For about as long as I could remember, my wish has always been to fit in, and be well-liked by everyone. I began acting a certain way that wasn’t me, and even began to lose my identity. I followed all trends and began to lose more and more of my identity as time chipped away. This all stopped as soon as high school began. High school was such a disquieting transition along with all of the new changes I’d be facing. New classmates, teachers, subjects, and responsibilities. I was now required to think twice before every move and concentrate on everything more adequately. All these changes made me begin to realize that I should learn more about my identity and do what makes me tranquil and content as a person.…
You, Anthony and I were in the cafeteria playing on our Ipads. Anthony took your phone off the table and handed it to me under the table. You saw it and took it back. Then Anthony made a gesture and it looked like he wanted me to grab it( I had no intentions of stealing it). so I did grab it and went to the locker room. I found a paper clip on the floor and picked it up and took the sim card out just in case it rang and I got a Jug. as I was going to put the sim card in the back of the case I saw you and Anthony and I got scared because Anthony popped up out of nowhere and I dropped the sim card. when you went back to the cafeteria you turned on the phone and it said "no service" so you checked the side of it (where the sim card slot is)…
In the midst of the sudden movement I managed to lose my phone somewhere in my bed wrapped in sheets. I began to feel around in the dark until finally the tips of my fingers met with the plastic case of my Iphone5s. I turned it on. My heart sank immediately after checking the time on my phone. “11:03.”…
1. I choose to 5S my backpack because it had been causing small annoyances in my everyday life. For example, I would spend an unnecessary amount of time looking for a writing utensil, my keys, or wallet. This became a problem when I needed to find these items in a hurry. I also had trouble finding papers (and nametags) I needed in the main part of my bag, because there were many unlabeled folders and papers scattered around.…
One say, my newspaper was gone from its hiding spot. Weird-for four months I’ve kept that paper hidden.And now that I’m finally ready to show it to Tori, it turns out I lost it. How careless can I get?…
Close your eyes and imagine all the good parts of your life in one place and then just flip it upside down. That is what happened to me my whole life and now I ain’t normal, I am screwed up. The difference between screwed up people and normal people is that we had a screwed up young life so nothing phases us in the long run. There were three events in my life, which were caused by the people closest to me, that screwed me up.…
Today is one of those rare days in which it is raining and I’m sitting on the windowsill waiting for a sign. Something that says ‘move on’. There is still a part of me that hopes every day that you're alive and I haven't found you yet. I will have searched the far corners of the earth before I let myself believe you dead. I dream of you every night, then wake with the bitter taste of regret fresh in my mouth. You abandoned me. You have marooned me on this earth, and it is dark without your light by my side. All that fills my mind is when you were still beside me. I distinctly recall one summer when we were not quite children anymore and still too young to be adults. It was raining so hard that the streets were flooded for the first time in eighty years, and you had insisted on escaping to the desert.…
So I was stuck with my parents old ragged Samsung Galaxy S3. The next week we went to Colorado for a family vacation to Keystone Colorado. We went skiing for 6 hours straight and my whole family was tired. When we returned to the condo we ate lunch and the smell of hamburgers and frijoles was in the air. When we were about to leave I had to go to the restroom. “SPLASH!” it heard as my phone dropped in the toilet. I was thinking what will my parents reaction would be this time. My parents ended up madder at me this time but I promised if I got a new phone I would be more responsible.…
The one thing that most people will always bring when they go out somewhere is their phone. I use to feel naked if I didn't have my phone with me wherever I went. I had the tendency to constantly check on Facebook for my friends' updates and pictures. But the first time I had no choice but to leave my phone behind was when I went to Outdoor Science Camp in eighth grade. When I found out that we weren't allowed to bring our phones, I was completely lost and didn't…
I’ve been using technology ever since I was in elementary. And as I grew older it became a bigger and bigger part of my life. When I reached middle school, technology was part of my daily life, using it for homework, entertainment, and research. During this time, I’ve become and avid gamer, I own all consoles and a game collection big enough to bankrupt a small country.…
Moving on is easy but what you leave behind is what makes it hard. Once you get to a certain age in your life you know you have to move on sometime. I know times are hard but you have to push yourself toward what you really want in life even if it means moving away from what you love.…
Most of us panic if we can’t find our cell phone for more than two minutes. The panic is caused because we are afraid of the amount of information that we might lose or miss. We have become so attached to electronic devices and the instant gratification that they provide…
The disappearance of my dad changed everything. It all started with a phone call. The message, echoing in my ear like a gunshot, was clear: my dad will move to China without us. At the time my father did not tell me the exact reason for his departure, but I read recently in a magazine that he was escaping from a group of lobbying businessmen, or more specifically, a group of gangsters. He was gone for a year, and, my seemingly perfect life was completely destroyed. At least I thought that was the case just after my dad left us.The group of men who took my dad away from my family was not only after my dad, but they were also after my family. For safety issue, my entire family was forced out from the tranquil life that we used to have. The change in my life was so big that I thought I would never live through this transition.…
On a gorgeous Tuesday afternoon, Alioska and I decided to break a norm. Aventura mall was the perfect location for our sociology experiment. The massive mall is successfully loud, busy, and active. We immediately went to work.…
I'm here to talk to you kids about texting while driving. I know, I know you have heard this speech a million times before, but I hope that this time you will really listen and learn from my mistakes before it's to late. I was really just a normal teenager. Seventeen. Doing pretty well in school. Had a great group of friends. I had a really great life going for me.…
