8th Annual Career Seminar

I wanted to express my appreciation for allowing me to be of service and say a few words at this year's career seminar. I guess this means I've finally grown up. I wasn't one of the young people in the audience this time. I was one the of old guys speaking. Akishamiyoo!

I also enjoyed the appreciation dinner at Cherrystone's restaurant and the karaoke that followed. The food was delicious and I never realized we had so many talented board members and friends.

I hope others will step forward and volunteer their knowledge and experience to help the young Okinawans. Although I felt I had little to offer, I was warmly received and talked to a few people afterwards who were just finishing school or looking for a career change. They seemed genuinely interested in what I had to share. I was glad that my contribution, however small, was of value to some in attendance that day.

Thanks again. It was a very enjoyable and rewarding experience and I'll encourage others to participate next year.
