自己紹介(じこしょうかい) - Self Introduction!!! ~Introducing Danté Barton~

 Hello, readers!  I am excited to welcome you to my blog journey (I'm new to blogging but I'll do my best!!!). I'm a Computer Science student with an interest in a.i technology, mobile software engineering and a learner of Japanese. In this first initial blog, I will explain a little about my interests, passions, topics I want to talk about, aspirations, and just daily slices of life as a comp. sci student navigating school and work life.

        As mentioned earlier I am a Computer Science student with experience in the mobile development field and a passion for the Japanese language. I often spend time reading short stories (both in English and Japanese), listening to music, hiking, exploring, playing sports, or representing and bringing my true self to a networking event. I love bringing people together and forming bridges for opportunities, whether it's a casual coffee chat, a large group dinner, or a relaxing hangout at home. My next goal in life after completing my studies is to travel as much as possible and experience new cultures, and my hope is to share those experiences with you all here. 

        In this chapter of life, I've had the amazing privilege of meeting many amazing people and experiencing a variety of networking events, cultures, and foods. In everyday life, we meet people from different walks of life who have their own experiences and their own stories to tell and every day these stories become intertwined to one another and create a net that forms bonds some for a season and others that can transcend generations. In this recent summer, I spent time working with my university's orientation team and I can definitely say I've grown personally and professionally from this experience. I made multiple connections and made friends that I can relate to from sharing multiple similarities to discussing and enlightening each other about our cultural differences. My roommate from this experience was an awesome guy, we both hit it off and set a couple of ground rules but we grew to respect each other and formed a bond that'll carry into the new semester. My second highlight from this experience was my friend I call "Picasso", her cute doodles and sketches that she'd do throughout the day and often on sticky notes which she'll hand out to everyone as cute surprises (I'll share it with you all here!!! :) ). 

    At this point, I'll be wrapping up my intro to the vast world and I'll do so first by shouting out my chief editor (finally agreed!!!) and also shouting out an amazing person I got to meet this summer from Brazil 🇧🇷. I'm a huge fan of anime and sometimes I'll hear quotes that are pretty inspiring or captivating or sometimes I'll be reading a novel and see a line that catches my attention so I'll close off my entries each time with a quote of how I'm feeling at the time. I'll catch you in the next one!!! さよなら👋

"We are all like fireworks: We climb, we shine and always go our separate ways and become further apart. But even when that time comes, let's not disappear like a firework and continue to shine... forever."
