Who is Yuto?

Hello

I am the organizer of this blog, and

my name is Yuto

Do you think I'm a freak? If so, you are right.
(Please don't stop reading the rest of this article)

Those snaps are taken when I was a freshman, and my hobby was getting my hair dyed at the time.

I bought the hairdo on Amazon and tried it on. Then…obviously failed.

My friends laughed at me so bad.

Are you getting to know me? Do you think I'm a freak and a party person?

Yes, and No!

I might be a freak, but I'm not a party person.

Now let's get it started.

Yuto is (was)

・A college dropout in my home country (Japan)

・Bullied in junior high and high school and have rejected schooling.

・Hospitalized due to critical mental illness

If I speak to people about my experiences in the past, they always say "You always get into trouble" or something like that.

I have accepted those painful experiences and helped people who are suffering from those events. It's been honored that some people have said "Your talk has saved my life," so I decided to speak out more by writing.

At this point, I have been seeking my American Dream at an American University as an international student.

This is my first time to write on this blog in English, so I briefly introduce myself here.

Who is Yuto?

・Hometown: Hokkaido, Japan.

・Brief life history: I was senior at my previous college, but decided to drop out and seek my bachelor's in Portland. OR.

・Fun Fact1: I like to send my friends pictures of the Haniwa which are clay figures in Japan.

・Fun fuct2: I love coffee since I AM A PORTLANDER. But, I have stopped drinking it since I was critically addicted to caffeine because of school works.

Hobby

・Learning Foreign Languages

I speak Japanese, English, and Mandarin Chinese. I plan to start learning either Russian or Spanish once I get my Mandarin more fluent.

・Analyzing International Affairs

My current interest is in the relationship between China, Russia, and the U.S and also the cyber-wars.

・Writing

I like to produce a post with a long story on Facebook.

・ Napping around the world

My best place to nap is Time Square in NYC.

・My major and minors
: Political Science/ Philosophy/ Chinese

I like to study Politics and go on to grad school to pursue my academic interest in Political Science more. I am considering grad school outside of the U.S (Russia or China)

Personality

I say "Let's party" and "Time to party" a lot. But I say "party" to inspire myself and people around even though it doesn't mean actual parties. I mostly say "party" when I'm doing homework which seems to exist forever.

I think I'm a cheerful person.

I'm glad to say I have a lot of friends from university. My friends often get surprised how many times people say hi to me in a short time and say "everyone seems to know you."

Basically, I like people, so I say hi to them if I want to be friend with them.

I sometimes become stubborn. It's tough for me to fit myself in the social norm and groups of people. (Friend groups are great! I need my friends!)
When I was at a Japanese university, one of the faculties tried to force me to participate in a seminar. Then I opened my mouth and said "What is the legal source of the obligation? I would rather go to study English at the library" Of course, the faculty got really mad at me. (I didn't go to the seminar anyways)

Also, I'm allergic to alcohol and don't like "too excited" party people, so I usually don't go to parties just to get drunk. But I sometimes go and get drunk with coke since I like to get to know new people.

One of my favorite things is learning something new since I am curious about things I don't know. I like to read and google. The more I know something new, the more I also understand what I don't know more, learning something new continually keeps me humble.

For your information, what I have learned today is that kombu (a kind of kelp) doesn't emit umami until they die. So, the ocean isn't tasty.

According to my friends…

"He was once mentally uncontrollable, which makes him very interesting in a good way."

"If he decides something, nobody can change his mind. "

"You won't be a high school teacher in Japan? You don't know how glad I am to hear that!"

"He is a dude that does something stupid seriously."

"Give me your contact! Your life is much more fascinating than movies."

My view of life

I have undergone despairs four times so far and planed "The Game Over of my life" out of two times. So, my life philosophy is "anything is better than that time!" and "My life is simple: going up from the bottom."

One of my purposes to set up the blog is to help people who are in despairs by speaking about my experiences. I have suffered from critical mental illnesses. Some people have criticized me for talking about them on SNS. Admittedly, it's not fun to see experience mental illness, but I still think it's vital to speak out those experiences.

I believe if you think posting your cup of coffee for a day is acceptable on SNS, there is no reason to reject someone's despairing experiences or struggle on SNS as well.

I hope to create a society where anyone can openly talk about them.

My dream

My dream is to establish my own university and make Education in Japan better.

I haven't completed nor got a teaching license, but I'm confident.
(My strong point is "confidence without sources")

I focus on English and global education in Japan.

In Japan, most of all citizens study English for 6 years, and it's even common to attend English school when they are kids, but cannot hold decent conversations on English.

Doesn't it sound weird? I started questioning myself why and wondering how I can make it better.

At this point, I have been recruiting my partners and got a female student from my previous college who is doing her master's in Taiwan.

I will start my online school after completing my bachelor's and purchase the estate to establish the physical school once I earned money enough at the same time as I am doing my master's.

I don't like to call my dream business since I believe education shouldn't be business.

Japanese people have ridden on the social norm like a train that only follows laid rails. The society used to work in that way when Japan was experiencing its bubble economy. But, now the economy is no longer that strong, and shamefully Japan has one of the highest suicide rates around the world.

I will be the one to break the rail that doesn't lead us to happiness and challenge present Japanese society. Education is the last resource to rescue us.

The conclusion of the article

Did you like my article? My life is so crazy everything I'm doing seems to be challenging and fantastic. I am pretty sure happiness, and confidence that I have got now is based on my tragic experiences. I will show parts of my life to prove" we can do it" even though we are not talented, we are dropouts, we suffer from tragic life events.

Thanks
