If no one Believes in you, Believe in Yourself.
I still remember when I was a kid, I really loved Japan's Culture, and because of this as I grew up I started to think if I wanted to visit Japan or rather Live in Japan, and of course I was still a kid. When I turned 18 I told my Parents that I'll be taking the course Foreign languages as my first course In college, they thought I was messing around but I told them again that I wanted to study Foreign languages, they got angry. They lectured me like a freaking 6 years old who stole a candy.

Days came fast and it was already the time I'll be going to college, and of course my course is Foreign language but I didn't told my parents, only my brother knew because we were in the same school. I started to learn basic Japanese, day by day, until the next day was graduation day. For 4 semester I avoided telling my parents that I took Foreign Languages, I thought that it was the right time to tell them when I was going to graduate University. But I never knew what was going to happened.

The college graduation day is a day where parents would be proud because of their children graduating to the second level of life, but it wasn't for me. My parents greeted my teacher in language and they started to talk about me and etc. Once their finished talking my teacher told them to go and wait in the Graduation hall, but once they were going to the graduation hall I saw my own father looked at me with a. disappointed face.

My teacher talked to me and told me about that my parents were really surprised and disappointed to me, they never really thought I was going to take Foreign language.

But there was no turning back, I'm already here. I told myself.

Then one by one the names of the graduates are being called until they reached my name.

I stood proud and went towards the huge stage and accepted my certificate and then I realized that, my parents weren't by my side, I was a little but shocked that they wouldn't attend the stage because of my course. As I descend, I started to look for my parents and I couldn't find them, maybe they already went home. I thought.

After the graduation party, I hastily went home without taking any stops. I went inside my house and found my parents in the living room, sitting and I thought to myself that they weren't that angry.

'Go to your room' my father suddenly said to me.

I followed his instruction like a lifeless zombie, I went to my room upstairs and entered. Entering my room I realized that my things were packed?

I went downstairs and asked my parents why as my things packed and they said it was already the time I moved out from our home.

I thought they were just joking, until my mother told me that she created a bank account for me that contains almost 10,000$.

I started to retaliate, I started to ask questions after another. In the end there's nothing to do, I took my bag and left the house smashing the front door.

After leaving the house, I started to think where would I sleep the night. I thought to myself that I would stay in a hotel, but that would cost a lot.
I only got 9,500.1$

So I called my teacher in Foreign language and told her my situation and she agreed to take me in her house, she's already married. When I got to her house, as I meet her husband he started to laugh and ask my various questions about nonsense.

The other day, my teacher's husband asked me to come with him. And since I wasn't going to do anyway I followed him, we entered his car and he started to drive.

After a few Hours or rather minutes we stopped and parked in a parking lot and we got off the car. I asked him where we are? and he just casually answered that this place is my first office.

I was surprised hearing his statement, but I wasn't to let this opportunity to go away so I accepted the job, the job is being a translator to a tourist guide, and since it was my profession I accepted it. At first it was a hard but as day keep going by, I became more adapted to to the job.

12/27/18 My birthday, it was just as the same day I have in my teacher's house. We were celebrating my birthday, I considered them as my second parents, who they gave me a new home and job. We were happy, and then I was receiving my gift from Mr. and after him came my teacher, she gifted me with a warm hug and and a shocking statement.

'You're going to Japan'

As I heard her statement, my emotions that's been kept closed suddenly flashed in. I couldn't control my emotions, I could only do was cry and saying thanks to them.

The day came it was my flight to Japan, excited yet worried. Both my teacher and her husband accompanied me to the airport, it was quite emotion even though we aren't blood related or etc. I thanked them for their warm hands that accepted me.
