How I First Got My Cell Phone And Why It Was Beneficial To Get One

Cell phones were important during high school. The teachers told us that we can use our cell phones to check our grades. I needed to use my cell phone to text or call my friends and classmates. My generation liked using social media because we can share pictures and videos, especially when it comes to extracurricular activities.

After eighth grade, I asked my father if I can get a cell phone during the summertime. I saw that a lot of my classmates and friends have cell phones. One time, I said, “Daddy, if you don’t get me a cell phone, then you are a bad daddy!” My family was laughing when they heard me say that.

One day during that summer, my father and I went to a store to buy a cell phone. I had to choose either a Samsung cell phone or an iPhone. I chose a Samsung cell phone. The model at that time was Samsung Galaxy S5. It had pretty features and backgrounds. A lot of my friends and classmates have iPhones. That did not stop me from using the Samsung Galaxy S5. I know that someone bought an iPhone to fit in. However, people should see which type of cell phone they like instead of seeing which type of cell phone most people have.

It was good that I got a cell phone at that time. Cell phones were important during high school. The teachers told us that we can use our cell phones to check our grades. I needed to use my cell phone to text or call my friends and classmates. My generation liked using social media because we can share pictures and videos, especially when it comes to extracurricular activities. Cell phones were one of the reasons why high school was fun and exciting.

Right now, I do not have the Samsung Galaxy S5 anymore. I upgraded my cell phone to a newer model. I will always remember the Samsung Galaxy S5 since it was with me throughout my four years of high school and the beginning years of college. I will also never forget my first experience with a cell phone.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
