do know for sure, is that there is God. He is somehow leading where I should be going. Why? well, I guess that's something what he does. Because I sure don't deserve anything from him. Ironic.
God, what's next?
