Every morning, my classroom is full of students around multiple televisions cheering each other on and getting better at their selected game. We have one student in our program who struggles to make friends, but since arriving at eSports, he has started to make friends as he coaches others on the team and coordinates team communication.\r\nStudents are also excited about introducing a new game to our schedule in the upcoming year.
