Years later, the technique was and still is used in wifi. Wifi has shaped my life and helped me with my busy schedule, friends and family, and my education.
The past few years, I have had to juggle several clubs and after school activities on top of homework. Being the forgetful person that I am, the calendar and reminders app have been fruitful. Most of my teachers update their calendar everyday, informing students of further tests and quizzes as well as assignments. Birthdays and anniversaries are also easy to plan for when you don't have to worry about forgetting.

Emergencies are also a time where I can always depend on wifi to help me. I can call my family or friends and I won't have to worry. Over spring and summer break, wifi is the only thing keeping me close to my friends. I don't see them for two months, which is a long time when you are used to seeing them practically every weekday. My social life would nonexistent without

    My view upon death penalty before watching the video about Darryl hunt’s case, was strongly against it. I truly believe that we have no say in who is to take someone’s life.

I strongly believe that incarceration for the reminder of their life is in my view, the most extreme decision as a society to make in determining an individuals future.…
