I like all kinds of games, board games, ball games, and so on. I think I have always been a fan of all competitive activities. As a child, I remember taking part in contests and trying to win all the time. It’s just a part of my personality, my proactive personality that likes to take challenges.
My parents noticed this ambitiousness and let me attend different studios and courses. Of course, they weren’t satisfied with the fact I had quit one after another. When they were finally tired of this, I became a member of a cheerleading team at the local sports center. I enjoyed it a lot as I danced in front of the full hall of applauding people. We performed different stunts, and even being one team, we were given different elements to do. The moment of jumping up to the top of the hall from your partner’s arms, this moment of flying brought me real excitement. Of course, after our performance, we could watch the competitions. I wasn’t keen on basketball but enjoyed watching the game.
I made a lot of friends, and I had an amazing time, but this all ended up when I had to enter college. I left my town and relocated to the dorms. Unfortunately, I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and my family’s income was an average one in Canada. Of course, they supported me and sent me some money, but the expenses of a bigger city were bigger too.
I didn’t want to disappoint my parents with the fact I didn’t have enough money to maintain my former lifestyle. You know, socializing also requires some money, at least to buy a cup of coffee in a café where you meet your friends. I decided to look for a job. The range of suggestions for a person without any education wasn’t the top of the top. I was ready to take up anything that could bring me some money to live a casual life. I didn’t mind even getting my hands dirty, cleaning the accommodations, or so. When I noticed the job advertisement in a stationery shop, I was more than happy. A scoop of such a shop assistant’s responsibilities included easy things like selling items, printing papers, or making copies. Didn’t sound complicated. Also, I had a computer, and it was not a clothes shop where I had to run around giving Ms and XLs or try to convince a plump lady to buy this not quite fashionable dress. The owner hired me and promised a small amount of money with some bonuses and perks like breaks and free coffee etc. So, it was a win-win.
I might not have taken my job and studying seriously enough, as I treated them like the tools to live my life happily. I didn’t care if I skipped some classes or didn’t understand an important topic.
The time flew by, and I kind of graduated from college. I listened to my heart and decided not to change my job, as economics turned out to be not the field I wanted to work in. So, I continued working in the stationery shop. My boss gave me a pay raise, but the salary wasn’t really big. As I have already mentioned, I have a computer all the time, so that I might spend time online surfing the Internet.
One day, I saw an article on how to play slots and other free and real-money games at the best online casino in Canada. I felt stuck, so it was like a beam, a sparkle. I remember myself as a little girl who liked to compete. And here, I would be able to feel this thrilling thing again.
I was eager to try. I had never had a lot of money, so I played for free. It’s a real advantage of online casinos in Canada to get such perks. I had some hours in the afternoon when clients usually didn’t come. In the morning, people called in to get some paper or some office stationery. In the evening, I printed documents, but at lunchtime… Lunchtime became the moment when I could get distracted, playing slots and enjoying the loneliness. Even if a customer came in, I could serve him anyway, as online games don’t require your constant presence. You can start and stop at any moment you want.
A bit later, my competitive nature finally made me place a real-money wager. I was so excited to do this and even more excited when I won for the first time. At first, it was really difficult to stop because I wanted to play again and again and win more and more.
Of course, after a month of wins and losses, I calmed down a bit, but I still kept on playing. Now, I place wagers considering not just my passion for playing and competing, but I always keep in mind that life is life. Playing at higher rates and living at higher rates is still my motto.
