Tora Sellers Assignment 5

                Frankly, I am still unsure what I would like to do with the rest of my life. In particular, the issue that presses me the most is that of citizenship and residence. Being half Japanese, I must decide by the time I graduate college which country’s citizenship I want to keep, and where I want to spend the rest of my life. In order to do that, I need to first decide what I want to do for a living. Ideally, I want to be in the film industry. I have heard countless times that to be in the film industry, I should move to Los Angeles and learn from the experts. But since finding my national identity is so important, both spiritually and legally, I have decided to graduate high school a semester early and move to Japan for college. But recently, I have begun to seriously consider dropping out of college. I simply don’t see myself in education for much longer. I feel that my time is better spent in the workforce. So I might go to college in Japan for two years, and if I like it, I’ll stay. If not, I could choose to remain an American citizen, move to California, and start the rest of my life making film, which has always been my biggest dream.
