I'm a geek. That's the plain and simply truth. I've been playing video games ever since I was little and they have been my favorite activity for my entire life. I've always looked forward to the new releases of games to discover what new treat the developers have in store for me. They've truly shaped my life and introduced me to many of the people who make up my friend group. I've made good grades throughout my school years and ended my last semester of high school with high honors. My grades have always been a place of great pride and the proof of learning something new has always been a great feeling.
