The distant sound of the bath alarm awoke me; my mother must have wanted a bath. I rolled about lethargically for a couple of minutes before sitting up and getting out of bed. The cyborg housebot was already making my bed, and it soon looked as though no one had ever slept in it.
For my transport to school that day, I decided to opt for my hover board. As elegantly as a swan gliding through the water, I sailed through the air. On route, I was feeling thirsty. Luckily I spotted a hovering ice cream man, so I stopped for a drink. My thirst quenched, I proceeded on to school, which was by then only a few blocks away. Along the way, mum rang me on my wrist videophone, I was a little surprised

Everyone congregated in the yard to play. Mel was especially good at dodging the ball. Like a humming bird around nectar, the ball hovered in front of me. I pulled back my foot and let loose a ferocious shot. It shot forward with quite some speed and velocity and cannoned into the side of Mark. He was knocked down instantly and walked off, a little disappointed at being eliminated so early in the game. Luckily I managed to last a little longer, but eventually Mel got me out. She actually went on to win the game by eliminating John Munk.
Third period was PE, and that day we were playing football. I was placed in goal for the first half, I saved a penalty and tipped a curling free kick over the bar. In the second half I was a defender; this was my favourite position. When the ball hovered in front of me, I just either passed it to a player, if there was sufficient time, or if someone was bombing down the field at me I'd just let loose a doom ball special. Those always made them think twice about using that approach again. Our team eventually won by just one goal. After a poor clearance, Luke scored with a tremendous volley from the edge of the eighteen-yard box.
For lunch we all met near the entrance, eating our sandwiches at the picnic tables. We chatted for a while afterwards. Mark, who was absent that day as he was ill, would normally sit with us. The conversation
The documentary Dream Worlds 3 was not much of an eye opener for me, due to the fact that I have been aware of this type of stuff my whole life. In this documentary, it shows the viewers how women are sexualized and looked at as nothing more than a piece of meat who will do anything for some money. It also gave insight on where this takes place, and it seemed clear that it mainly happens in the music industry and pornography industry. For example, in the music industry, a lot of the artist had music videos that sexualized women and degraded them as well. In a lot of the music videos, they had men throwing money on the women, pouring alcohol on them and also making them do whatever they pleased. You might think that not everyone is aware of
Everyone enjoys the sweet taste of victory and the feeling of accomplishing a goal, especially in a video game. However, video games are not just about winning.

For this assignment, I have organized my responses into a report based on the following periods of development: infancy and toddlerhood (birth to 30 months), early childhood (3 to 5 years), middle childhood (6-11 years), and adolescence (12-18 years). The last section of my paper includes my responses to the personal reflection questions.
The Virtual Academy of Lafourche (VAL), organized in 2012, is a Louisiana Type 1, Virtual Charter School in partnership with Lafourche Parish School Board, providing unique models of instruction for students’ k-12.

I did not value speeding through my courses having a sole purpose of finishing the class as quickly as possible. Additionally, retaining the given information was valuable to me. I longed to reach my maximum potential as a student. Lesson after lesson, I took incredibly thorough notes. I discovered that studying directly after completing the day’s work resulted in me remembering the information more so than on another occasion. Consequently, this became a part of my daily routine. I implemented intense study sessions prior to my exams, ensuring I would score my highest. I can recall studying for at least five hours on a regular basis. One aspect of Florida Virtual School I found came in handy was the ability to contact my teachers regularly.
In your life, have you ever thought about using virtual reality? Have you ever taken to time to actually look at and think about both sides of virtual reality? Well virtual reality, is good and many people doubt that because of all the cons. But there a lot of pros that defeat these cons. It won't only help you, but it can make you happier and proud. People like to believe in a lot of things, but not everyone sees both sides of everything, especially when it comes to virtual reality. Virtual reality, it develops people it guides people. It’s like being you and creating yourself in the form that you can feel best in. It can be used to do a lot of things but many people are blind to that and just see everything one sided. Virtual reality should be allowed because it’s helpful to struggling or disabled people, therefore virtual reality isn't a cancer to the world, it’s a solution.
Attachment is defined as the positive emotional bond that develops between a child and a particular individual. Of the four major patterns of attachment (secure, avoidant, ambivalent and disorganized-disoriented), I would consider Blair securely attached. Like other children who have a secure attachment pattern, Blair uses me, her mother, as a type of home base (Feldman, 2012). At 8 months Blair is cautious and shy in new situations. She has a typical fear of strangers but will eventually warm up somewhat to a new situation. Blair shows a strong preference for me over others. I am always talking and thinking about Blair. When my husband and I find time to go out, I find myself worrying and calling grandma to
Minecraft is a game where the player uses their imagination to shape the world around them using the resources they find. In the world everything is shaped like a block or a cube, this includes the trees, the dirt, the water, the clouds, even the sun, everything. This simple game hasn’t even been released yet but has already sold over one million copies. Minecraft was created by one man, Markus “Notch” Persson, and this is his story.
It was about 3 minutes before the time was called. The red light from the score billboard showing “2-1” represented our team’s frustration to win that one more point in order to break even. The cheering sound of the crowd reverberated through the ground; chased by the other two players from the opposing side, I ran as fast as I could toward the opponent’s goal; it was our last chance of scoring. My heart started pounding rapidly, I ran closer to the goal, and took the shot. I missed.
Video games in today’s society have become very popular. Every new game that comes out to be played and conquered by the average gamer has its own category. There are several other types of genres of games that people play but because of big hit titles and the new popular game systems like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, people become more interested in a game that is well known than a game they have never even heard of before. Every game has its own storyline and own way of how it unfolds and where the game ends according to game play.

Since the Early 70’s video games have been giving a bad name. Parents state that video games rot the minds of children and are influencing them do be violent. These accusations are far from the truth. In my research I found that there are many positive effects of gaming. Some of these effects are increased skills, creativity, general knowledge, and also help those in need. Parents can also take proper precautions and look into a game before buying it to see if it meets the criteria discussed in this paper.
