| Introduction | The first impression of me might be Latino; however, my nationality is Japanese. In fact I am a mixed heritage of an Asian-Indian father and a Japanese mother. I was born and raised in Japan for 18years, so my first language is Japanese. I moved to Lebanon, Oregon with my mother who married a local Lebanon man in April of 2005. I went to East-Linn Christian Academy School in Lebanon, Oregon where I was exposed to deal with the unfamiliar language English and started taking English course for non-speakers at LBCC for nearly 2 years. After completing English course, I started taking some academic classes such as math, writing and reading. While taking general classes and searching for what degree I want to go for a long time, I decided to major in Journalism. Because I have a great interest in politics and international affairs, I acknowledged that a career as a journalist would fit my curious personality and constantly wondering mind. I hope to graduate within the next year or two and wish to transfer to 4-year university. I am also planning on moving back to Japan in the future and become a great Pacific Islander journalist. |
