“American Samurai” cross the sea. Suddenly he appeared before us. He talked to us with funny Japanese like a samurai. He is Matt Dusenbury, a student of Montana State University (MSU). He was interested in Japan because he admired discipline of Samurai. When he was 7 years old, he read history book and knew samurai. He thinks his personality is like Japanese to respect discipline. He started studying Japanese in Tasmania, Australia in 2003. He studied Japanese in MSU for 1 year and half. His major is land rehabilitation. He will graduate from school next July and teach English in Japan. His family was originally from Holland. He was born in Billings, Montana, and grew up there until 10 years old. But he moved and came back Montana frequently because of his father’s work. Then he stayed in Nevada for 3years, in Arizona for 2 years, in Alaska for 3 years. Finally came to Bozeman. He spent in Arizona in his junior high school days. The education level was very low in the community he lived in. Other students didn’t know what he knew. But he left Arizona 2 years and moved to Anchorage. He graduated from high school in Anchorage. He entered University of Alaska in Fairbanks (UAF). He finished his study there only within 3years. His major in UAF is Natural Resources Management especially Plant, Animal soil sciences. He studied very well. His GPA was 4.0, perfect score. University of environment course was excellent. He said that the Score of the school was 10 out of 10. However, he did not enter the graduate school in UAF. In the United States, it is conventional to change school to broaden the view. This thought is not familiar with Japanese, because it is comparatively common to enter the same graduate school. Apart from anything else He decided to enter MSU. Before entering MSU, he went to Tasmania, Australia to study entomology for 4 months. It was good experience for him to broaden his view and get credentials. He entered MSU 3 years ago. His major is land rehabilitation. It aims to prepare the land to become normal condition or useful again. This major can choose only in MSU or University of Wisconsin. He planed to graduate from within 2 years, because of faculty problem he had to waste 1 year. While he studied in UAF, he made many Comedy and documentary. In many cases, he was director and actor. He leaded to organize film festival which was held twice a year. The film festival was in great success, tickets were always sold out. I wonder why he did not become a movie director or actor. Actually, he took the interview of film making major before entering MSU, but rejected. His interviewer pointed out that his brain is too logical, not suit the art but the scientist. Therefore, he decided to study in MSU, and film making should consider a hobby. He plans to get a PhD and to work for military or mining company to rehab the damage from oil or acid or salt. He will teach English in Kofu, Japan from next July. He wants to do several things such as climbing Mt. Fuji which is the highest mountain in Japan, visiting the Golden temple, a huge statue of Buddha, and Hokkaido. His experiences in Japan broaden definitely his field of view. He and I are looking forward to meeting together in Japan next year. |
