Why I Went to the US. -Ep. 1- (僕がアメリカに行ったわけ)
For today's post, I'll talk about the reason why I decided to go to the US.
5-year-old me...
I still clearly remember the first day of visiting the US.
I was only five years old.
At LAX, the airport in Los Angeles, my family and I were right about to pass the customs.
Then I saw my parents speaking English to the staff person which I didn't even recognize what kind of language they were speaking.
I only understood that it was anything but Japanese.
That scene tremendously shocked me, but it looked so cool to me, too.
Instantly I was driven to have desire for becoming an English speaker.
This was what happened to me at the age of five.
The first setback...
It happened when I was five as well.
I had been interested in English since I was little, but I also had a feeling at the same time like "I would never be able to speak English" because I knew nothing about English then.
The feeling easily discouraged me from learning English because I had no idea what to do to make it real.
So I planned that I would let my future children learn English from an early age so that I could ask them to teach me English when they grew up
So I didn't start anything to meet the desire.
Instead, I tried to forget it.
Now I know this was ridiculous.
But that was my first setback for sure.
To be continued....
