Austin wishes for his own Xbox. For him an Xbox represents more than just a gaming console; it’s an opportunity to experience the joys and camaraderie of being a typical teenager. Gaming will provide him with a much-needed escape and a way to relax and unwind. It will offer him a healthy outlet for stress relief and help him balance his academic and personal responsibilities. Beyond just entertainment, an Xbox can also be a tool for social connection. Many games have multiplayer features that allow players to connect with friends, make new ones, and build relationships, which can be especially meaningful for someone who has faced isolation or displacement. Engaging in gaming can help Austin develop valuable skills, such as strategic thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.
