One day I found a Babel University Professional School of Translation (BUPST) advertisement recruiting new students in a magazine I\u2019d picked up at a restaurant. Since childhood, I\u2019ve always loved books and writing! Intrigued by the ad, I checked out BUPST\u2019s website as soon as I got home. The mission and work of a translator BUPST provided on its website perfectly matched what I had been harboring in my heart as wanting to do during my lifetime and what I had been aiming towards. Indeed, translation was work that would employ all I had experienced and learned up to that point; my upbringing, moving to Hawaii, communication with others in English, and other interactions where I\u2019d experienced the richness and difficulties of communicating in English and Japanese. So, without a second thought, I took BUPST\u2019s entrance exam. As a result, I was able to enroll at BUPST and given a chance to study translation, for which I am so thankful. <\/p>\n
I chose BUPST for several reasons. First, the learning content is in-depth, and courses are high quality. Also, a counselor is assigned to each student to provide assistance through graduation. What\u2019s particularly reassuring is that BUPST\u2019s program is pragmatic and enables to students receive comprehensive support all the way to finding employment. What\u2019s more, all courses are online making it possible to study from anywhere in the world. There\u2019s no time lost commuting, making it possible to devote limited time each day to what\u2019s truly important. You don\u2019t have to worry about having to lose time if, for example, you\u2019re already working, want to spend time with your children or your children suddenly become ill, or taking care of aging parents. What\u2019s ideal is that you can fit your learning into your schedule, simultaneously studying while managing other commitments. I\u2019m confident that this type of learning style, which meets the various needs of students, is the vanguard of learning in the future. <\/p>\n
My goal is to become a literary translator, using my time at BUPST to the fullest to learn both Japanese and English and the history\/culture surrounding those languages. I also plan to sharpen my translation skills to provide comprehensive translation of exceptional quality. I want to cherish my encounters with various literary works, employing words when translating that touch the hearts of readers. Since I\u2019m fortunate to live in Hawaii, I plan to be on the lookout for literary works written by local authors.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
