Why Should Video Games Be Considered A Sport? SSR

Is it just me, or am I the only one who thinks video games shouldn't be a sport? Video games require no athletic ability, the very definition of Sport is an activity involving Physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. All video games supply is entertainment for those with nothing else to do. The only video game that would be considered a sport is Wii. Games like Mario Bros, Sonic, Halo, and Call Of Duty,
are not sports. The definition of Video Game is a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a television screen or other display screen. See, nowhere in there does it say anything about it being an athletic sport, or any sport.

Sports are soccer, football, basketball, baseball, track, snowboarding, skiing, volleyball, tennis, and a whole bunch more that I don't want to list. There have been countless debates on this topic because video games are a competition, yes I agree that it involves competition but it is like chess, it is a mind exerciser. Spending to much time on video games is just not healthy, whether you consider it a sport or not. You should try playing an hour of video games then go outside for an hour and play a game like basketball, then tell which one you think is a sport. I bet you will say basketball. Video games may be a fun hobby, but I think it should stay like that, a hobby.

Reading is my Passion (PB)

Everyone has a passion right? I mean it doesn’t have to be something you absolutely love; it can also be something you really hate. In this case it is something I love, reading. I know some of you think it’s lame to read and that people should be going out and doing fun stuff, but reading to me is fun. It is an escape for me, it’s like you become the character in the story that you get to know and fall in love with, and when they die or another amazing character dies you cry or feel very sad because they are gone. When I was reading the Vamp Chronicles, Darkness Falls by Christin Lovell, one of the most awesome characters died! It was horrible! I started reading avidly about two years ago when my mom got me a Sony Reader. I got a ton of books but I got easily bored. Then my mom got herself a Kindle Fire, but after I got ahold of it she almost never even saw it. After reading a couple of the books it's like I couldn't stop. When I start reading a book I can't put it down until I finish it. I have over 70 books on my Kindle Fire and I have read them all at least twice. My favorite book series is The Fallen Star Series, by Jessica Sorensen, I think it's awesome! I love to read more than anything, if someone tries to take away a book while I am reading it, I will freak out! This might seem weird but, when I'm reading a book I always read the ending first. Because I think that if the ending is awesome then the beginning must be great. Reading helps distract me from the real world and all its problems and mine. Instead of being forced to face reality and real life, I can focus on something that can never happen but seems so real. The good thing about books is that they always have a happy ending, see that's one thing I like about books. Life almost never has any happy endings but books almost always do.

"Wattpad" FC

You all know what apps are right? If you don't then you have probably been living under a rock since smart phones came out a while ago. A quick definition is a software you install in your phone for a certain purpose, its full name is an application. My favorite app is "Wattpad," this app is used for reading and writing. You can write stories on your account and you can read other peoples stories by adding them to your library. You can message or comment on a story you are reading or have read to ask questions or give your opinion on the story.The book format on "Wattpad" is in parts, and you can have as many parts to the story that you want .You can write about all kinds of generas such as teen fiction, vampire, romance, science fiction, fantasy, humor, paranormal, mystery/thriller, horror, adventure, historical fiction, fan fiction, poetry, short story, non teen fiction, chicklit, action, werewolf, spiritual, non fiction, classics, watty awards, and other. My favorite ones are teen fiction, vampire, romance, and werewolf. I have quite a few of those types of books. There are thousand of accounts on "Wattpad" and millions of books of all sorts. I found the app by accident last year. I was googling something for a friend, and when I clicked on the picture it took me to a story on the site that the picture was attached to. I looked around the site and decided I liked it so I got the app and immediately started adding books to my library. I know a lot of people who have the app or are on the site. Most of my friends have it and I got my sisters to get it to. I like this app a lot because I love to read and write stories and books.
