It was a slow beginning in exploring Second life. There was an unpleasant fright that I experience at the beginning. I was afraid to move or make a slight mistake. I was scared to get drown in the ocean. I felt a terrible panic inside when I was in the open desert surrounded by sand and few trees.

It was little by little I was introduced to the second life. Nergiz tried to coax me in this adventure. But I was afraid to start. She gave me friendship; she suggested the Casablanca which I hesitated to discover because of my ignorance. Sometimes, I would log in, and then log out immediately for a fair to get lost. I would report to my family I was lost in an ocean of Sahara. I was afraid to die in the second life.

I had to adjust my desk computer and laptop for second life, using the “Dxdiag” method. I formatted my desk computer to provide more space for second life. I had to make sure that my graphic card suits effectively this new tool. Also, I doubled the debit of internet connection.

At the beginning, I would ask my friend, Nowhereman, about SL. I would say it is second language. As days passed by, I discovered the real meaning of this virtual environment when I figure out it is used for teaching and creating an alter ego. It is a sort of psychological relief. You have the right to choose even your name to belong to a biog family. You can choose your garments, skin, color…

My smooth introduction was done first by Bon Bon and second by Viki who taught me a lot of things such as editing my appearance, moving, using my inventory, and editing my navigation bar. Since the, I have visited many places as New York, Turkey, second life sites….I have taken many pictures and changed my avatar…
I hope I have completed all my assignments.
