Brandon's Story

I have always had a passion for video games. For example, I am a huge fan of the Super Smash Bros series because of its unique game play compared to other fighters. It combines action with a large mental game that includes positioning and strategy. I would like to learn how to design a game that appeals to people on various levels. In particular, I would like to design something that challenges the mind of another person in a short amount of time.

Although I'm often a quiet and private person, I have a deep enthusiasm about the things I'm interested in. This scholarship program would offer me a community with which to work and share.

A Note from Ms. Aaronson, Brandon's

"Brandon is a very smart, thoughtful, and caring individual. Brandon makes a long commute on BART each morning and night to attend school in Oakland. He is bright but needs encouragement, resources, and support. iD Tech Camp aligns with his interests in computers and gaming while also providing invaluable technology skills. Thank you for enabling this gift of learning, experience, and fun!"

Dear Brandon.
I am a friend of Jamie's Mom and got to know Jamie a bit. When she posted this request, I know that she has a big heart and really believes in giving back. When I read your story, I really respected your drive and responsibility you have chosen on how you want to create your future and education is most valuable investment.
I really want to acknowledge you for your hard work and never ever give up - even if it takes you longer than you think sometimes :-)
I really wish you an amazing future !!! Dr. Bauer
