Gambling is not as people think it is. In TV shows and movies people always see families getting destroyed over gambling. When I was small I was always playing alone in my room with my toys. I didn’t much family time since both my father and mother both worked. The time that I did spend my mother we played card games. I would save coins so that I could play with her. When I would lose I would and she would get upset at me. I soon realized that I was the one who wanted to play for money. This taught me responsibility at a young age.
This wanted me to share the joy of card playing so I would always carry a deck of cards with me in high school. I was that quiet kid nobody paid attention too. People came and talked to me more when we were on break to play cards. We always put our food or a dare in the line. So it was the kid version of gambling. By the time I graduated I was known as a smart kid yet a card dealer when he had free time. This helped me get out of my shell and gave me the opportunity to talk to people I did not know. I got along with many because of the contentions of the completion to win.
I was born into a family the only why we got along was by gambling. We did not exactly get along otherwise. I was the only child out of all six of my brothers and sister with a different father or mother. I was the youngest with the age difference being the minimum of eighteen years. When it came to family party I was the one forgotten and left in the corner until time ran out. I take out the card that and my family sits on the table to play. Even though we have nothing in common we still could enjoy placing bets on card games as a family. We all enjoy playing together and soon I will be able to play in los Vegas with my family as well. Gambling in a way changed my life and I am sure it would also change many other people’s lives for the better or worse.
