Welcome to my major portfolio
Statement of Purpose
Ever since watching Dotch cooking show I was enthralled with Japanese culture. My father and I stumbled across the show while flipping channels when I was about 12 years old. It was not long before it became a habit for us to sit and watch Dotch Cooking show every week. The first episode we watched was snapping turtle hot pot against anglerfish hot pot. Around the same time friend of mine introduced me to the Bleach manga, and I thought it was amazing. I read a few volumes in shortly after started to watch the anime. I knew I was watching or more anime, and when I entered high school I joined the anime club. After that, all my life I have wanted to live in Japan. Last year I accomplished that studying abroad at Okayama University. When I first came to California State University Monterey Bay. I didn't know what I wanted to do but because my father was in television industry I decided to major in the film. All the while knowing that my goal was to study abroad in Japan. When I realized that my dream of studying abroad in Japan would have meant that I could not take any film courses, I decided it was in my best interests to become a Japanese major. I spent the next year my life fully immersing myself in learning Japanese. Now when I look back upon how far I have come I know I've made the right choice. |
