I never had a personal computer unless my parents’ knowledge that I need a computer for my student life. So I need to work and do presentations. But when they bought me my first laptop, I downloaded the game. I have a friend, his name is Kairat, and he taught me how to play Valorant, a shooter game. And this game became for me a favorite one. He taught me how to aim, how to shoot, how to move, how to street. This was very useful in this field. How to communicate, how to give info to your teammates to win a game, to win a match. So this was kind of a struggle for me because I had never played such games. But now I still play it. I love this game. I still play it, but because I don’t have enough time to do that, I play it very rarely. I think that in the future I will stop doing it because I’m getting older. I need to think about other stuff, then learn about more useful things for me. And don’t think about video games. I get more mature.

I never had a personal computer until my parents realized that I needed one for my student life. I needed to work and do presentations. When they bought me my first laptop, I downloaded a game. I have a friend, his name is Kairat, and he taught me how to play Valorant, a shooter game. This game became my favorite. He taught me how to aim, how to shoot, how to move, and how to strategize. This was very useful in this field. He also taught me how to communicate and how to give information to my teammates to win a game, to win a match. This was a struggle for me because I had never played such games before. But now I still play it. I love this game. I still play it, but because I don't have enough time, I play it very rarely. I think that in the future, I will stop playing it because I'm getting older. I need to think about other things and learn about more useful skills for me. I want to focus on becoming more mature.
