What did you think about eSports before you joined?

When I first joined eSports I felt immediately accepted and welcomed by everyone, it allowed me to make many new friends in which I may have not ever gotten close with outside of eSports.

Do you think that it made your high school experience better?

During the time I joined I was struggling with a lot of personal struggles, such as mental health and school burnout, however esports gave me a space to forget those struggles for a while and make everlasting memories. I definitely believe it made my high school experience better, even if it was only for my last semester.

Even now as I am in college I still carry the memories and friends I met within esports with me, and has helped mold me into the person I am today. If I could go back to that last semester of high school just to experience the time I had during eSports, I would.
