Hello, I’m Braden Ivey. I am a first-year student at lane studying for a degree in drafting. Throughout high school, I tried several different elective classes, from percussion to culinary arts, to find out what I really wanted to study for in college. It wasn’t until my sophomore year that I ended up trying the drafting course that they had there. After realizing that I enjoyed drafting, I continued taking as many courses as I could for the remainder of my high school career. Now that I am out of high school and in college, I have gotten to take even more drafting courses and further show to myself that it is something that I enjoy doing and would like to study more.

Outside of school stuff, I enjoy video games. For me, video games are a way that I have used to hang out with my siblings and my friends for years. While I still use it in that way today, it has also recently become a source of competition for me. About three years ago, I started doing speedrunning. Speedrunning is basically taking a video game and trying to beat it as fast as possible and then uploading that speedrun to a leaderboard to try to get the fastest time out of everybody on there. Ever since I started, it has been one of my favorite hobbies to this day. Thanks for reading my post!
