Thank you all so much. I'm taking my learning of Mandarin seriously now. I'm using three programs, Fluenz, RocketLanguages, and my friends. I believe that it's an important language to learn and respect. I'm learning Pinyin right now, but I aspire to learn the characters as well.
I know I'm repeating myself here, but thank you to all of you. A few weeks ago, I lost my job, and although it was difficult for me to handle at first, I realized that it was actually a blessing. My former job was leading me nowhere. I worked at a mental health clinic and it was making me depressed and anxious. Ironic, eh? I also didn't agree with the organization's practices and the demands were too high just to make a profit. Unfortunately, I got the short end of the stick, and I was an easy target for them to let go. I'm thankful I'm out of that place.
Now it's time for me to move forward. I'm originally from New York City, and I don't have any family in California, except for a couple of friends. I'm excited about this new chance, and I aspire to improve in my language skills and learning from other people's language and culture.
I'm open to the adventure wherever it takes me and my Petit Livre. Hey, you never know, I might publish something one day. I'm glad to share my brief story with all of you. You guys are wonderful, and I'll keep you updated.
