I,
right now in this moment, cannot possibly think of anything more that I could
want before graduation, besides absolute assurance that I am going to be
accepted into the University I would like to attend. Obviously, because I have
not even started studying for college entrance exams, I will not get what I
want. But I can say that my #1 goal
before I graduate high school is to decide for sure which Universities I am
going to apply to and begin studying and preparing for the exams. This to me
like a sad end to my life as an American teenager when I could be having fun
instead…
Before
graduating from college, I’d like to have a little more fun. Because I intend to attend university in
Japan, my nation of birth (however not the nation I was raised in), I would
like to get to know the country which I have only ever visited, this time by being
a semi-permanent resident for the first time since infancy. I would like to explore as much of the country
as I can, and become closer to the friends which I leave behind every two years
upon returning to the United States.
After
this stage of my life is over and I graduate from the University that I
(hopefully) got into by working hard, I don’t intend to immediately enter the
workforce. Why? Because I think that would be a terrible decision. I want to explore the world before I die, and
following graduation from college seems like the optimal time because I would
be young, independent, and lustful for knowledge about the world. Hopefully, during my travels, I will gradually
be able to separate myself from money and technology. I hope to be able to
spend my (hopefully) best year(s) of my life relying only on myself and other
people I meet, instead of relying solely on cash or an iPhone to get whatever I
want.
