Joining SHE likes: What will happen to me in half a year?

May 2021
I've decided to challenge myself with something new.

This is one of my goals during my gap year,
related to the goal of
"acquiring skills that I can confidently say I can do."
I...

I joined SHE likes!

"A career school where you can find a way of working that is uniquely you."
SHE likes. Perhaps some of you have seen the logo
in Instagram posts or elsewhere??

SHE has a vision of
"creating a world where each individual can demonstrate their unique value
and live with passion,"
and it is a company that supports people
who are taking on challenges to live in their own way.

SHE likes is one part of that business.
It is a program that is like a school for careers + coaching,
where you can learn a wide range of creative skills,
including PC skills like Web design.

I've heard that after graduating, some people have changed jobs and increased their annual income by 1 million yen,
or started a side job and are earning 300,000 yen
per month...!

Why I'm joining SHE likes "now"

The reason I decided to join SHE at this timing
is because I wanted skills that I could confidently say I can do.
And, because I want to be able to earn money wherever I am.
Of course, even thinking about my long life,

I thought creative skills
would be necessary, but
in the nearer future,
that is, when I think about studying abroad,
these skills are even more important, and if I study abroad...

・I won't be able to work a part-time job

Securing study timeI probably won't find one right away, at least

・Lack of social experience
Less time for part-time work than being a student in Japan= I won't be able to learn about society
I thought it would be possible to compensate for these two disadvantages.
So, I also thought that if I acquire these skills, I might be able to be happier.

To fulfill the goals of
"acquiring skills that I can confidently say I can do"
and "living happily in the environment I like,"
I am going to run with SHE likes.

After all, I love writing

Out of the many options,
for now, I am thinking of studying
with a focus on the Web design and writer courses.
I thought Web design

was something I should have, no matter which future I imagine for myself right now.
As for the writer course,
I thought I could make use of the feeling of

"I really do love writing" that I felt
while continuing to spin words on note like this.
Right now, I
only write about my feelings and thoughts,

and honestly, I don't really think about writing easy-to-understand notes.
(This isn't something someone who says 'check it out' should say, lol)
I'm not good at introducing things
or writing concise sentences that anyone can understand.
In fact, I'm often told that the character count of my notes

is abnormal, lol.
A writer translates to 'a person who writes',
but depending on 'what' you write,
I think the way you cook the words
changes quite a bit.

So, I want to know about those ways of cooking
and the world of writing that I'm not good at.
And I want to do it until it becomes my job.
No, I will do it!!

Photography, video editing, marketing...
There are just too many things I'm interested in,
I want to take them all (hey),

but if I do that,
everything will end up half-baked,
and I don't think it suits my personality,
so I'll stop.
Maybe just as a hobby...? lol

Maybe I shouldn't say this,
but this is something I'm doing by spending money that is by no means cheap.
Actually, ever since I found out about it about a year ago,
it's something I've thought, 'I definitely want to do this!'
I'm going to give it my all.

Without fearing change

The declaration of determination I wrote here
is just for the current me.
I'm sure I'll keep changing from now on,
and I think there's a future where what I said in this article
will be retracted as 'I guess I was wrong after all.'
But... I've started to think lately that that's okay.

I don't dislike the version of myself that tries to do everything perfectly from the start,
and I'd like to be that way if I could, but I'm tired.

It's time to

admit the version of me that can't do things and doesn't know things

and keep changing.First, I have a coaching session,so I'm going to decide on a concrete vision there.I'll add an update once my first goal
is clearly decided.

Well then. Oh my, sincerely yours.
