Video Game

I started playing in 2013. I'm an ordinary child who has no experience with computers. I used to play easy games like Feeding Frenzy and Platypus, which did not involve the use of my brain. It was entertaining, but it was only the beginning.

2016, I upgraded that year. Feeding Frenzy and Platypus, are no longer the games I play. I already play Dota 1 and Dota 2. It was an easy transition because my cousin taught me and I picked it up quickly. I became obsessed to the point that I was stealing money in our store just to be able to play. It was one of the most difficult periods of my life.

2017 has only gotten worse. It even damaged my academic performance. I'm a junkie. I wasn't paying attention in class. "Mom, we have a practice, I need money," I pretended to my parents, but nothing happened. I even bring food to prevent myself from returning home. I practiced with my classmates since I was afraid of what they might think. When I entered the tournament, something even more memorable happened to me: my mother approached me and hit me with a stick.

2018 and 2019 have been quite good. I've limited my playing time to 3 hours per day. Due to my responsibilities at home and in school, there were times when I couldn't play. I'm glad to be here among these individuals, even though I don't play.

2020-2022, the first year of the pandemic. I play video games, but I prefer to spend time with my family. Second year, I became obsessed once more. Lack of sleep, excessive food, and often no bathing. I have to wear glasses in third year.

Despite the fact that this happened to me, I learned a lot through playing. Teamwork is important. You are not alone; others feel your pain. To me, that is very important.
