I Dropped Out Of School To Play Guitar Hero

I didn't completely drop out of school because I'm still getting an education through home schooling. It wasn't only about Guitar Hero though. I left because school was basically too easy and I never paid attention during class. Schools teach to the dumbest people in the class; they have to. That makes the smarter people in the class become bored. Now I am able to move at my own pace and I'm getting a better education.

My parents thought I was joking when I first asked them. They reacted just like any other parent would react to their kid wanting to pursue a career in professional gaming. So I came up with a plan and showed my parents that it's very possible to make a living as a professional gamer, if you are dedicated and put in the work. I showed them that I still had a backup plan if I didn't succeed. I am currently looking into taking classes on how to make my own games. I can do that as a career after I am done being a professional gamer.

How It Started

My friends always told me I should go to a tournament because I was really good at Guitar Hero. I used to think they didn't realize how awesome professional gamers are because I had been to a Halo 2 tournament a few years ago where I got destroyed. They finally got me to go to a tournament and I ended up coming in second. After that I started attending more tournaments, and I won without losing a single song. That's when I realized I was good at this game.

A Day In The Life Of A Pro Gamer

My day starts with me waking up around noon. I do morning stuff, like taking a shower and brushing my teeth.
