Charles Lane loves playing all kinds of games. He has loved games all his life. He has always been interested in computers, too. Today, his love of games and his interest in computers come together in his work. Charles works for a company (公司) that makes video games.

Charles never dreamed of working in a video game company. “It all started by accident (偶然),” he said. “One of my friends worked for a video game company. He knew how much I loved games, and he told me about a job. It sounded like fun.” It was a job as a video game tester.

When a video game company has a new game, they give it to testers. Testers play the game and look for bugs (程序错误) in it. The company wants to find and fix all the bugs before they sell the game.

Video game testers need to have good computer skills. They need to understand how computers work. Charles did not have great computer skills when he went for the job interview (求职面试), so he was nervous. However, the interviewers said, “That’s OK. We can teach someone to use a computer, but we can’t teach someone to love games.”

Charles worked as a video game tester for three years. Now he is a video game producer (制作人). This means that he works on every part of developing a new game. He really enjoys his work. He says, “It’s really a great job. I’m sure it’ll give me what I need to live a happy life and have a bright future.”

On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder(肩膀). “Hi, girl! My name is Rose, I’m 87 years old.”

“Why are you in college at such a young age?” I asked jokingly.

“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!”she replied. Rose became a college symbol(象征) this year and she easily on her from the other students.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
