    Being the only girl in IT class, it makes me stand out when I’m the only one making games at home for fun and presenting them in class to my teacher. My IT teacher was very impressed and even recommended that I go into the gaming industry!

    • … even recommended that I go into the gaming industry!

      Your IT teacher hates you that much!? 😵

      Ha Ha Only Serious

      Just kidding. Sorta. I have friends who were in the gaming industry. Note the past tense. That’s very common. The burnout rate in computer gaming creators is exceptionally high. If it turns out to be your vibe go for it. Some people thrive in that environment. But always keep an eye out for the exit so you don’t hurt yourself by what you do.
