About Me

         Hello, to whomever is currently reading this post. My name is Gabrielle Wanek, and I currently attend high point as a communication major. I grew up in a small town in rural Wisconsin, where most of our culture was revolved around being outdoors.

Paintball

         Growing up in a small town, I had come to get involved with paintball through my older brother playing it in high school and college. The first time I played, he gave me his favorite gun and some of his gear. I was terrified, but the game itself was more of an adrenaline rush than anything else. As time went on I got my own gear and gun excited for when I could play again. Unfortunately, in the past two years I have been unable to play due to medical reasons. Whenever I am able to surpass the medical reasons, I will be prepared to pick up my paintball gun again.

How games have changed me.

        Video games play a very important part in my life. From one of the first Mario games to Assassin’s creed these games were my inspiration to pursue video game design as a major. I saw my older brother playing them and I noticed how it made him feel. I wanted people to laugh, cry, scream, or get angry at something I made, to show that games are more than just for kids. Games are very important to me, and they have showed me my path in life.
