Assignment 1 - Brenden Knuckles

Introduction into a new place is always slightly difficult. Not super difficult, but definitely not easy. Where should you start? Who should you mention? What should you talk about? All of these questions come to mind into simply asking “introduce yourself.” Well, for me, you ask? I’d like to first come off and say that I truly put myself towards something that I truly enjoy doing. Not to be rude, but that’s who I have become. In fact, let’s lead into that. In Kindergarten I was this kid who never talked to anyone in my class. All I did at school was do my homework and schoolwork, and that was it. Besides, what else did I have to worry about? Making friends? Pshh, sorry, that’s not happening. And then there was one moment in Kindergarten that I will never forget: meeting my first friend.

For the record, I didn’t really come up to him, but he came up to me. What he has told me recently is that I was very timid and shy about saying my name. If you see me now, how could I even compare at all? But something else led me to not being a kid who exclusively did work, and that was video games. Video games have been a giant part of my life, if not my life entirely. I love playing them, I love buying them, I love playing them with friends. What amazes me is the extent as to how video games can bring people together. But I digress. After all, there needs to be an end to this blog post.

http://www.coolmath-games.com/ was THE website to use back in elementary and middle school. This was the sole website that got us all into playing video games. The best memories I have with my friends from school was playing on this exact website.

And here’s a picture of a Bob Ross painting (right) next  to the same painting hilariously made in Mario Paint. Ironically, this Mario Paint picture is my desktop background.
