I raced home I was so excited to get home and play. I thought I would play that day but I didn’t. I still don’t know why. I was telling my parents that I went 6 months without playing videogames but they didn’t believe me. They thought I played in the night or when they weren’t here. But I know that I did it. The important thing is that I know that I did it and I knew, so I didn’t let their words affect my happy day.
June is the best month of the year so far. I was happy that whole month. It was my brothers birthday videogames for a while it was all perfect until July 26, 2017. My sister’s birthday. Our family made a party for her. All our relatives came over. Before that my sister gave our wi-fi password to one of our cousins. We didn’t want that person to be on their phone the whole time so my sister tried to block that person from our internet. Later we all ate, went to my room and played some videogames for like 30 minutes until we couldn’t play online any more, stange.
For the next 3 months the internet didn’t connect to my ps4. I wondered what happened. Did I play too much? I didn’t know what happened. Me and my brother tried to fix it but nothing would happen, until my brother said” What if we delete everything and hopefully it would work” I said “ok” and we did it we deleted everything, every game our accounts, all our progress, gone. It didn’t work, I was so sad and

I got up and told myself I didn’t want to be lazy the rest of that Sunday. I got up off my lazy butt and went upstairs to ask my sister if she wanted to play some wiffle ball over at the park. She said yes mostly because we had gotten new wiffle ball equipment as an early birthday present for both of us (Her birthday is the day after mine).…

    In order to truly understand the impact of this moment on my life, you will have to make an attempt at putting yourself in my shoes. In the case of this narrative, the shoes you will be squeezing into will be a size 8.5, and those of a racially ambiguous pseudo-adult with relatively large hair. Throughout the span of my eighteen years of life, I have viewed the quandary that is my mixed race ethnicity with a fair amount of acceptance, but also with an underlying feeling of insecurity. Although I embrace the varied, yet relatively balanced features that I have inherited from my Italian mother and African American father, genetics definitely left me with a skin tone that is a bit more on the yellow side of the skin color spectrum than…
