Hi, I’m a galaxy s6 samsung phone. I am not very new but I am not badly damaged either. My owner bought me in June of 2016. I am black in color and have a light blue case covering me. My life started in a factory where all of my pieces were put together to form a phone. I was then put in a box and sent to the Verizon store in Missoula, MT. Life was good hanging out in the box, although I didn’t have to sit there long. Shortly after I arrived I was given to Maddie and programmed with all of her information that I would keep safe. Life is good. Everyday life is busy. I go almost everywhere with Maddie and she goes a lot of places. A normal school day starts off with me being unplugged from the charger at 100% at about 7:00 in the morning. Normally, …show more content…

On all of the weekdays she only keeps me on for about fifteen minutes, then turns me off for about two and a half hours. It’s a long time to wait but I know I will have more use after track. Once those two hours are up I am used to once again check texts. Maddie normally texts or calls her dad to see where he is and soon we are off to home! As soon as I get home and I am set on the counter until she is done with her homework. How long this takes depends on the day and the classes she has that …show more content…

This sometimes takes a while and drains my battery. Mostly during this time she sends snapchats to her friends. Maddie also regularly checks instagram and scrolls through lots of photos and videos until she has liked everything. I still don’t get why she has to like everything, but who am I to judge? The app she spends the most time checking is facebook. Let’s just say that some of her friends post way too much! I can tell she doesn’t like it either. Shortly after Facebook, I am plugged in. At this time Maddie gets ready for bed, eats dinner and lots of other stuff. Lastly, I am set with an alarm for her Fitbit and Maddie goes to bed. That’s a normal day being a Samsung Galaxy s6! Like I said earlier in this paper, I have been a lot of places with Maddie. Most of these places have to do with running. I remember all of these trips though. My first one was only a day or two after Maddie bought me. We went to Orem, Utah! Of course, it was lots of running and all of that, but I had lots of fun anyway. We took a bus there and back. It was a 10 hour drive! I enjoyed the ride, even though I’m always counting the seconds. Altogether it was a very fun trip that ended with a medal! Very successful couple of

  • Vices Of Spiritual Apathy

    This insight correlates with the above insight in that I often use homework, which is productive, as a distraction for homework that is more pressing. In addition to using homework as a distraction, Facebook, texting/Snapchat, and side conversations are also distractions that occur on a regular basis. I found that during the time I reserve for more important things, such as homework or spending time with others, I will absentmindedly pick up my phone and become distracted for an extended period of time. It may start with simply replying to a text message and then somehow, I end up on Facebook and its an hour later. The detracts from my flourishing because I am not longer giving my full attention to the things that matter, completing assignments which is helping me work toward my greatest good, or contributing to building my relationships, for the same reason. Something that I have done to combat this form of spiritual apathy is to delete Facebook off my phone and keep my phone on silent, unless I am anticipating a phone call. I feel like for the few short days I have been implementing these things, I already feel more present in my relationships and tasks. I complete tasks faster because I do not have several “breaks” from the habit of checking my phone, and the time that I spending with my family and friends is of greater quality because if I lead by example of keeping my phone

    The kids on It List have really helped me. So I don 't get distracted, I actually have an app called "Self-Control" that will make it impossible for you to get on any kind of social media on your computer for however long you say. So I 'll do it for four hours so I can get a break and check everything. But the hardest part is hitting enter--"yes, I want to begin." The four hours of not being on social media.

    She is the person that really is not tethered to electronics. She doesn’t need the phone which is just so hard to me. I wish I could be more like her and be able to drop the phone and not worry about it but the way I grew up I took a great liking for the internet and technology and I just cannot image my life without my phone.

    My heart was beating and my hands were sweating. My teacher asked me a question and I wanted to cry. I didn’t know how to say my response in English and was afraid of the other kids making fun of me because I thought my accent was too strong. All the students stared. “Just answer the question” one girl murmured. Every day I’d sit in the same seat without talking. And even though I had spent a month in the same classroom I felt uncomfortable being there. I moved to the United States from the Dominican Republic when I was twelve. I knew the word for “mariposa” was “butterfly,” and I knew how to introduce myself, but that was about all. Some people would even become frustrated due to the fact they couldn’t understand me, or the other way around. Knowing how they felt about me not being able to communicate made me want to shut myself off from them.

    Sunday mornings used to consist of lethargic snuggling underneath oversized thermal blankets while binge-watching Netflix for hours with family. Weekends were my favorite because it was the one time during the week I was able to laze in the comforting presence of my mother whom I rarely encountered because of her hectic work schedule. Since my parents divorced when I was only about five years old, I was raised by a hard-working single mother for the majority of my life, 2,614 miles away from my estranged father whom I rarely talk to except on birthdays and national holidays. Not only did my mother have to balance supporting me, but also my grandfather in the Philippines who was in critical condition after his third stroke in May of last year. My aunts and uncles could not cover the medical expenses on their own, so my mother invested as much as she could for the sake of her father. The distress and devastation my mother

    With my growing experience in the modern day educational system, I have developed many deep opinions towards my education. The gripes that all students make about homework and tests are expected from a student like me, but obviously my list is ever-changing with the constant reforms towards a vast technological society. As computer’s roles rapidly grow in our society, our education system must also rapidly adapt to the changes. As a result, the integration of one-to-one technology here at Jefferson High School has only complicated my learning and fueled the fire to anxiety built by school. In addition to the technology upswing here at Jefferson High School, my classes have become solely about taking me to the next level in my life. The push

    Way back when I was in second grade my dad was diagnosed with a nearly incurable type of cancer. At the time I wasn't aware of how bad it was, I just knew that if it wasn't cured he would die. His fight lasted over a year but when I started third grade he lost the battle. When I was younger the thought that I might lose my dad had never crossed my mind. I can honestly say that I took what I had for granted, thinking I’d have him for many years to come. Due to this experience I believe that people should appreciate what they have while they still have it.
