I want to see Japan one day, my best friend and I have plans to visit one day, and to visit Japan I have a strong feeling that learning it will become very helpful as well as I’ve always wanted to learn another language. Hearing someone else speak something that I couldn’t understand makes me want to learn what they are saying. The reason I picked Japanese was because I like to suffer as well as I really enjoy watching anime and from the small (it’s not small it's around 290 hours of total watch time) anime I’ve watched I’ve picked up on some words, from picking up the small about of words has made me want to learn more, little did I know I would have to start with hiragana.

Physicians and surgeons examine patients, obtain medical histories, and order, perform, and interpret diagnostic tests. Physicians often work closely with other healthcare staff including physician assistants, registered nurses, and medical records and health information technicians.

When I first enrolled as a college student at Florida International University, I had a different mindset when it came down to exploring my options. Which were meeting new people, marketing myself, and improving the qualities I lack in.

Until I began researching, attending workshops, listening to my professors, and realizing that it is not about the grades you make, more like the hands you shake.
