Marcus TreeseMarcus Treese

Hello, my name is Marcus Treece. I am from Albany Newyork. I recently
graduated from Albany high school as part of the Class of 2022. This summer I
plan to work on my basketball skills and work. I am very excited to go to the
University at Albany this fall. I plan to major in Game Development & design
concentration. I can’t wait to meet new people and see some familiar faces on
campus. I like to listen to music, play video games, try new foods, and play
basketball during my free time. I plan to try out for the Basketball team at UAlbany
and eventually play professionally. If I do not achieve that goal I will continue to
pursue a career in creating video games. My Ultimate dream on my bucket list is to
visit another country to site see, and try out all kinds of food. Even in the United
States, I haven’t traveled to many states. So I would like to travel a lot more and
see what’s out there.
