Being Birthed
What is more important than being born. Nothing is, because if you're never born then you can't do anything else. Therefore being born is the most important thing. I was supposed to be born on the fourth of july but i came early and was instead born on the first day of summer, Going right along with this, one of my older sister's birthday is the first day of winter which is pretty cool if you ask me. There really is not much to say on this topic as I tend to not remember anything from it. -
First day of high school
I remember walking into the High school thinking, "I have absolutely no idea where i'm going or where anything is, and i was just panicking. I soon found people in my grade and realized that I was not the only new person and that there were many other people in my exact position. This thought calmed me down and I was able to find people that I know that have been in the school for a few years already and know their way around. I asked them for help and I was able to find where I was going. -
Getting denied
Many people are afraid of being denied something, i used to be like that as well and I would never approach uncertainty if it had a chance of making me uncomfortable or had a risk of being denied. However when I went to ask a girl out once, the thing that I feared the most was being denied. Once I got passed that fear I managed to approach her and ask her out. I got denied, and after that I realised that Denial is not as bad as I thought it was. We still remained very, very close friends. -
My first job
Coincidentally this happened on my birthday, This was by far the easiest job I have ever gotten, and not because it was my first job. I literally walked in one day off the street because they had a help wanted sign and I asked if i could apply. The owner just gave me the job right there and told me to come in the next tuesday or i was fired. No one believed me when I told them that i got a job that way. But I had a job and that is what mattered. This was a very interesting job where i had fun. -
Building My first PC
My parents motto was always, "If it's not needed to live then you have to pay for it." And of course a computer is not required to live so I was going to have to earn the money for it myself. After working in that job for a while i had some money saved up and decided to buy the parts to build a computer. I purchased all the parts and assembled the Unit as soon as I got it. One of the parts was defective and I had to buy a replacement. And now I do so much stuff on it from Games to Programming. -
Buying an HTC VIVE
As I watched my fair share of Youtube videos it was no secret that the HTC vive has been out for a while now. I would always watch youtube videos of people playing in the vive and wondered what it is like to be inside of a virtual world. I never dreamed of having one as I knew I would be the one stuck with the pricey $800 price tag. I made a joke to a friend that if the price dropped $100 i would buy it. And WTF, literally the next day it went on sale for $700. So I went and bought it. -
Getting my Learners Permit
Another rule of my parents was, "You cannot get your permit until you are 17 and you have to pay all fees yourself and pay for your own insurance" Which was a rule that I absolutely HATED! But behold on that day, once I took the test, (and got 100 ) I was allowed to be behind the wheel controlling a large piece of technology. If there is one thing I enjoy it is being able to control behavior of objects, Feeling the sheer power behind the machinery as it takes my commands and responds instantly. -
My second job
My first job was great and all, and NO I did not get fired, Nor did I quit. But what did happen is that the rent of the building tripled and they had no choice but to relocate. And they did, but to a place that was an hour away and I was not willing to have a job that far away. so what I did is I went and applied to many other places over the summer. Many not responding and the few that did said that I wasn't what they were looking for. So i applied to Value Village and got a job there. -
Made my first VR game
Purchasing a HTC vive was an amazing thing and actually trying it was breathtaking. Me being me I learned how to bring Experiences and games from my imagination into the Virtual realm. This allowed me to bring worlds and activities to life in a computer generated environment. So what was the first thing that I did with this knowledge? I made a horror game, because what is better than taking a monster from your imagination and making it chase you around a lab while you solve puzzles to escape? -
First day of senior year
The first day of senior year, I thought it would be the same as any other, but oh boy was I wrong. There is a completely new feeling when you realize that the public school system is going to be left behind in a few months, realizing that most of the people that I grew up with, are not going to be there anymore. Some separated by miles, others by states. Of course i'm not going to miss them all, but there are definitely many that I will miss. It doesn't feel like I am a senior, but I know I am.
