I am constantly thanking myself for stepping outside my comfort zone and choosing JRTI. Before I came here, I was always quiet and shy; I kept to myself more often than not. When I stepped through the doors on the first day of school last year, I knew everything was going to be completely different. Not only did my grades start rising, I was doing things I never thought I’d ever do.
I had started gaining leadership experience, I was being active within my school’s community, and I was making so many new friends. I was learning new skills that would help me get a head start on my career. At first, I was afraid that I wasn’t going to do well in the class because I didn’t have much experience with coding. Everything was so beginner friendly and everyone was willing to help me learn. I love that I am surrounded by so many people that have the same interests and goals as me.
I’m always recommending James Rumsey Technical Institute to other students and even adults. Going to school here has just changed my view on school and getting an education so much, I want other people to see that too. Not only do I get to learn about stuff I want, I get to take part in simulated workplace which has boosted many of my soft skills and leadership skills tremendously. I’ll always be proud to say that I went to school at James Rumsey Technical Institute.
Thanks to Justin D-Z, creator of ARPG Manger for joining the AM section for a discussion about his game. Students did advance reading and played the game before Justin connected with us via Join-Me. The students had questions about the game as well as the path to creating games. Justin is a member of the JRTI Studios Craft Advisory Committee and an indie-game developer as well as chief technology officer for a national company based in Berkeley County.
