PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
During my juvenile years, I am really engage on playing offline and online games usually alone and sometimes together with my few friends and acquaintances. I spend a lot of time to play games making me to neglect my studies during that time resulting to a not so high yet average remarks in my elementary education. Also my mother usually scold me for being addicted in that particular games.
The main reason why I become attached and engaged to this field of virtual interaction of gaming is my being alone and resemblance of being an introvert that time. I rarely interacts towards my peers (only to the one me and my parent really know and familiar to e.g. neighbors, child of my parent’s friend) and the online games becomes my companion in life. It is the one who makes me feel happiness and joyful despite of being unsocial and victim of bullying. Online gaming established a thought in my perception that no one is an island. It is the one stays at my side together with my unknown internet friends that leverage my sense of forlorn.
As time goes by, I become older and mature. I have overcome my introvert and reclusive personality tends me to have more friends. I have moderated my playing time on online games as I really engage this time on my academic enrichment. The one I really regret and repent this present period is the weakening of my eyes having a blurry vision as a consequence for extreme engagement in online gaming during my childhood days.
Now, I really take care of my physical health especially to my vision, making it healthy and fully functioning by engagement to various physical activities and consumption of healthy foods to not make my condition worsen but to normalize it.
