My subculture is video gamer. video gamers are people who partake in interactive gaming. they also spend a notable part of their time playing and/or learning about video games. I chose this subculture because I have friends who want to or are gamers. being a gamer is just something that interests me because I honestly see no idea how people make so much money off of playing video games or being in video game tournaments. some historical examples are that the first Video game system that was widely sold was the Atari 2600. A modern example would be anything from madden 15 to fifa 15 to call of duty:advanced warfare. some famous gamers are the syndicate project. the syndicate project has over 7.1 million people on his live stream.
My family was scattered from different places. My Dad was from San Jose, California. he came to Illinois in 1997 for better opportunity and better jobs.
My Mom came from El Paso, Texas. She came to Aurora,Illinois in 1999 for the same reason as my Dad. My parents met at a church in Aurora, Illinois. My parents were renting a 2 bedroom house in Aurora, Illinois together. 2 years later, my parents had Me in 2001 and my sister in 2003. We moved to Woodridge, Illinois in 2011, also the same year my little sister was born. this lens and story shaped my life and where I lived my life and got educated. Why did my family choose Illinois out of all other states in the country closer to Mexico?
Answer: "Because we saw the most opportunity In Chicago and we had a few friends that we can start living with until we find a job." When and Why did we move to the U.S.? Answer: we decided to go to the U.S. because there were no jobs and it was too violent and we wanted better education for future generations.we moved to the U.S. in 1986 How did we get from Mexico to Illinois? Answer: "we took many bus trips and spent lots of money on bus tickets and food and hotels on the way to Illinois." My economic history. My family has never been in a rich class. I mean we've never been short on money but we have not ever been really wealthy. our family has always lived in the city but we just moved into the suburbs. This economics lens has shaped my life because economics deals with the clothes I wear, where I live, where I get educated, ETC.
