I think Robinson may have had a video game addiction.
He had a Presidential Scholarship and dropped out after the first semester.
My son was a National Hispanic Scholar. He had a full ride scholarship. Fortunately, it was to a university in town, although he lived in the dorm. He was flunking at the end of the semester. We pulled him out of the dorm. Made him plead with the scholarship benefactors. Put parental control software on his computer. He retained his scholarship. He graduated and has been working as an engineer for 10 years. But it was not easy!!!
Video game addiction is a real addiction. If it prevents significant academic, social or career achievement, it can probably cause other detrimental issues. We were lucky in our case.
Just throwing that out there.
