I have moved many times over the course of my life, so my school history is hard to track with certainty. Because of that, my story is less about a single place and more about constant change, instability, and adaptation.
My family came from very different backgrounds and personalities.

 

My mother was a technical administrator who worked at a Qualcomm chip factory, and my father worked at an airport as a mid level baggage clerk. Their relationship was difficult, and my childhood was shaped by tension, instability, and the fallout that came from the inevitable divorce. My extended family was large, complicated, and often inconsistent, with strong personalities and very different ways of living.

As a child, I remember some good things mixed in with the chaos. I did the parachute game in first grade, got free toothbrushes and snacks during test weeks, and played educational computer games like Super Munchers, Carmen Sandiego, and The Oregon Trail. I also enjoyed simple toys and electronics, even though money was often tight and things broke easily or had to be shared across the household.

School was uneven for me because we moved so often. I remember elementary and middle school as a mix of strange memories, social pressure, and occasional fun. Some schools had unique features like obstacle courses, big outdoor assemblies, and game time for students who finished early. Other parts of school were harder, especially when I had to deal with conflict, depression, and a lack of stability at home.

 

My interest in computers and games grew over time, especially once I had access to a PC and later consoles like the Super Nintendo and PlayStation.
By high school, life had become even more complicated. I struggled with school pressure, grief from dead family members, and inconsistent support from my religious family . Losing people close to me had a big impact, and I often felt misunderstood by the adults around me.

 

At the same time, I kept noticing how much I liked technology, games, and systems that let me create or explore. Looking back, those interests were some of the few things that stayed consistent.

I later joined the Army, but I did not last long through boot camp before quitting altogether. The experience showed me that the military was not the right path for me.

 

After that, I moved into the Job Corps trade school, where their demands were more reasonable & less structured. I went to a school dance there, even though relationships and social opportunities were still difficult for me to sustain.

Job Corps helped me move toward a network administrator job, which was an important step even if the commute was exhausting.

Later, I worked in valet and security jobs and crossed paths with public figures, entertainers, and internet personalities along the way.

Most of those encounters were brief and unremarkable, but they reminded me how much of adult life is spent around people who are only passing through. Then COVID changed everything, and losing work also gave me a chance to reset and rethink my direction.

My life has not followed a smooth or conventional path. It has been shaped by frequent moves, family conflict, school struggles, job instability, and a long effort to find a place where I fit.

Even so, I have kept moving forward, and the one constant has been my interest in technology, games, and figuring out how systems work.
