Dear EA and Simgurus,
I know I'm only in high school and far from ready to get a job, but becoming a simguru is my dream job. I've been playing Sims since I was 11, starting with The Sims 3. I have also played The Sims 4 and a little bit of The Sims 2. I play Sims 3 or Sims 4 almost every weekend and I have made over 2,000 posts to the forums. In addition, I love when the gurus livestream and it almost feels as though I am one of them myself.
I have taken it upon myself to begin learning computer programming. I'm starting with Java Script, but once I'm done I hope to learn C++, which I heard is used for at least The Sims 4. Since I just started, I don't know much, and you may laugh at how little I know compared to you. However, I am still going to show you my portfolio (if you can call it that) as of 9/21/2018. I made these as projects for Khan Academy's Java Script class.
If you sort by recent, my newer projects are at the top while my older ones are at the bottom. I hope the link works!

Anyways, I hope somebody from the Sims team will see this and, if they would give me feedback, it would make my day! I know I don't have even close to the skills needed to get a job as a simguru, but I hope to see you several years from now! And because I'm not afraid to put myself out there, I'm tagging a bunch of simgurus.
