The Question I Ask Myself
Have you ever paused and wondered, "Where will I be after graduation?" I do that often. As a game enthusiast, I've realized that a career isn't something that magically appears—it's something you actively create, skill by skill, project by project.
Why I Chose BSIT
I didn't choose BSIT because it sounded impressive. I chose it because I love games, exploring how mechanics work, and creating experiences that people enjoy. There's nothing quite like seeing a game I made come to life. Even on tough days, I remind myself that growth happens outside comfort zones.
The Game Development Career I Want in the Future
In the future, I see myself working as a game developer or interactive designer. I want to be part of a team that brings ideas to life and builds games that entertain and inspire people. Real-world experience, collaboration, and contribution to meaningful projects will be my focus.
What Success Means to Me
Success for me isn't just high salaries or instant recognition. It's about steady progress, learning from mistakes, and growing into someone who is reliable, adaptable, and creative. I aim to develop a career that allows me to live a happy, wealthy, and balanced life, pursuing both my passion and personal well-being.
Skills I'm Still Working On
Technical skills matter, but so do creativity, discipline, and teamwork. Here are the skills I'm focusing on:
- Learning programming and scripting for game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine.
- Practicing 2D and 3D art creation to enhance visual storytelling.
- Understanding game design principles and player psychology.
- Collaborating effectively with team members and learning agile workflows.
- Balancing time between work, personal growth, and self-care to ensure long-term happiness.
The Importance of Planning and Execution
Learning game development in the future will teach me that planning, execution, and iteration are key. A good idea is not enough—you must continuously refine and act on it.
Reflection
Looking ahead, I know my journey will involve challenges, debugging nightmares, and late nights. But it will also bring creativity, satisfaction, and growth. The biggest lesson I've learned: progress is better than perfection.
A Message to My Future Self
To my future self, I hope you remember this: keep learning, keep creating, and never lose sight of happiness and financial freedom. The games we build aren't just projects—they're the future we shape for ourselves. Wake up, kick ass, repeat.
