Personal Narrative: A Career In Game Design

Four, maybe five German soldiers surrounded me. They were moving in faster than a pack of starving wolves, and I was their downed prey. There were flying bullets, dark smoke, and explosions everywhere. I was oppressed and knew that this was finally it. All my hard work was about to disappear into a plume of smoke. I commenced raising my rifle, and then in the midst of this chaotic scene there was this ever so subtle giggle over the headset. I look upwards dumbfounded to see a firestorm of bombs hailing all around me, and enveloping my entire section of the battlefield obliterating everything. It was my brother Chase piloting this monstrous desert-sand colored beast of a bomber, which just unleashed utter devastation on the opposing

Over the past week my class and I have completed surveys that are supposed to tell us what careers, we are best fitted for based on our qualities and our flaws. The first survey we did was on paper and was called Career Cluster Interest Survey, there were 16 boxes and in each

For this research report I was asked to complete two surveys. These surveys were important because they helped me understand what type of career I would enjoy based on my interests and my personality. The first survey I took was the Career

My career cluster is Eligibility Interviewers and Government. What they all have in common is about law, math, and science. They deal with customer service, administrative service, algebra, and law and government. They have to communicate by speaking. They also have to listen to people’s problems and try to solve them.

Admittedly, receiving my Myers-Briggs report I felt a little disheartened from the result. When I observed to the career report I saw a flood of occupations I had never before considered or even knew existed but despite that I decided to look into them.

Based on my survey results I have learned that I want to have a career where I work with technology. The survey was important because it pointed out the direction that I am headed in. It also tells me that some of my strengths are working with technology involving math and science. It also points out to me some of my weaknesses that I need to work on like interpreting, reading, and following directions and figuring out what the directions are asking for. The top career that the survey picked for me was Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In this career, I would be planning and managing scientific research. The second career choice that the survey picked for me was Information Technology. In this career, I would be designing and developing softwares and hardware. I agree with the results of the survey because even though I have several strengths I still have things I could get better at. I also agree with the survey because the top careers that the survey picked for me were the career clusters that I thought I would get in the beginning.

My goals for the remainder of my high school career is to maintain my GPA, but also get myself more involved socially and physically active.

I will need to spend a maximum total of 7 years in college to prepare for my upcoming career as a General Practitioner. I must go away to college in order to complete my education. My family is saving money for my college tuition and have been since i was a baby. I do not think i have a plan in place for me at the current moment.

The life of a videogame designer is not all glamorous. Expect to work long hours, especially towards the end of the project. The average hours a week are around 40 hours and $28 an hour. In 1999, the average videogame designer made $35,000-$75,000 a year. The future of videogame design is looking great. The interest of video games is raising, and a lot bolder audience plays them. Video games have outgrown many other industries in a short period of time, and have already become a multi-billion dollar industry and rising.

Last summer I was working as a game operator at the San Diego County in Del Mar, California. I was working at a game where participants would try to toss whiffle balls on to different colored goblets. Each color coincided with a type of prize so the more rewarding colors were more spread out and inconveniently placed. I was working this job for approximately a month and I enjoyed everyday of it. I was working in the sunny yet refreshing land of Del Mar, I would get to eat all the deep fried fair food I wanted on my break, and I would get to meet people from all walks of life.

I played text game first time ever in my life today and feel really confusing at the beginning. Fortunately, I learned computer science last semester and understand some of the concepts of the game, not so, I would not be able to play the games.

There was only seven people on the team to show but the game was eleven verses eleven. (The white lines were barling visible on the grass that still remained on that mud infested field.)(The barley white lines were impossible to see on the mud and grass covered field.)(The sun shown brightly on the uneven mud enveloped field that was before me.) Even though so few of us came we still did our normal routine of stretching and jogging. While we were stretching every one counted to ten but I counted to fifteen just to be all stretched out I was also the only one who was willing to do the sitting stretches. When it was finally time to play couch broke us up into positions Jenna was the goalie; Caroline, Megan ,and I were defence like usual; ________and

For most of my life two things have puzzled my mind: how lines of code in a computer make a video game run and how and why the universe works like it does. It is almost the time when I need to decide what I want to spend the rest of life doing, and because of my curiosity about video games and the universe, I have narrowed my search down to a lead video game programmer or an astronomer. Even though both careers require adroit analytical skills, they differ in schooling needed, salary, and job outlook.

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.

I can get a job that I like. When I grow up I want to be a game designer and for that I need to study.
