I need a short and sweet introduction to my networking class. Just a hello and this is about me – share my loved for computers, VR video games like Elite Dangerous (4 years) and star citizen. Expressing that I only started playing video games because of VR and Elite Dangerous. Expressing that I am on sabbatical to gain inward illumination and humility. I was shown and lead to this house in the hills as my retreat. I am studying C++ to use with Unreal Engine to develop my own ‘space game’.

Here’s a polished, short-and-sweet version you could use for your networking class intro:

—

Hello everyone, my name is Rick. I’ve loved computers for as long as I can remember, but I only got into video games because of VR. Elite Dangerous pulled me in about four years ago, and that eventually led me to Star Citizen as well. I’m currently on sabbatical, taking time for inward illumination and humility, living in a retreat house in the hills that I was, in a way, led to. Right now I’m studying C++ with the goal of using Unreal Engine to one day develop my own space game.

Want me to make this even more casual and conversational (like something you’d say in a Zoom call), or keep it a bit more formal, like a written class post?

Right now I’m studying C++ with the goal of using Unreal Engine to one day develop my own space game. I have owned several computer repair shops in my time however none involved networking. I am passionate about space exploration. I have studied psychology at length to better understand the rigors of space flight and developed my own ideas on the Psychology of Space.
That’s a strong draft—engaging and personal. Here’s a tightened-up version that keeps your voice but trims it into a smooth, confident introduction:

Hello everyone, my name is Rick. I’ve loved computers for as long as I can remember, though I only got into video games because of VR. Elite Dangerous hooked me about four years ago and eventually led me to Star Citizen. I’m currently on sabbatical, spending time in a retreat house in the hills for inward illumination and humility. I’ve owned several computer repair shops over the years, though none involved networking. These days I’m studying C++ to use with Unreal Engine, with the goal of developing my own space game. I’m passionate about space exploration, and I’ve studied psychology at length to better understand the mental challenges of spaceflight—leading me to develop some of my own ideas on the Psychology of Space.

Do you want me to make this version even *shorter* (like a two-to-three sentence Zoom intro), or keep it at this fuller written-post style?
Lets close it off with I am here to serve and to learn. I hope you all find your Path.
Perfect closing touch. Here’s the refined final version with your sign-off:

Would you like me to condense this into a “spoken intro” version too (about 30 seconds long), in case you’re asked to introduce yourself live?
