My Amish Challenge

When I read about the Amish challenge we had to do, first of all I thought: what technology could I leave for a while? I don't have a smartphone, or an iPod, iPad, a MP3 player or a cute celular phone.
I didn't spent too much time on internet, or checking out facebook or twitter... So I decided to give up my PC game Minecraft. And I suffered a lot.

The first day, I was thinking "ok, now I have more time to do my homework, my school projects or anything else I need", and I did. I remember that I finished all the things I had to do, and then I discovered that I was anxious, like when you know that you shouldn't do something, but you really want to do it. I wanted to play Minecraft.

I dreamed about that game, or me playing the game, and when I woke up in the morning of the second day I was decided to end with the challenge or change it for another thing, but that was the main reason I didn't give up.

The final days of the challenge I find other ways to entertain myself: things like studying my notes, listening to music, even reading my old comics or watching videos in my computer; talking more with my sister or with my friends.
I really felt free and more enthusiastic about life.

I think that this challenge helped us to see that we're free to choose if we become slaves of technology, or we learn how to use it without abusing.
