About me
Hi, my name is Lars Pluijmakers. I am 19 years old, and I live in Oudkarspel. My hobbies are gaming (obviously), playing chess, and ice skating.
My education is Game Developer at the Grafisch Lyceum Utrecht (GLU). If you know Oudkarspel then you will know it's not even close to Utrecht.
So yes, I travel every day to Utrecht and back. It's 2 hours each way, but it's worth it. Because I really like my education and programming has become my passion.
Before I went to GLU, I had never even touched a code language. I literally started from square one. At the beginning of my education, I was quite struggling
and it also didn't help that I was sick in one of the first weeks. I was falling behind a bit.
Then after the first few weeks school offered some extra help to the students who were just like me, struggling a bit to keep up or didn't understand certain things.
After the first few months, I managed to turn things around. I understood everything better.
From that moment onwards I was only in an upward spiral. My grades got better and my motivation had never been so high. Even to this day, my motivation is incredibly high.
Back in middle school, my motivation was never there. But since I go to school here, that has changed. Even though I have to travel 4 hours every day, it's so worth it.
Cause this has become my passion and I am so happy with all the choices I have made. So in conclusion: you can achieve everything in life if you work hard enough for it.
