Conflict

I’m going to move to Tokyo at the end of March, but my parents and even my grandparents are opposed to it. They say the company seems shady and I am not smart enough to understand programming. I know it takes time to acquire the skills in programming and the industry is getting more competitive. But I want to try to work in the industry to catch up on the latest trends of technology and to get a decent salary. I am planning to take another job interview within a few days. By the way, the classes at the elementary school will be cancelled starting from next Tuesday. The teachers have to go to school but I have a lot of time to think about what to do for the next school year. I hope the virus won’t have a big influence on my job hunting as well.

Backup Plan

I got accepted by a company in Tokyo and I am planning to move to the capital city at the end of March. But my parents strongly oppose my plan saying “the company seems skeptical” and “you are not smart enough to understand programming.” They don’t know anything about the company and programming, but they send me texts to make me quit the plan. I don’t have any other options in mind besides going to Tokyo. I think it’s impossible to persuade them for me to work for the company, so I’m looking for another IT company in Tokyo. I hope to start my new life this April without being worried about the relationships within my family.

Optimist

Articles on newspapers are mostly about the virus these days. I am sick of reading such articles because I see that the number of the patients increases every day. I think about something fun besides the horrifying news. This school year ends in a month and a new fiscal year starts from April. I will not be continuing my current job anymore, so my new life will start shortly. I got accepted by a company in Tokyo but I am still worried about if it’s a good option to go to the company. In any case, I will try to make the best decision as of the moment for the exciting next fiscal year.

Opposition

I passed the interviews at a company in Tokyo and I am going to move to Tokyo this March to work for the company as a programmer. For a couple of months, I will be studying programming at the company being paid and, after that, I will be starting to work for a company as a contractor doing programming. However, my parents strongly oppose my plan of going to Tokyo. They say that you should stay in the current prefecture and they say that I’m not smart enough to understand programming. I don’t have any other reasonable options besides being a programmer. I will prepare for my relocation despite their strong opposition.

Pixar

I watched movies with DVD, “Up” and ”Ratatouille”, in the morning yesterday. Both of them were made by Disney and Pixar. One of my American friends recommended me to watch them and I rented DVDs last Friday. Both of them had heart-warming stories. Both movies depicted the importance of friendship and people who are self-centered reached to bad endings. The animations themselves were really beautiful and I felt like watching live-action movies. I haven’t watched movies that many so far, but my American friends kindly recommended me many movies. I want to watch them and learn new worlds of movies and English expressions. 

Turning Point

Every time I hang out with my American friends, I come to think that I want to live abroad. I want to immerse myself in a different culture. In Canada for example. Although I will move to Tokyo next month to start a new job, it is just a passing point. My goal is to live in an English speaking country and to improve my English skills more. Finally, I will go back to teaching English to elementary school students. Programming jobs are very competitive and the skill is needed around the world. I will pursue my dreams in life by overcoming hardships.

My Idol

I attended a party last night which was held for celebrating the leader of our tennis group. He turned to be 70 years old, so we gathered to say thank you for his activities so far. He plays tennis well and other than that he knows anything about anything. Therefore, I like to talk with them. I want to be an adult like him who is smart. I'll keep in touch with him and try to be more friendly and knowledgeable.
