Put down the video games...

When I was younger, I was never allowed to play video games. My parents wouldn’t buy me game systems or let me go to friends house just to play games. It always bothered me and I didn’t know why it was such a big deal.

Instead of staying inside, my parents always sent my sister and I outside to play in the yard or go on a bike ride. They always wanted us to be active. If we did stay inside, it was to do craft time or create plays to show my parents. We never just sat in front of a screen.

Now that I’m older, I know that my parents were doing the right thing. My sister and I are social and active. When we got older, we used our time to volunteer with our church mission trips and around our own community. We made a difference by building houses, cleaning parks and donating our time to shelters and non-profit events. I strongly feel that if I had been allowed to sit in front of a screen all day, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do those things.

Jane McGonigal says that playing video games can eventually save the world. As much as I loved what she had to say, and I hope that it will someday work, I know for a fact that people can do more than that. Instead of sitting in front of that computer and playing games that might one day help society, get up and do something now. Volunteering is a great way to make an impact. Clean a park, do a Habitat for Humanity project, or volunteer at a shelter. It is much more satisfying than sitting around all day. And instead of helping the virtual people that you surround yourself with, you can actually help in your own community.  If we all made more of an effort to volunteer and help our society in the real world, we would all be in a better place.
