When I was in the 6th grade, back when the Sony PSP was still the bomb, my mom promised me that she would buy me one if I made the honour roll for my grade.

This meant that I had to have a 95% overall average in all my classes for an entire school year.

Well, I worked hard enough and was on track… Until I hit the mid-term mark.

By this time, I was tired of studying all the time and not having enough time to play… And that Sony PSP seemed like a distant prize.

So I started spending less time studying, and more time on things that mattered more at the moment – like playing Digimon World 2 on my Playstation One.

Needless to say, I never got that Sony PSP.

You’ve probably experienced something similar.
