Today, I played a game called Tilitfactor. I found it at http://tiltfactor.org/layoff/. I got interested in this game because it was quite different, in a confusing way, from the other games, it kind of looked like memory match.

Tilitfactor is about matching the job qualities of people. In order to gain money, you need to match three workers in a row. It is somewhat like connect four, but it only does not work diagonally and you just need to "connect three." Plus, just because people look like they are dressing the same, they are not "matchable." So when you click on a person, you have to make sure that you read their jobs careers.

The game works like this: you click on a person. Once you click him/her, you receive a brief description about what the person does. That way, you can match them to others, like I said before.

Not all games are the same. Some are board games played for developing or and/or improving logical skills. Others seem to be designed to kill boredom since game-makers are trying to make money. While some are played simply for addiction. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: to develop or create skills. I enjoy playing games because it makes time productive. By this I mean that instead of doing something that is not really getting your attention, playing games can set your mind to focus on it. Also, it can prevent you from worrying about what's happening at the time, like all the things going through your head that might have given you a bad day.

My experience on YouthVoices has helped me develop skills over the year. I was able to learn about how I learn best.

I remember my teacher told me "Why are people behaving so cruel to animals? -Are we forgetting that they're our friends?" This made me think a lot because animals are our friends!
