Personal Narrative: Quitting Competitive Call Of Duty

Decent Essays
I'm quitting competitive Call of Duty, I've been thinking about quitting for quite sometime now, I've made a lot of amazing memories with numerous people in the Call of Duty community. I know people will be extremely disappointed or surprised in my decision to quit competitive gaming because i'm the last person you would expect to quit.

The expenses for me to compete at any lan event is ridiculously expensive, Usually costing me around an estimate of $2500. Expenses are not my only problem, The time zone is my next problem. I'm usually 5 hours back with the people i play with so when i wake up, It would be in the late after noon for my teammates. We wouldn't

    Hi Quit Buddy, I understand exactly how you feel in regards to needing more time alone and socializing less. I enjoy the solitude of my home right now, as I experience the magnitude of my smoking addiction for the first time in my life. I am just lucky that I have been able to take the time off from work to undergo this major life altering change. It has been hard on me both physically and mentally, as you are well aware of yourself. I personally feel best socializing on this forum with people who understand what I am going through, especially since all my friends and family who live nearby are non-smokers.…

    The experience that I went through and that I would like to share was when I played golf in the beginning of the year. I was fine managing my schedule during the first week or two of school, but then I started getting more and more homework as the weeks went on. I had a hard time keeping up with my school work and playing golf. I practiced every day after school and I didn’t really have any time after school to do my homework. Playing golf took up basically all of my time because I played it 5-7 days a week between practicing with the school team or practicing with my golf instructor/coach.…

    Before I joined the golf team, I was quiet and reserved; however, golf has helped shape me into a better leader and teammate because it has improved my communication with others. As I have met a countless number of people of all different personalities, I feel more confident in how I handle working with other people. On the course, I have learned how to be both a competitor as well as a supportive playing partner. Interacting with a wide range of people has taught me to adapt to different situations because some people are very easy to talk to where others are not so much. When you are with someone for a good five to six hours, you have to learn how to interact with people, which is hard for introverts like me.…

    The Lesson in Quitting For the past 7 years of my life, swimming has played a huge role. Growing up, I had always enjoyed being in the water, and was one of the odd kids that genuinely enjoyed swimming lessons, no bribes required (thinking about it, I wish I had some of those kids in the lessons I teach now). Overtime, it began to feel less like a passion and more like an obligation; something I had committed to that was too late to stop. I was afraid to quit, afraid to disappoint, and trying to be dedicated to a sport I had lost interest in made me start to hate it. This year, I finally decided to drop the sport, and am now embracing the huge change it has had in my life.…
