Hello, My name is Dana Bedolla. It's nice to meet you. Konnichi wa. Watashi wa Bedolla, Dana to iimasu. Hajimemashite. I am currently in the process of changing career paths, and in doing so I am also learning Japanese to make the change easier. I originally wanted to own a restaurant, however found that my true passion lies in teaching. With this in mind I have re-joined the academic community at Grand Canyon University. My first goal is to obtain my Bachelor of Arts degree in English for Secondary Education. Upon completion of the Bachelor course work I will go into the Master's program for T.E.S.O.L. What I enjoy most about attending classes is the fact that you are never to old to learn something new and challenge yourself to change direction when life becomes stagnant. As Henry Ford stated "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young." I wholeheartedly agree with this mind set and intend to constantly learn whether in a classroom, on-line, or from life itself.
