2001 - Sony Playstation
In 2001 I recall having some of my first gaming sessions as a child after receiving it for Christmas 2001. I loved the action and the graphics that it put into my young innocent life, feeling the rumbling feedback in the controller every hit I dealt and took in the game. Little did I know that this little PlayStation would lay the foundation for who I would be as a person for the rest of my life. -

It felt great to connect with my fellow classmates via Instagram or Facebook, and even more so on Snapchat. It was then where I also realized I had the whole internet in the palm of my hands. -
2014: Smart Phone
In 2014, I finally got the opportunity to purchase my own smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy S4. Samsung was just coming out with these hot phones and was in strong competition with Apple and their iPhone.
