Hi, I’m a 15-year-old high school freshman from the United States, currently building a life centered around discipline, faith, and a deep-seated respect for Japanese culture. I’m a firm believer in the "student for life" mentality, whether I’m studying a complex language, mastering a new game, or refining my physical health. The Path to Japan & Professional Translation My ultimate goal is to relocate to Japan, a dream that I have been actively pursuing for over a year through dedicated Japanese language study. While my love for the country started with its media, my professional sights are set on the corporate world. I am working toward a career in high-level translation and interpretation, specifically aiming to facilitate live meetings and cross-cultural business deals. I find the nuance of language fascinating and love the challenge of ensuring that complex ideas are communicated perfectly between companies and consumers. Digital Worlds & Narrative As an "absolute nerd," I’ve always found a home in gaming and anime. However, my tastes lean toward depth and emotion: Gaming: I primarily play story-driven titles and anime games. My PS5 setup is the centerpiece of my room, kept strictly minimalist and clean alongside my Amazon TV and speakers to ensure focus and immersion. Anime: I’m a self-confessed romance anime addict. I’m drawn to the character growth and the emotional storytelling found in the genre, which often serves as a great motivator for my language studies. Mind, Body, and Minimalism I strive for a balanced lifestyle that honors my Christian faith and my physical well-being. I am a minimalist by choice, preferring a clean, clutter-free environment that reflects my headspace. Fitness: I hit the gym with a specific goal in mind: maintaining an athletic and agile physique. I want to be functional and fast, balancing strength with flexibility. Mindfulness: Daily meditation helps me stay grounded and focused amidst the chaos of high school. The Ritual: No day is complete without tea. While I’m a huge fan of matcha, finding high-quality ceremonial grade in the US can be a challenge. In the meantime, I’ve become quite the enthusiast for blending different green teas to find the perfect flavor profile. I’m here to document my journey from a US freshman to a future professional in Tokyo. Thanks for stopping by!
