  Playing it Smart

It was a quiet afternoon after school, and Alex sat at his desk with his homework spread out in front of him. Alex really wanted to do well on his math test, but he was tempted to play video games instead. His favorite game had just released a new level, and it was hard to stop thinking about it. At first, he told himself he could play for a little while and then study, but he knew deep down that studying was more important. After thinking it through, Alex put down the controller and opened his textbook. He worked hard reviewing the problems until it was time for bed. Because he studied, Alex did well on the test the next day and felt proud of himself for making the right choice.
