My life before the Wii

When I was about 8 years old I was a very happy kid, I used to play with my toys, with my brother, I used to read, to travel with my family, and do other things kids do.

But one day I went to a friend’s house and he showed me his Nintendo Wii; I got amazed by how it worked, and how you had to make movements to play the games, and when I returned home I started to search on YouTube videos about Nintendo Wii games, specifically  Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2.

My father saw how I talked about the console and how good it was, so, on my 9th birthday, he gave me my own Wii, I got really happy, and I still have it until today
