Bio

My name is Jonathan Baruch, am a first-generation college student in my entire family and a determined person with big dreams to succeed in life. I am currently enrolled at William Peace University, studying for a bachelor's degree in Simulation and Game Design. I also plan to study for a minor in Esports management at my school. I love to spread my imagination to everyone I come across. I want to share my endless creativity in the video game industry. After I graduate from college I plan to start my career as a programmer/game designer for any video game company that will achieve my goal. My biggest dream is to one day start my own video game company and make games for everyone.

    There once was a time where I questioned myself on what to do after I finished High school. I couldn't decide on what to do, should I apply for college?, go to work?, or even enlist for the military?. None of my parents went to college, my older brother being the only one to go to a community college, but not a university. Sometimes I even decide not to think about it and just move on, not worrying about it yet. But, then I soon realized that if I don't act now I will soon regret it and waste so much time. So I decided that now was the time to step up and exit my comfort zone. I began looking through the options I have and soon I decided to go to college after my high school graduation. I started looking through the many schools with the interests and career choices they offer. As well as spend time with many friends and family, plus have them to give me advice and other life skills that could help in the near future. After hearing everyone's opinions I felt a bit more confident on what to do post high school. I will go to college and start a career in video game designing which has been a career that I've always been interested in doing and to be a part of. I started off as just a kid not willing to do anything, just sit around and just wait for something to happen on its own. Well I can't be a kid forever, I need to move forward and take action immediately. Whatever the future holds for me, I will be ready for it.
