Credit hours for a master's or doctoral degree may include formal course work, independent study, research, preparation of a thesis or dissertation, and such other scholarly activities as are approved by the candidate's plan committee and the Dean of the Graduate School.

As a result of these above requirements it became necessary for Michiko, a software engineering major, to engage in the world of Digimon Online. Since Michiko was a very studious individual she originally balked at the idea of researching a mere faddish virtual game and basing a dissertation around her observations. However, her professor had been insistent explaining that aside from the military, entertainment was one of the biggest employers of software engineers. If she wanted a good job, Michiko would have to learn how to appeal to the gaming population. Reluctantly she accepted the task.
Although it seems unlikely, Michiko was once childlike. That all changed when she realized what being an older sister meant. Being an older sister meant setting a good example. It meant reaching so high that you could feel the heat of the distant stars. It meant doing everything on your own so your parents would be able to help your younger brother when he couldn’t pay for school. And even then all your high reaching, everything you were doing for him pushed him away. You became the ideal he had to strive for and you hated it. You didn’t want him to be you, you wanted him to enjoy childhood, and you wanted him to have friends who were real. From personal experience you knew how much it hurt to curl up in bed knowing that you’d never be invited to that one girl’s party. You wanted the person you cared so much about to have more than just the dry pages of a book to comfort them.
Yes, Michiko cared deeply for her little brother, but she also envied him. All her time spent reading and doing schoolwork had left her with little social skills, if any. In addition, she hardly remembered what is was like to have fun, but Michiko did have vague memories of playing with her brother in long grass behind their apartment complex. Maybe she still could loosen up and relive her childhood before it was too late.
