Change is the alteration that results in a major change in the way we perceive and interact with the world. It is the process of reforming oneself in appearance or transforming into something or someone new. The concept of change is very significant because it gives us new experiences, both positive and negative. Being the best student was something I never had to worry about or want because of my devotion to my studies. It was the third time I was awarded as one of the best students in high school. My dad bought me a brand new Play Station 3 as a gift in recognition of my good results at school. Video games have become one of my favorite hobbies. I developed interest in games and spent most of my time on them. It taught me some driving skills making me very easy in physical driving, I spent about 8 hours playing every day. My reasoning skills also improved through puzzles and adventure games. The excitement of gaming turned into addiction to the point that I downloaded games on every device, including my cell phone. It started to negatively affect my life academically, socially, family and religiously. The ability to concentrate on studies was significantly impaired by distractions. Even though I graduated from high school with good grades in all subjects, it wasn't what I expected. I could have done better if I had dedicated enough time to my studies. When I started college, like I learned from my mistakes. I continued practicing the game until I realized the impact it had on me. My academic performance changed drastically and started facing challenges. The more time I spent playing, the more curious I became. I started receiving low grades on various assignments. Sometimes I even forget... the middle of the paper... and feel disorganized heading into the next lesson. I slept less due to the amount of time I spent gaming at night. This always affected my subsequent days and sometimes made me fall asleep during classes. During my week of change, preparation for school and class was maximized. My grades in all assignments and courses started to increase. After that my daily schedule was followed without any interference. I have always taught myself to play because a way to celebrate was irreplaceable. My week of change made me realize that even though it will be difficult, I have decided to make this change. The change has brought me so many benefits that I thought would be lost. I never taught that I could give up social media. I realized that video games were a hindrance to my academic and social life, so I decided to stop and make academic studies a priority.
