happen in a moment or gradually over time. The most important thing about change is whether you like it or not, you have to deal with it. My life changed in one moment, but I have learned to move forward. On Christmas 2010, I was excited to get the Wii gaming console. As a result, I ended up playing my games for hours that day. When I decided to stop, I went downstairs with my brother. Like any big brother/little sister relationship, we would play fight all the time. Who knew something so…

Children are getting relieved of their childhoods and being moved into the generation of screens. They are no longer forced outside to have fun, they now play on “ video games, cellphones, Wii games, iPods and TV’s” where little physical activity is needed (Mesmerized by Screens). The funny thing is, that the parents of these children fail to realize that this is happening. Their children are being deprived of fun and their childhoods would…

would sometimes put on a movie that is educationally focused towards the topic that they are learning about, or in the P.E. setting, the teacher could use a Zumba video to get the kids moving and increasing their heart rates.

that could keep us active is what we did for fun. But one of these times something bad happened that I couldn't own up to. One day I had Josh, Jalen, and Carson over. We started off the day hanging out upstairs in the living room playing Wii Sports and Mario Kart. Once in awhile we would become angry, then wrestle each other to the floor trying to tap one another out by a chokehold. Every time we would do that my dad or my mom would come over to the living room and told us to stop,…

I guess readers will have to decide for themselves which one mine is. To start off I am Mellenie Mae Pearson and I was born July 25, 1998. Some parents pick their children’s names because it is pretty,unique,or it’s a family name. I fall in none of these categories. I am happy to say I am named after someone. I am named after John…

My parents have restricted the use of technology in our household. No Xbox, no Gameboy, no Wii, no Nintendo ds, no computer, nothing. The only time I would use a computer was during computer lab class in school. Up until sixth grade, the minimal technology contact did not affect me making friends. Why does it suddenly matter now?

Patients in hospitals, ranging from children to teens and seniors have all participated in playing Pokemon Go. It is another form of nontraditional therapy which was quickly accepted like the Nintendo Wii. Occupational therapists have approved it because it improves “ambulation, standing balance, standing tolerance, hand-eye coordination, problem solving, impulse control, and fine motor skills” (Turbin).

my mind was empty. I figured maybe a nap would bring ideas into my head. I laid down by Captain Fluffy, my pet bearded dragon, and proceeded to take a nap. When I got up from my nap I completely forgot about my essay and started playing Mario Kart Wii with my brothers.
