Technology! Technology! Technology!

Technology is an important tool. Students use technology as a resource for school.  High school students use technology not only to communicate for projects but to look up information and to type papers for English class. In my school, technology is limited. In the morning, students line up at the media center just to use the computers. When the media center opens up, everyone pushes and struggles just to make it to a computer but not everyone makes it to a computer so they have to wait until someone is done just to use one. Sometimes, other people take long to use the computers so the ones waiting on a computer might not get the chance to use it. With more technology in my school, everyone would be able to get their papers and research done on time. This shows that technology is critical in schools and with limited technology, students can be deprived of the information and typing up essays for school. 

Two words...GIVE BACK!!!

      Giving back to the community is a way to help your community become a better place. I know that sometimes we do not have the time to give back but doing even a little thing like donating clothes is better than not doing anything at all. The feeling you get when you give back is a feeling that you will never forget. I have experienced this feeling on Christmas day when I went to feed the homeless. Seeing the smiles on their faces made me the happiest person alive. Hearing them say "thank you", with the most sincere look in their eyes, made me proud that I could help them. I felt like I was giving back because I have much more than they have and it feels great to help my community even if its just for a couple of hours. It was nice just looking at them talking to each other and making jokes. They were so nice and I am happy that I could give back to those nice people. Some of you might not see the homeless like how I see them. Some of you might say that they can do better. Yes, they can do better but it is still not a bad thing to help them. They have feelings just like everyone else. Showing that there are people who care about them might help them to try to do better for themselves. By giving back, you can change your community AND make other people in your community aware of the things that are happening so that they can step up and make a change.
