Video games, specifically my Playstation 4, are a vital part of my childhood and success growing up. The PS4 is a slim black slanted square with the sony symbol in the center of the topIn my childhood, the playstation was an important piece as it was my first “big kid” console. I played many games with both my mom and sisters. My sister Abby didn’t live in my moms house when I was a kid, but I thought she was so cool whenever she stopped by and talked or played with me. She was a big inspiration for me. Then when I learned that she loves Call of Duty, playing it was a way of connecting to someone who lived in her own world, especially when we played Call of Duty together. Then I’d play racing games with my mom who was working all the time and could only spend time a few days a week. Playing those racing games at the time was the most important thing in my life.The PS4 and its games also affected my life growing up: I was playing for hours a day everyday which did lead to me procrastinating homework, but also helped a lot. I played intense games that trained my focus and learning capabilities and learning those skills has helped me immensely in school. I’m able to go into the zone and do really good work at times or use my unique remembering techniques to learn all kinds of things.
