-Yamato was a Japanese prince of the Yamato dynasty who became the 12th Emperor of Japan.

-In a story of an anime I read called One Piece, Yamato is a daughter of one of the four Yonkos and the strongest creature in the world named Kaido. 

-Kaido traps Yamato in the island they live and wants her to become the next shogun. However, Yamato grows angry of his father and becomes a self-proclaimed Kozuki Oden, a legendary shogun samurai who once fought Kaido to gain control of Wano. 

-Yamato is inspired by Kozuki Oden's story and becomes him in order to follow in his footsteps. 

-In this story, Yamato is said to be a prince that proved himself of remarkable strength, wisdom and courage, and his father loved and appreciated everything about him, the opposite of the anime story I read. 

-Yamato was given numerous tasks to accomplish and he did them all to prove his worth, somewhat similar to what Hercules did for Hara.

-Next story is going to be about a son of a king that must accomplish feats to prove his worth in order to lead the country as the next great leader.

However, this past summer I had a change of heart and changed my major to Pre-Pharmacy in hopes to further my education in pharmacy school. My career goal is to become a head pharmacist for Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. The reason I decided on Pre-Pharmacy rather than Pre-Dental is my hands strangely shake constantly and I decided it’d be best if I did not choose the hand-on surgery route. It is not a serious condition as one can barely even noticed without staring hard at my hands, but I will entrust the field of dentistry to those more qualified. I currently live with six of my friends in a house near campus. My family consists of my mother, step-father, an

(Image Information: Ultimate Vessel for Supreme Diety  https://www.reddit.com/r/NanatsunoTaizai/comments/7ir36v/ultimate_vessel_for_supreme_deity/) In the beginning of time, a big bang created a world split between heaven and hell. Each world was ruled by all-mighty entities; Aura, the goddess angel of heaven, and Amadan, the demon king of hell. For years, the two rulers raged war upon each other, creating chaos for centuries to come. Between the two opposite worlds existed a world of man, who found themselves constantly in the crossfire in the war between heaven and hell.  The two rulers also had children of their own. First born son of Amadan was named, Zaratras, who became the most notorious and feared soldier in the demon king’s army. First born daughter of Aura was named, Yama, who also became the strongest soldier in the army of heavens. Both fought countless days and nights, fighting for a cause created by their parents. However, when they met on the battlefield, it deemed too d
