During this time, I have enjoyed nurturing the imagination and what can be done if we allow ourselves to dream. To me, the world of fantasy has always been a door to the mind and video games a place to explore what we couldn’t possibly do in reality. I'm a mother of three and nanny to two lovely children. When we play, I see and hear how a quiet young man can coordinate and strategize a mission involving five to nine other players. How we can turn a valley into a kingdom or explore a new frontier with dragons and faeries. I have always encouraged my students and kids to believe in themselves and never think that they can’t simply because that is what they have been told. We are all capable of dreaming; the difference is that some of us take that dream and do what we can to make it real no matter if we have been told it can't happen.view less
