Here’s to a Hopeful 2019!

Takahashi-sensei here! Omedeto!

Happy New Year one and all! 2018 has come and gone and now we enter 2019.

For me, personally, 2018 has been one of the best years of my life. The themes of which are opportunity and earning respect. Opportunity does not strike often at my home of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, especially with the job market in shambles. The biggest one of all was the 2026 Winter Olympics bid, which unfortunately more than 50 percent dissed. But it was a time for me to show everyone how talented I can be, even without a degree. (tuition prices ain’t going down anytime soon!) I had even begun this website, dedicated to my exploits in creating I.P.’s happiness into everyone’s lives. Though it’s only half a year old, I’ve already ammased just over 1 thousand hits from not just Canada or my neighbor to the south, but places I thought it’d never be big in; the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Finland, India, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand! Unfortunately, none came from Japan, a country which I adore dearly, and where I wish to base my career path in.

My spirits are now at an all-time high. Let’s hope things stay that way from here on in!
