msrynn: WHO AM I?

Hello everyone!
Before receiving Professor Giano's assignment to create a blog, I actually created one about a year ago. I initially made one to follow other bloggers but totally failed at it. As you may or may not be able to see that I only follow two bloggers!

Anyways, who am I? I am a Japanese girl born and raised by a Christian family in Hilo, Hawaii. I moved to Oahu at 18 to attend UH Manoa. I knew I did not want to stay in small Hilo town. Like many other college students, I was thrown into college mainly because "it was the thing to do". Because I took many science and health related courses at my high school I figured that I was going to do the same in college. So I was like okay, I'll be a nurse. Why not? It's a great profession with great financial stability. But class after class, I dragged my feet back and forth feeling like a zombie. I was not enjoying school at all. I was so confused because I heard that college is where you find your calling and where you learn to THRIVE. Not happy at all, I decided to take the semester off and do something I am interested while thinking about what Manoa can offer me to run after my dreams.

Last semester I attended a vocational school, Makana Esthetics Wellness Academy. At that school I was educated on skincare and preserving one's natural beauty. After compiling 600 hours worth of training I took my test and became a licensed professional. I feel so accomplished and proud of myself. While at Makana a voice told me that I should go back to Manoa and pursue a career in television broadcasting. It's something I've always thought about and have done most of my life back on the Big Island. So why not? I enjoy the camera and current events. So this is where I am right now. Taking Communications 201 in pursuit of a BA in Communications. Still unsure if this is my true calling; I can say this for sure, I am enjoying my classes much more than before and is finding school enjoyable again.

With this blog, I will share something that has grabbed my attention each week! I hope you guys will enjoy my "new" blog. Here is a recent video I have watched. Religious or not, I think everyone should watch this video. :)
