A personal essay recounting my own experience competing in the largest North American fighting game tournament, Evolution 2023. This essay is a good representation of who I am as a person. Despite my initial anxieties of competing, I still managed to push through and do my best. In the face of loss I was able to learn from my mistakes, and come out of the experience a better competitor. This essay showcases some of the diversity I’ve encountered in my travels, and the kind of mindset I strive to bring to every new situation I encounter.
Jeff L – Esports and it’s Influence:
A research essay on the real world skills built through competing, and opportunity within the esports scene. This paper demonstrates my ability to build an argument, and back that argument up using relevant sources. This topic was particularly important to me, being someone who grew up in esports culture I wanted to present less obvious ways for young competitors to use their time more productively while chasing their glory.
