Interests
My fascination with space exploration started early in my childhood. As a society, we have been able to gain a lot of knowledge about the behaviors and phenomena that occur in space. While we know so much, at the same time, we know so little. This is what drives my curiosity when it comes to understanding the complexities of space. I agree with the idea that mankind needs to be a multi planet species in order to guarantee our survival. It is important to invest and develop out space exploration technologies because it get us to this goal. The byproducts of investing into space exploration technologies have dramatically impacted the world and has spurred technological and scientific progress. For all of these reasons, space exploration has been one of my interest.
During my childhood, I spent countless hours playing video games. Whether it be playing with my cousins from all around town, or playing with people from all around the world, video games gave me a chance to explore worlds unlike any others. My passion for developing video games came when I took a Unity game development class in high school. There I was able to game development concepts and learn about all of the components that go into making videogames. I realized that this is something I want to do. I want to be able to impact the lives of people in the way that video games has impacted me. The ability to bring joy to millions of people would be a dream come true.
