About Me

My Name is Albert Gamboa and I am a freshman student studying multimedia journalism at the University of Texas at El Paso. My topic for my English 1312 class is Video Game Addiction. The reason I selected this topic was because any time I have after school or my social life I spend on playing video games. I also used to play more than average but once college work caught up to me I stopped playing as frequently. I have learned that some people’s social life is online video gaming because they have no friends in school or are not any clubs after school. This is a reason for becoming a video game addict. This relates to school and other classes because homework doesn’t get done and grades fall for students who rather play video games than to finish school work. This topic however does not go with any classes that I am currently taking or going to take in the future. This topic has given me information to help me contain playing video games and focus more and my school work and that it is more important to get an A in a class rather than a high score in a video game.
