My WoW schooling



My mom took these photos. My friends and I, or my brother and I spend a lot of time mastering the game. It is more fun than you can imagine. Sometimes I have to write names down so I can log off a toon to send money to them from another toon. I can't always remember how to spell out names from memory. But my mom is impressed with my handwriting, considering we don't spend much time writing at this stage or age.

I wrote down a toon name, Lirn, the other day and my mom loves the way I wrote it! It is on the back of a Valentine card I got from a friend. She loves my writing. I'm picking up on upper case and lower case translations very easily. When I play WoW I have to know what the upper case letter looks like on the keyboard, because names and places are written with the first letter in caps and the rest in lower case.

I know all my numbers and how to type them in. My friend in the photo was not able to play the game for a few weeks and now he is able to play it again. His mom realized how important the game is to him and how much he is learning. His reading and writing has improved a lot since playing the game. He goes to school too. His mom and dad are school teachers for a living.

I love my WoW schooling time!

One of my WoW toons and pets


This is one of my World of Warcraft toons. It is a level 56 hunter. I have a rider and a pet tiger plus a companion cat. I am really lucky to have parents who see all the benefits of gaming. This game is for teens, but my parents play with me and we have a lot of fun together. I have friends on WoW as well. My life is pretty awesome, and I know it.
