Motivating post

Hey there, everyone. Last time I said I won’t write about how did I get this opportunity to go to Japan in details, but lately I realised that lot of people consider Japan as some unreachable, magical place. Well, it is magical, in that meaning of the word that once you go there it gets your soul and never let it go. :) But! Not unreachable, not at all! There are no unreachable goals, just insecurities and fear of stepping out of our comfort zone.

In my case: I always wanted to go to Japan, since my high school years. I studied japanese on the university, where I could apply for several scolarship options. But, during my BA years, I didn’t do it. I thought, I’m still young, I’ll have other opportunities later, when I’m ready, my japanese is not that good yet, it’s a totally foreign country, I can’t leave my family here for one year, and such excuses. They were nothing more. Excuses. After graduating, I realised I probably missed my only opportunity, so I applied to MA (masters level of university) just to apply for a scolarship to Japan, it kinda became my obsession. But still, when I finally applied, I had no real hope about the success. So, when the results came out, I was panicking. Did I really want this? Am I ready? Well, I wasn’t, but it didn’t matter.

Stop finding excuses. Go fight for your dreams. Now. You’ll never feel more ready. You have to take the steps, or you just procrastinate to the point where the opportunity is gone... it’s better to regret that you did something, than that you didn’t.

“Okay, but I can’t even speak japanese” Start learning it! You can use Duolingo, Memrise, follow japanese teaching blogs and vlogs, they’re all free! If I could do it, you can do it too!

“Yeah but I’m too old for this” I’m 27 right now. There was a guy on the scolarship, still studying at university, and he was 35 years old. Of course, the younger you are the easier to get scolarships and support, but there is always a way.

“But, but, I’m poor, and have no opportunity at all...” If you really want something, I repeat it, there is always a way. I had a full-time job, 40 hours per week, while doing the university (faculty of law, international relations, so not an easy one). Some people are lucky enough to get financial support from their parents during their studies, but not everyone can afford it. I mean, my family always supported my in every possible ways, and I’m really greatful for that, but when I choosed to have my own life I couldn’t leech off of them anymore. Even with working fulltime, I would probably never have the money for studies abroad. I had to get good grades, to get this scolarship, and then I had to buy my own plane ticket, but everything else (university, accomodation) the japanese government paid for me, plus I got some money for living expenses. I encourage everyone to look actively for the opportunities. Scolarships on the webpage of the local japanese embassy, or on this page: http://www.g-studyinjapan.jasso.go.jp/en/

I really hope I could help, please feel free to contact me if you have any question, I’m honestly happy to help. :) Go!! Fight!! Step out of your freakin’ comfort zone!!

Love and blessing:
