Kent ISD — In the latest episode of the “Your Dream is Our Dream” podcast, Lowell High School senior Jonny Rapelje talks about taking on his siblings and friends in gaming over the years, almost always besting each competitor by a wide margin.
He recently put his esports skills to the test and won the second annual Kent County Cup, a Mario Kart competition. The win opened his eyes — and his parents’ — to the college and career opportunities in the esports arena.
Editor’s note: Your Dream is Our Dream is an initiative of Kent ISD that brings you conversations with students from all levels of education in various formats about their dreams and the educators who ignite and inspire them. The podcast is hosted by WGVU Public Media.
