Dat Schooling

In high school, all that I thought about was when the next assignment is due and who I will take to the next dance. The mere thought of graduating was just a goal. It could never become a reality. The light at the end of the tunnel was always in view, but I never thought that I could actually reach it. Now that I am at the cusp of graduation  all I can think about are all of the people that I will likely never see again, and how their role in my life shaped me into the person that I am today. One person in particular contributed more that some of the others did.

In fact he had shaped how I perceive what being a nerd is all about. I do some what consider my self a nerd. I get almost all of the gaming, internet, and computing jokes that nerds share. Although, this is not what I think makes a nerd. He showed me that a nerd is often socially awkward and can make all the mistakes that a normal person would. You do not have to be a genius to be a nerd. You might even only excel at few subjects. Yet, you must have the wherewithal to separate your self from others and devote a great deal of time to your nerd kingdom. Seeing as most people in college are like this, having these experiences will really help me with social situations with my collective brethren.

Since, over our high school careers, we had collected our brethren into a group, we made our skills useful. We made a giant project that we all were passionately interested in. This new video game would leap to the top of the charts and be everything that we wished that the games we already played would be, so we thought. Now, with our Legal Liability Company pending and our trip to a well recognized gaming expo on coming up soon, we have actually done just that. His contributions in particular have surmounted what each single member has done. This impressive drive has helped me learn valuable leadership skills. I now organize most of our undertakings. For example, our trip to Salt Fest on the ninth of the next month. I have booked the hotel and now am planing the development booth. Being the co founder of such an ambitious undertaking has also lead me to find my calling in college

Through our great projects, he has shown me my interest and value in programming and design. Before this, I had thought that maybe I want to be some sort of doctor. The medical field had looked pretty tasty, with its good wages and growing employment opportunities  And who wouldn't want to be one of Dr. House's assistance looking for a cure to some impossible patient. Although programming was not on any T.V. show like House was, I thought that it was just as entertaining. I made circuits and programs work together, much like a human body's blood and thoughts. But the deal maker was that I didn't have to worry about killing anyone, having lawsuits, and deal with nasty smells or bodily functions. In programming, I found that I could play operation on my computers and still feel the same sense of accomplishment as a surgeon that just saved a person's life.

Now that I have a solid interest to guide me through college, a company that just might make me some money, leader ships skills that could run a business, and a nerd kingdom, I thank my good friend Clayton Walters for giving me a high school experience to be proud of.
