Chukwuemeka Nsofor

Chukwuemeka Nsofor, a senior at Clear Brook High School in Friendswood, really enjoys playing video games. In fact, he plans to make a career out of them by majoring in digital gaming and simulation at the University of Houston-Victoria as part of the FIRST 200 freshmen.

He found out about the UHV program during a recent college fair event.

“It was the major I wanted, so I signed up,” he said.

Nsofor also loves to draw. For the most part, he draws in a style resembling the anime, Japanese comic books, he loves to read. He’s been a member of his school’s anime club since his sophomore year.

“Recently, I've been trying to go into more of a realistic style,” he said.
