Video games and friends make me happy. Something that gets me through life is playing video games with my friends. Playing games just really given me joy ever since I was a kid. Although it can be addicting and increase my eye prescription, video games just calm me down. Videogames to me are a way to escape reality and just express myself. But it’s not really just video games itself, it’s the friends I play with that make it so enjoyable.  When I play games I usually play with my group of friends I’ve known since elementary school. I’ve grown up with them my whole life and I’m very happy to have them in my life. Some games we typically play are Valorent and Roblox. We love to play games that allows our whole friend group to play so nobody gets left out.

My challenges I face everyday. Some challenges that I mostly encounter in my everyday life are school work, assessments, and most importantly getting a 4.0 GPA. Getting a 4.0 is a goal for me is a goal and dream of mine. I’ve never gotten a 4.0 GPA in a school year, the closest I’ve gotten was a 3.6 last year. A lot of people would think a 3.6 is really good and although it is I have higher expectations for myself. The satisfaction of getting all A’s in a year would be incredible, not to mention it would look awesome on my college resume. Coincidentally the only reason why I didn’t get a 4.0 last year was because of my grade last year in English which was a B+. I would say English is my weakness when it comes to school. Something that I started noticing was when I’m happy and relaxed I start to do better in school. Playing video games with my friends for even a couple minutes makes me happy and less stressed out. Video games just allow me to have a fresh mindset and not have to worry about anything in real life. I feel like everything in the world just stopped in time and I can just relax and play games.
