All about my Interests

Technically, the first time I realized that I liked design was in my freshmen year of high school. I was taking AP biology and although it would have made sense for me to hate the class for its difficulty, I actually looked forward to it. That was when I realized that I actually enjoyed learning about the creation of things in general, or maybe I am just a work-a-holic.

Some other things that contributed to my interest was when I played poly bridge, a game about building bridges, and when I had a competition with my friend, both involving video games. When I was playing poly bridge, I was challenged with very difficult puzzles that tested my creativity and management of resources. I thought it was really fun and it sparked my interest in engineering. Then my friend challenged me to create a game in roblox better than his, which moved my interest over to design. i spent hours without stopping only modelling since I didn't know how to code at the time. After just 3 days, I had created a very large map, although not very detailed, and I was very proud of it. I didn't realize it until recently, but my interest was exclusive to video games.

In my sophmore intro-computer science class, I enjoyed myself a lot, but when the final project came, i had the most fun. I was tasked to create a game or something cool, and, naturally, I chose to make a game. At first, I wasn't very motivated, but after coming up with the game, I started investing a lot of time into it. I would add mechanics or fix bugs on my free time instead of actually playing games. By the time I had finished the game, I felt very proud because I thought it actually qualified as an enjoyable game. This solidified game design and game developing as a main interest of mine.
