Change Myself and Make Me Stronger

I am a very quiet person. I really do not know why I am so. Perhaps it is genetic, or perhaps it is from the way I was brought up. When I was nine or ten, my parents divorced and then I lived with my mother. My mother was a quiet person too, and my mother often spent a whole day without saying a word to me. So the two of us could spend days under the same roof together without anyone saying a word to the other, and I was getting quite used to that eventually. When I was fifteen, my mother wanted me to have a better education, so she sent me to reunite with my father, who had immigrated to the United States years earlier. I am currently living with my father, but he is very different from my mom. He is a bon vivant. He immediately saw my problem, and tried every possible way to open me up, making me more and more talkative every day. Once I left my cocoon, I made many friends, and became more and more out-going. However, it is difficult for me because I was a new immigrant and I just knew 26 words. I didn’t know how to speak English, and I didn’t know what people were saying in front of me. Personality changing is not always easy, but I have to change that, because quiet person   fear to face with people and quiet person so hard to learn another language, as well as quiet person live so lonely every day, he need some friend to talk.

A quiet person doesn’t know how to talk to people, and he doesn’t know how to speak his mind. He fears that if he says something people don’t like, he will be even more alienated. A quiet person does not have any security. It means he just wants to stay with himself in his space, and he doesn’t want to talk to the others, just like me. I am a quiet man, but I don’t think I have any problem mentally. I just don’t want to talk to everyone, because I don’t know how to talk with them, or know what I should talk about. I really don’t have any idea. I like to play computer games, because the games can make me feel happy and excited. It also allows me have to have more security. I don’t know why I am so, but I am living in a small room, an enclosed space in Brooklyn. And I like night, because night is dark, and people can not see each other clearly in the street. So when I am walking in the street, people will just hurry away to their home, and no one will want to see me and no one will care about who I am. In contrast, when I am walking on the street in broad daylight, people may see me and approach me, and I will be afraid and scared. I don’t know what will happen to me, It’s crazy to believe, right? But it’s real.

Learning English is hard for a quiet person, because if I want to learn English well, I must talk to someone, and a quiet person doesn’t know how to talk to people. So it is always a challenge to me. When I first arrived here, I didn’t know how to speak English and I was living in Tennessee with my father. The first day when I went to a high school, I was scared; the school did not have any Chinese and no one could speak Chinese so I was lost. I was like a fool in the school, because I didn’t understand what people were saying, and someone made fun of me or even laughed at me. I always just smiled, and then an angel came to help me – a teacher. She could speak English and Spanish well but no Chinese. But she tried to teach me English and never gave up on me. I was hard to teach, but I was young. Although I was learning English but I also played a lot of game in my free time every day. But without knowing why, my speaking improved much within the first few months, and I did some progress with English. Although my speaking and grammar is still not very good, but I can speak a little English now, and I am happy and proud about myself, so I am very thankful to her.

A quiet person has a lot of weaknesses, like having no friends, being lonely, and maybe even having autism. I don’t know whether I am autistic or not, but I am sure I don’t have any friend and I am lonely. My father always tells me if I want to learn English, I should have more friends, become more talkative, and don’t be shy and scared whether I am saying anything wrong; I should just say it, and don’t care about when people laugh at me when I am wrong, be myself and do what I want. But I know that, and understand what my father is saying, but I just can’t. I don’t know why; maybe it is my problem. I must be by myself, and I tried to make some friends in my high school days or hope someone could be my best friend in my life. It is my first priority in life; I need to do it, I hope I can get what I want, and I thank my old friends for not leaving me alone.

Personality changing is difficult, but if I want to have a great future and life, I must be willing to change my weakness. Although my weaknesses are still here, but I am changing; I am now better than the old me. I have friends when I need them, and we talk a lot of interesting things and I am still learning English. Because it’s the U.S., and if I want to live here, I must know English. I am still shy with my new classmates, but I am trying to make them know more about me.

Research paper final essay

ESports

During 21^st Century, a lot of young people like play ESports, it can make young people interest and get money and have teamwork awareness. People meet stranger don’t know how to talk each other and don’t know what should they talk, because they don’t know they are common interest, but in the internet, although we are don’t know each other and we don’t know where are you from, but we are play same game, so we have same common interest, and different color people if have same interest, it can make they are close together or will be good friend. ESports have a lot of nerd and Silent people like it, it doesn’t need people to talk other, it just wanted to silent and nerd people type or play. People in the society, must be know how to talk with someone, you must be having good relationships or power make people like, if you don’t have it, you must be out. However, in the ESports world, relationships and power no important for that, you should have good skill, when you have good skill then people will like you and follow you, you can make live in the twitch, and people watch you playing game, sometime people would donate money for you if you play well or he is your fans. ESports can make people have interest with it and ESports can make you get money and ESports have big trend in future.

