Or in other words, "Hello, nice to meet you! I look forward to working with you!" My name is Dornu Nornubari Inene, a U.S citizen born in Lakewood, Colorado. And if you have read that first sentence, then you have just learned how to properly greet someone in Japanese! If it wasn't obvious from my introduction, I'm a fan of Japanese literature and media. All that means is that I enjoy reading Japanese books(Light Novels) and watching Japanese cartoons (Anime and yes, you can keep watching cartoons when you're an adult, but don't tell anybody). Outside of that, I study Computer Science at Colorado School of Mines, where I learn about how computers work on a deep level. I also enjoy doing physical activities like lifting weights, calisthenics(push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, if it has an up in it, then I do them), and obstacle courses where your athleticism(think of how good you are at running in PE) and mental strength(imagine how you felt taking a test or surprised quiz) are pushed through demanding trials. I decided to go abroad to get out of my comfort zone, start developing international connections, and ultimately grow through the new relationships and life experiences I hope to see outside of the U.S.
