Improved Essays
Computers, the machines that are always changing and evolving. Computers are also continuing to get better. In my life, starting from the beginning, computers were always there for me. They were my best friend, my favorite toy, and the best tool to use for school. In my first years i hadn’t ever seen a computer. My father always talked about this new game that came out and how he loved that game so, but I never saw the game. The time came for me to go to kindergarten, and the teachers had three computers that were for teaching purposes. Somewhere around the third day of school the teacher asked me to come and use the computer. As I walked up to the computer my teacher was explaining to me how to use the computer and what to do.

The news of that was rather exciting. My school, Hobbs Middle School, had just purchased forty new computers for student use. The new computers also meant a new teacher. The teacher was a very good teacher, but i was a little better. The current computer teacher did not know how to physically build a computer. I did though, by three weeks into the computer course, successfully taught the computer teacher the components, and where to place each piece of the computer. The computer teacher praised me on my knowledge, and in favor taught me programming. The middle of the school year came fast, and i had found a job as a farm hand. With the money from pulling weeds and bucking hay, i had earned enough money to purchase all the parts to build my own personal computer.I love my computer, soon I found some friends that lived by me because of my computer.

I had become the team captain for a League Of Legends team called FPS. Me and all my friends created team FPS and started to join gaming tournaments for League Of Legends. Then everything changed. Mid year of my freshmen year, my parents decided to move to utah, taking me with them. The first day in utah I had already been enrolled in school. I went there and I had another computer class but it was what i was taught in middle school all over again. So I decided during that class i wouldn 't do the assignments, i would only ace the tests and be done with it. Then I had an idea, what if I started a gaming team here in utah. I starting asking around but nobody played league of legends. I was depressed, I felt all alone in my world. So what did I do, I went to my computer and logged into league of legends. I knew that at least my old team would be there for me, but as I continued to live in utah my team stopped practicing for tournaments, and eventually stopped playing together, I have lost over half of my friends and all but two members of my team. So i changed tracks, I went from spending all day after school to practice for my team, to do so well in school that I will graduate early, get a job, and move back to Shelley, back to where my friends were. I worked as I hard as I can to complete extra

    It all started in senior year of high school, a moment where, because of my lack of effort at certain times of my teenage life, I was left with very few options regarding where I could go pursue my education after graduating high school.
