Pokémon

For example, starting sophomore year I started missing the school bus to stay after school and then walked 2.5 miles home every day I needed to. If I had to baby sit that day, I would probably walk them to school with me and turn the trip into a Pokémon Go quest. Needless to say my grades improved from this. I also began to be more interactive in my school by joining several clubs like Garland High School Marching M.O.B (Mighty Owl Band) and became more active in my community by volunteering to…

-1- The Transformation I had a dream about turning into an animal the night before it all happened. The day before, my friend (Charley) and I had an encounter with The Wizard of Thepville. We destroyed him in a game of cards him and totally rubbed it in. He told us some sort of riddle like," You shall become thy goat and thy chicken, for then at first light you shall be transformed". Being the cool guy I am, I just said," pshhhh, whatever". And here I am the next morning with…

Standing under the familiar radiant heat, the gentle glow on my skin reminded me of the many summers I spent being complacent in Washington. However, surrounding me were kids from numerous families who knew nothing about complacency. They were always moving, always multitasking, and always working; I wondered how migrant farm worker families coped with such a restless lifestyle compared to mine. For the past four summers, I traveled with the St. Anthony Parish youth group on mission trips. Most…

Introduction Throughout the Spring 2016 semester, students were expected to volunteer at the Oasis Católico Santa Rafaela tutoring program, which located in a primarily Hispanic community with the goal of serving its local residents by tutoring children to put them on the same educational footing as native English speakers. During this volunteer work, I was exposed to challenges that I was wholly unaware of in a community that is far more underserved than I realized. I will discuss what I…

top part was built like a shelf to display the comics. And I happen to be lucky and showed up on a day where the store had a Magic Cards tournament, where people can pay to play against other players, and from what I have learned it’s kind of like Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh that is aimed at Teens but brings all ages (there was an old man playing these games, it was interesting). Those games had a big impact on people looking at comics or buying comics. People tended to linger longer in the New Release…

I get the same thing every Saturday and Sunday, which is a spinach and mushroom omelet. I drank a couple glasses of water with that. I walked around campus and played Pokémon for a couple hours. I haven’t been able to play as much as I would like since school is demanding. Never grabbed dinner because I never felt hungry, school is starting to be a lot and nothing seems appetizing in Stamper. Monday, September 19th: I…

connect with their friends, which creates competition and encouragement from peers. (Chao et al 2013). Exergames can also be developed for smartphones and are influenced by SDT (Peng et al 2012). For example, the summer of 2016 saw the launch of ‘Pokemon Go’, which reached audiences globally. The app was so successful as gamers were intrinsically motivated to play with their friends, yet extrinsically motivated by the element of competition in the app. This overall encouraged users to be more…

In elementary school, I was treated as a nerdy wimp by almost everyone one in my grade and had lots of people tease me including girls which increased my weakness even further. The main reasons people saw me this way was because wore glasses, was skinny, smart, and carried the weirdest backpack ever. It was a transparent Crayola backpack that made everyone tease me but even at that age I just didn’t care enough about what others thought of me since I loved that thing. My parents also raised me…

overseas, such as electronics for entertainment like Nintendo, Tamagotchi and PlayStation among others, revived Japan's confidence. Anime, manga and music were also increasingly gaining attention from abroad. Some examples are Studio Ghibli movies, Pokemon, etc. 1 Japan started gaining…