A lot of young people like play computer game, whatever game have some player play it, because the game can make him proud and interest also relax. From NYTimes article, “The whole point of a massively multiplayer online game like WOW or EverQuest is that players can take pride that their virtual accomplishments and wealth reflect real human effort, determination, ingenuity and skill.”   Some people no confidence in his life and work. Every day meet to boss, too scare him, always think did I do wrong thing, will boss want to fire me? but in the online game, you don’t need to thinking too much, you can do anything what you want, and it can make you proud and confidence. And when you play some game, that game need you to do some mission, it’s kind of like give you target, you just need to follow the target, and finish it, this game can make you have human effort and determination, when you have human effort and determination, you can use it in your real life and it will help you close your dream and finish half. ““Relaxing video games put people in a good mood.  And when people are in a good mood, they are more inclined to help others, and that’s better for everyone,” Bushman said.” The article implying when you play relaxing video game, that game can make you happy, and when you get happy, you would like to help others, and make you get more happiness. so ESports have a lot of game, you should choose one better for you play. Someone like to play violent games, because it can make you excitement and stimulation, someone like to play relaxing video game, because it can make you relax and relieve stress.  “Most games involve a huge number of mental tasks, and playing can boost any one of them. Fast-paced, action-packed video games have been shown, in separate studies, to boost visual acuity, spatial perception, and the ability to pick out objects in a scene. Complex, strategy-based games can improve other cognitive skills, including working memory and reasoning.”  The article imply we should play a lot of video game, because the game is too hard, you should use your brain to think how to play and finish the mission. Its same like homework, you should think how to solve that problem and find the answer, when you play the video game, you should think how to play and where the next step going? And find the mission station, it should use a lot of Brain Cells to solve problem. So I think video game it’s good for teenage or young man to play it.

People like play video game, and hope they will be professional gamer because if the professional gamers won the final game, and they can get 1 million dollars, and each one can get 200,000 dollars. From NYTimes, “global revenue for games is $20 billion higher than the music industry’s and is chasing that of the movie business — the games industry has turned its ambitions toward the lucrative world of professional video game competition, widely known as e-sports.” the article implying in this 21st century, the game having already upended the entertainment world, and its big trend for video game and we know a lot of people play video game because they know if you can play well, some game company will get you join the company game group, and work for company. But I thought it is same, because you can still play game what you like and you don’t need to paid rent and gas, just play game every day with your teammate, and you still have wage. That is good idea. And we know some college agree student play E-sports and support them, also have some school have E-sports club, welcome student join it. “This fall, Robert Morris University in Chicago will dole out over $500,000 in athletic scholarships to gamers, the first of their kind in the United States, and Ivy League universities have intercollegiate gaming. Last week, the web giant Amazon announced it was buying Twitch, a hugely popular video streaming service used by gamers, for $970 million in cash.” We can see that the E-sports is how popular for now, because investors like to money invested or buy about E-sports, I think E-sports can make a lot of money for investors, so E-sports is good Investments. “For the last two years, another publisher, Activision Blizzard, has put up $1 million in prize money for a championship in Los Angeles for its combat shooting game Call of Duty.”  We know that ordinary people have work to live in the U.S and they can get $3000 left of one month, so if $3000/one month, they can get 36000 of one year. However, you are pro gamer, and work for your company, you can get your wage, also when you are winner for final game, you still can get another wage. If one million for 5 people, each people can get $200,000. otherwise, you still have time to do Live in the twitch, its hugely popular video streaming service used by gamers, people will donate money for you, if you are funny and play good game.

E-sports is big trend for future, some people play the game as a career, because games can make they get more money, why they need to do hard work? Just play the game with your teammate 7-8 hour or more of each day, and doing well at game competitions. “Top video game players in South Korea are household names. Millions of people tune in to watch game competitions on television. The largest Internet portal, Naver, has its own section covering the results.” The article implying the video game too hot and popular in the South Korea, people like to play video game and watch game competitions. And “Fourteen years ago, you had a government that gave a thumbs-up to e-sports — it was professionally organized, and it was on television, so it became a mainstream thing,” we can see that the government is support E-sports growing, so why we need to stop play E-sport? The E-sports a mainstream thing, we need to more know more E-sports, we should know how E-sports too popular in these year, will it stop the development for next few year? and, “Since its debut in 2009, League of Legends has evolved from a small population of desktop-computer warriors into a full-scale phenomenon. In the process, it has become an e-sport.” The article implying the League of Legends too hot, a lot of people play that game, it making a lot of money for riot company.

E-sports is good for everyone to play it, you should have a reasonable allocation of time to play it, it can make you relax after work, and it can make you get money also E-sports have big trend for next few days. People have hobby to play game, we should respect them, we cannot kill them hobby.
