If I Never Moved to America

Do you ever imagine what your life would of been like if something hadn't/had happened?

I do. Can you imagine what I would be like if my parents decided to stay in Japan?

I would probably speak broken English, and dream about visiting California. I would be one of those Japanese tourist who makes the peace sign in every picture. Wouldn't that be strange?

I would also probably be working a blue collar job because I wouldn't have been able to pay for school. Maybe even working at the same plant my parents were working at.

I might not even have ever learned to drive. Japanese people use public transportation most of the time because the streets are very congested. My parents used to take the bus, the train, or ride their bikes everywhere.

I would probably have a very different personality. I may of became a serious person. Maybe I would of became an outgoing person. Who knows, the possibilities are limitless. 

I might have been married with 3 children, living in a tiny apartment. 

What I do know though is that I wouldn't really change the life I have now. I do enjoy the things that come my way, and am looking forward to my future. I don't have very much to complain about (although it may not always seem that way).
