I know they will be interested to have a look! In my profession I am a counselor. For 8 years I have been working with adolescents. many of them report to me that when they get older they want to work as video game designers. I often wonder how many of these jobs are actually available. I can tell you they would all be impressed with you. If you ever work with this population you will be a very popular lady! I will let you know after my girls check out your posts. Thanks for sharing that info. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-57865206630790282062013-01-25T07:50:51.077+01:002013-01-25T07:50:51.077+01:00Thank you, Softie!
