Sadie's Personal Event
For Christmas I received an Xbox One. There is about 4 different types of Xbox's which consist of the Xbox 360, Xbox 360 Core, Xbox 360 Pro, Xbox 360 Elite, and the newest, Xbox One. I didn't really play my Xbox until this year (2018). This is because none of my friends played any games that were interesting to me until Fortnite came out. After I started playing Fortnite I started exploring with other games like Halo and Call of Duty.
