One of my favorite things to do is to watch sports like Basketball and Football. I like to watch games live from home on tv, in person, or highlights from the N.B.A (National Basketball Association) or N.F.L (National Football League). My second favorite thing to do is play video games on my PlayStation 5 console. What I’m hoping to achieve as a result of taking this writing class is to get better at writing, reading, analyzing text, and to overall get better at being a technical writer. A goal I have for the future is to not just pass my classes but to really get good grades and actually learn and understand the information being taught in all my classes. My plan to achieve this is to really focus and take each assignment serious. Also, to come to class on time every day and while in class I want to actually pay attention to the lessons to make it easier for myself when completing assignments.
When it comes to my future, now more then ever before i’ve thought about the goals i set long term, there are many goals i want to accomplish through my lifetime but there are also many goals i must think about now so i can keep working towards it step by step. The goal i consider to be my main is get my degree, I am currently majoring in computer science and i know it can take me far in life financially, since computer science takes a lot of dedication and work, it’s a long term goal but throughout the next couple years it will be broken into steps as i get my degree, taking more learning classes and eventually get a job where i can settle in, once i settle in the rest of my goals will likely set into place all together. Another goal i have that i hope to be soon, is get a car by 20; iam currently 18 which means i have 2 years more to keep saving so i can buy myself a car, but another goal that goes with this one is getting my drivers license by 19 which means i only have a year left about, although i already have my permit which makes me a step closer to my goal. There is this one life goal i have that adds it all together, which is at least to have my own house at 25-26 years old, with having my own house i can settle into my own life and know i’m stable and living the life i’ve dreamt of. When it comes to goals i set them to predict my future because this way i know all the dedication and work i do now, will have its purpose in life towards the future.
One of my favorite hobbies has always been video games. When I was little I had a small interest in video games but at one point I didn’t know what it even meant to like video games. My small but growing obsession with video games started when my grandmother sent me a used pink Nintendo Ds that used to be my aunts. The small video game device was the first that I had encountered that I could call my own so it will always have a special place in my heart. At first it came with two games that I didn’t like very much but over time people started giving me more so I started to play more and more often, as I increased the amount of time I spent playing I came to the realization that I liked video games. The next time i spoke to my uncle from my dads side of the family I told him all about my Nintendo something that he didn’t seem too interested on but the next time he visited he brought with him a Wii, i think he may have miss understood when i told him Nintendo but i was grateful non the less and it even came with a 3D game something that my Nintendo Ds was never able to run. These two consoles were the start of my favorite hobby.
Video games have had a huge impact on my life and continue to do so. When I was a small child I didn’t have time to spend with my parents since they were always at work and I also didn’t have any friends since I just moved to America. That’s where video games came in. I fell in love with it spending hours every day after school playing Warframe. It was an escape for me almost. but Video games work in different ways, for me it was just entertainment but that’s not all it can provide the end entertainment, education, and even provide therapeutic benefits to those who play them. From providing a way to socialize and connect with friends virtually to helping people with their mental health, video games can be used to improve lives. Additionally, video games can help people develop new skills, such as problem-solving, strategy, and creativity.
I really only have 2 main hobbies, PC building and video games. Video games and PC’s have been a near constant in my life for as long as I can remember, not because my parents or any family member works in the tech sector, it’s because my father brought a laptop for the novelty of it and I’ve been obsessed with such things ever since. I’ve always spent my younger days simply doing things as fast as possible simply so I can make a b-line back to my seat in front of that laptop. I recall that at some points my parents got angry with me because I left something half-baked so I could go back to playing games on my PC. Of course as I grew older I’ve gained more self control over my hobby, but I also began to expand my knowledge of my devices to the point where I even brought new desktops simply so I can tinker and upgrade parts to increase its efficiency.
One of my Favorite Hobby is to Trade Options Contracts. I enjoy trading contracts because it’s a source of addtional income. It is fun to see how different economies effect each other, like there would be news that can move the chart significantly making it very exciting for a higher potentional of making more money. I would trade 3 times a week using RoobinHood even though it is not the best, I like the bits of information they give and their format. Ofcource there are other places to buy or sell contracts like Webull but, using the Simple process of using TradingView for the chart and RobinHood for the exchange process I find more enjoyable.
A game that has Influenced my life is “The Last Of Us” (which is now Series) which taught me about how life can take away loved ones, people that you care about and overcoming your struggles through time. There is a lot that can be learned from the story, not only is the gameplay keeping you on your toes but you also create a deep connection with the characters. Making you invested in wanting more from the game and creates anticipation for what happens next. It is one of the best games that I have ever played and highly rated by everyone I’ve met that has played the game.
Everyone has hobbies and I am no exception. Since childhood, my hobbies have been increasing and changing, such as swimming, playing basketball, and playing badminton. However, the most unforgettable hobby in my memory has always been loving animals and watching documentaries about animals. I was interested in animals because of the environment I lived in when I was young, and the rural environment allowed me to see all kinds of different animals. In the spring of every year, my grandfather would go to the town to buy several newly born geese and bring them up at home. I often followed my grandfather to lead the geese to the rice fields that had been harvested so that they could eat the rice and worms in the fields that had been left behind during the harvest. Before I came to the United States I raised many animals, such as parrots, cats, dogs, pigeons, fish, and rabbits. Now I have given up the idea of continuing to raise animals due to the environmental restrictions here. However, my love for animals has never changed. In my free time, I often spend time watching animal documentaries and studying the living habits of animals.
