      Saturday, January 31, 2009 | Posted by Jay

      日本に行って、留学生になるのプログラムに入ったから今、その理由（りゆう）がよく考えていた。この旅行の為に（ために）、私は大事な理由がみっつある。 一つ、一人で住んでいる見て見たいんだ。私は大学に入ったから今まで、ずっとずっと家にすんで、家から学校に行って、家族は私に手伝っていた。これは悪くないんだけど。ただ、「私は自分で何かできる？」と思っていた。もし、一人で外国に行ったり、毎日自分の食べ物を料理したり、自分の服（ふく）を洗濯したり、一人で働くて、自分のお金自分の部屋（へや）を払ったり（はらったり）すれば、「私はもっといい人になるかも」と考えている。将来（しょうらい）に、私は一人で住んでいる。それは事実だ。だから、今から習って、練習（れんしゅう）したいんだ。

      二番。日本の国はアメリカより、コンピューターのことをもっと上手になったと聞いていたんだ。私はそのことをずっと興味があって、毎日コンピューターやインタネットを使っている。それで、働くの時もよく使っている。だから、日本に行って、「ほかにの人はこのモダンテクノロジで何かできる」と見て見たいんだ。

      三番。もちろん、このサイトを見てれば、もうわかっているんだが、私はアニメや日本のことがすごく好きなんだ。まだ見たことがないんだが、日本人のことを少し聞いたことがある。日本人たちは丁寧（ていねい）がある。知らない人や家族、誰（だれ）でも、いつも丁寧があるんだ。

      それで、その国の社長（しゃちょう）たちの息子たちは一番下の仕事をして、社長さんは「よし、ビジネスや仕事のことをよく勉強したね。私に付け回って（つけまわって）」と言う。そして、息子さんは一番うえの社長になる。これは事実とかわからん。でもね、去年、私は日本の東京から来て、留学生にウェッブデザーインを七か月ぐらい教えたんだ。名前はコヤさんだった。毎日、クラスの前でよく勉強して、いつもたくさんいい質問（しつもん）があったんだ。少しびっくりした。こんなすてきな学生があまり見たことがなかったんだ。日本人たちはたいていそんなすごい人かと、見て見たいんだ。


      Translation! :) Three Reasons Since entering the study abroad program to Japan, I've been thinking a lot about the reasons for going. I've come up with three of them.

      First, I want to see what it's like to live on my own. I've always always been living at home, commuting to school from home, and I've always had a family to support me. These aren't bad things to have. However, I want to see what I can do by myself. If I do something like go to a foreign country on my own, cook for myself everyday, do my own laundry, pay for my own room with money that I earned myself, I think I might be able to become a better person. In the future, I will live on my own. This is reality. Therefore, I want to learn and practice from now on.

      Second. I've heard that Japan's computer technology has become much better than that in the U.S. I happen to be really into that stuff, and I use the computer and internet everyday in life and at work. Therefore, I'd like to see what other people can do with modern technology.

      Third. Of course, after seeing this site, you probably already know that I'm really into anime and Japanese culture. I haven't seen it for myself, but I've heard some things about the Japanese. The Japanese people are polite. Whether it's people they don't know or members of their family...whoever it is, they're always polite.

      Also, the sons of the presidents of companies in that country work at the lowest position in the company until the president decides that they have studied enough business and gained enough work experience to follow in their footsteps. I don't know if this is true or not. However, last year, I taught an international student from Tokyo, Japan in a webdesign class. Everyday he studied hard before class, and he always had many good questions to ask. I was a little surprised. It was rare to see such a dedicated student. I'd like to see for myself if Japanese people are really that good.

      It sounds like a really interesting experience to come. When do you start?

      I wish I had the ability to do that, but for the moment, I don't think I'm quite financially there to essentially move out of the country. That and leaving family. I've baby stepped my way in the sense that I know that family is only about 2 hours away by bus for me... I can tell you that living on your own is definitely a different experience.

      Too bad my Japanese knowledge level isn't quite where you're at (I only get by with listening to a few terms.... not fluent at all for me~)

      I certainly hope it will be a different experience ( :
      I leave at the end of March, and will be there for about a semester.
