Welcome to my CSUMB Major E-portfolio
When I first started my journey through college at San Joaquin Delta College(SJDC) I was an engineering major. The engineering department there was very good, and the professors were amazing. While working on that I began taking the beginner Japanese language courses offered there as transfer requirements for another university. I became very interested in the Japanese language and culture and took all the courses available at SJDC while continuing my engineering major. I obtained an AA degree in Japanese language through SJDC and became the TA for the Japanese professor there for a couple semesters. In 2012 my father died and I became deeply depressed and lost all motivation to continue school and dropped out in 2014 before transferring to a 4 year institute. I slowly recovered and thought hard about what I wanted to do in life and realized the thing that I really enjoyed the most during my time at SJDC was the time I spent helping teach the Japanese class so I decided to switch my Major to Japanese language and began my journey at CSUMB in 2017.
