J: Does the computer help you out to find what you want?

JC: Yes, It gives me clues to be able to help me move on to the next level or it helps me get different moves to be able to beat the other wrestlers. I apply the signature moves and that wrestler is Done!

J: How do get the information on what you need off the computer?

JC: I sometimes have to read what it says sometimes my mommy has to help me read what is on it because the words are too big for me to read or I see the moves on You Tube. I like to see it because it makes it easier to apply the move to the wrestler.

If we saw any of the shows like Monday Night Raw or Smack Down. We talk about what we saw and if we liked who won the match. It is so cool to be able to talk to my friends about the shows. We sometimes try to you know do the moves on each other. We get to talk a lot at lunch time and sometimes when we have recess or specials.

J: At school do you get to read books for fun?

 JC:  I read WWE Books sometimes we do when we have free time or lunch and recess. But I like to come home and use the computer before uh I do homework its fun for me to do this or my teacher reads different books.

J: What do you do on the computer?
