After I moved in with my dad to start at a new school my Sophomore year, I had the opportunity to take Japanese, and was going to, until m dad told me it was a waste of my time, and I should take Spanish since many Americans speak Spanish. He told me it would help me to get a job better, when i told him I wanted to do Graphic design and that I didn't want to learn Spanish he got mad at me. Even after one of his close friends told him that I should be learning Japanese, bc it would be useful if I did persue a career in GD, he still forced me to take Spanish. It wasn't until recently that, now that I'm a senior, and going to a school that doesn't offer Japanese, has he accepted my new career choice (Teaching English in Japan.) and tried helping me to learn Japanese, even getting me pc programs similar to Rosetta Stone.
