Why is a Washington State Education important to me? Washington State has been my dream college for as long as I can remember. It has been my family's primary college choice for generations, which I inherited from two notable Washington State alumni. These two people are my Uncle Tony Grafton and Grandfather Donald Grafton, both of whom helped raise me as a Cougar. At the time of my birth, my uncle was attending WSU.

My career choices have changed during the past couple years, everything is now pointing towards marketing. I like conversing with people. It doesn’t matter if it’s my best friend or the cashier at Bass Pro Shops, I’ll strike up a conversation with them. I find communications easy and know how to relate to a variety of people. Regardless of who they are. Marketing is just an extension of that. In marketing you appeal to a person’s emotions and wants so they will buy a product. You just need to find out how to do that. I am very interested in domestic and international marketing. My father was born and raised in Japan and I have traveled there many times. Furthermore, I had a life changing experience when I was accepted for an opportunity to study abroad by Portland State University in 2012. I was selected and spent the summer studying in China with the Hon Bon Bridge Summer Camp, who organized the trip. I learned more by traveling to China than I could ever learn in books. I got to see the difference between Communism to democracy, as well as how a Communist-Socialist government operates. I saw different demographics and economics while touring China. I learned some mandarin Chinese language, culture, and history. It made me realize how connected the world is today with not only the internet, but international business. I feel marketing has a lot of global potential.

I learned new concepts such as positive purchases, and the positivity of local purchases on our economy. I was able to self-reflect a great deal, as I became aware that I could be making much more positive decisions in terms of my food choices, but I was not.

I learned about the vegan options on campus, as well as the local produce food shops around Hamilton.
