The best present I have every received

        On December 25, 2015 I received the best gift of my life. On December 25 I received my ps4. the reason why I was so happy when I received my ps4 is because I was always stuck playing my ps3 while all my other friends were playing the new games on the next gen console which at that time was the ps4.  It got kind of boring playing the same things over and over again so it was time for a change I had also had been asking my a lot for the ps4 because all my friends were telling me to get it.         

 I’ve had a lot of background experience with gaming from FPS to action and racing games so I am really familiar with my games plus I also started when I was really young I stared playing games around the age of 3 and that was from hand held systems to playing systems like game cube and ps2 I really got into them because of my dad he was the first one to introduce gaming to me. But as I got older I got a lot better I stared to enter matches to compete in and also playing for money with my team.

        Fast forward back to December 25, 2015 I got the ps4 on Christmas day and I was super excited because that meant I could play with my other friends from around the world and friends that I just knew from school, but that also meant I was able to the new games that had out for ps4 which weren’t released yet on the ps3. I was also able to continue to compete again. I had a lot of fun on ps4 but I realized I was doing the same thing over and over again which also wasn’t fun because there was no variety for me I was playing the same games and that got boring to me and I as I grew older I lost interest in playing games so for a while my ps4 just sat in my room collecting dust for like 6 months and then after that six months was up I stared getting back into it. Then came the summer and in the summer I don’t really do much inside so I decided to sell my ps4 which was a bad idea because after the summer was over and it got into the winter months I had nothing to do and my mom also wasn’t very happy that I sold the ps4. The lesson I learned from this was to not get rid of the best present you have every received without thinking twice about it because in the end you will regret it if it was a bad decision.
