Journey to Richland Community College I ended up going to Richland Community College due to my lack of education and the consequences of slacking during high school. I’ve never been the brightest child nor did I take education really seriously while I was in high school. Playing video games on constant basis did not help with my GPA at all. From the video games to the testing anxiety, it made me just want to skip through high school and go to college. But neglecting school work has finally come to a toll as I took the ACT and the SAT with terrible scores due to my testing anxiety. I’ve come to Richland Community College for assistance and for a better start on my education. Hopefully …show more content…
As freshman year hit during high school I fell in love with my addiction to competitive PC gaming by obtaining a beta code for League of Legends. League of Legends is a new genre of games called a MOBA (Massive Online Battle Arena) where two teams compete to destroy the enemy’s base with their character that is called a “Champion”. I’ve been playing this game for almost 5 years now and the addiction is just growing stronger every passing year. This game is now basically a part of my life; I have to play it at least more than 5 hours a day, otherwise I have withdrawals which is a pretty sad thing. While playing this game during my high school years, I basically neglected all school work that was assigned to me. If an assignment was not completed while I was in class, I just chose not to do it and instead I would just focus my attention on playing more League of Legends. Now starting my freshman year of college I’m still playing it constantly and I’m now on academic probation because of it. Second semester I intend to avoid playing it at all cost and put school work as my top
