Pen and Paper Games: Introduction

Including my experiences in pen and paper games in my portfolio may seem like an odd choice, using Dungeons and Dragons as an example for leadership experience even more so. However, I wish to stress the significance of this topic in regards to my start in the UW community, as well as in regards to taking a leadership role, something that I found very difficult doing before. Back in high school, Dungeons and Dragons played a critical role in improving my then nonexistent social and communicative skills, and helped me become more confident in exploring more leadership oriented activities. For that reason, I hope to continue using pen and paper games at the UW to further my personal growth outside of my classes, both by organizing sessions with friends, and taking a leadership role in the UW pen and paper club.
