The Assassin who became a normal college student

I stabbed Five people with a knife and it felt so good!

I grew up playing online games I tried to cut it off permanently but I just cant because its a part of me. Every time I play, I feel carefree which is an awesome feeling. It felt like I am all alone in my own universe of content and happiness.

I used to be a hardcore online gamer who has no life. My daily routine is wake up, grab a bag of chips, sit on the couch all day and play gun games online. Honestly, I feel that time tend to slow down when I am not playing. It became my dope and soon led to my downfall.



 I live in a cyber world called Call of Duty where I kill a bunch of people with a knife or throwing knife while they are armed with guns!(to humiliate them of course). Also, I like pissing other gamers by talking trash to them and make them rage over the microphone which is really really funny!.

This hobby has its big drawbacks: my school grades and weight started to plummet, my eyesight became worse and I stopped spending time with my friends.

When I started attending my classes in Southwestern college I started to learn to regulate my bad habit of gaming all day. Thanks to the lessons thought by my professors about self and procrastination I don't see gaming as a "NEED" anymore now I see it as a way to break away from stress and as a way to "TREAT" myself for working hard in school.

I also met real friends in school that helped me move on from being a gamer namely Mac Bilog, Jonathan Sison, Aldrich Raguine, Aaron Canacio, and Joshua Macias. We always eat or play sports like Basketball, Football and Volleyball after class.

If you are a gamer I bet you can relate to this. I hope you guys learn from my big mistake and balance your gaming time with everything because you have a great life out there, don't waste it in front of the monitor all day, live life the way it should be.

My long lost family

This is my first year attending college here in United States. I definitely felt lost and paranoid at first because its a whole new world for me plus, I didn't have a good time on my senior year which makes entering college more intimidating for me. My previous counselor Mr. Armando Melendrez recommended me sign up for the Bayan Learning Community.

PD 100 and English 114, known as the Bayan Learning Community. I call it my extended family, This is where I can be myself, learned more about who I am, and the best place where I can grow and learn with my friends at the same time.

No matter how cool it is to be a part of Bayan, It doesn't mean we just chill every meeting. We also do many school works. The best part though is when you do them with your fellow Bayan Scholars. Most of the time, our assignments  involves teamwork which makes our bonds closer and improves the way we socialize to other people.

I feel really blessed that I am a part of this family and I will never take for granted what I've learned on this class. I've met lifetime friends and awesome professors whom I look up to. I strongly recommend these learning community to new students who wants to learn more about themselves and those who are undecided about what they want to major in. 

I cant really find enough words to describe this community, This Learning Community gave me my bearings in order to face my future and I am forever grateful for that.
