Hello

Before entering college, I had no real idea what I wanted to do after graduation. I had never truly looked inward or explored my own interests. All I knew was to meet the expectations around me—get into a highly ranked university and find a well-paid job afterward. So I chose a major I barely understood, Automation, simply because I heard it led to high salaries. Once in college, even though I found many of my courses uninteresting—dry, difficult, and taught without passion—I still did my best to learn them. But eventually the discouraging truth surfaced. After my sophomore year, I tried to look for an internship, only to discover that nothing I learned in school connected to real-world industry work. I could barely understand the questions interviewers were asking me. After that realization, I essentially gave up on the formal curriculum and focused only on passing my classes. Instead, I taught myself the knowledge actually used in industry: backend development, network architecture, planning algorithms, and so on. This self-taught path eventually helped me earn two internships and several full-time job offers after graduation. When I started working, I thought I had finally reached a stable point in my life—that this orderly path was simply how things would continue. But the days became repetitive, mechanical, and creatively empty, as if I were just another screw in a giant machine. The pressure pushed me to confront myself: What kind of life do I truly want? After six months—and after countless nights spent alone in my rented apartment, tinkering with Unity and trying to build my own games—I finally found the answer.

I want to be a game developer.

I want to pour my passion and effort into meaningful moments—moments when, even though I feel exhausted or discouraged, I still choose to keep going.
