    In my life, many funny situations happen. One of them was in Homecoming. I am in student council and we were setting up homecoming the night before, which was a Friday. It was at 10 at night. My friends and I were hanging tarts on the wales and one of the tarts was twenty feet long. It took us an hour to untangle it and it took fave people. As we were doing that, we noticed that there was a big piece of tape that was stuck. I tried to take it out but I couldn't, I even started to overthink what it was. Then, three of my friends said that they will help. So, each one of us grabbed a side "corner" and we were all supposed to pull at the count of three. So eventually, we all went three, two, and half of one. Then, one of my friends said "guys, what if it is supposed to be there." All of us looked at each other and started laughing. We laughed our hearts out. We made an excuse that we were all tired and some of us didn't get to go home after school. We were all there from seven in the morning. That same night we also had another situation, where we used my friend's crocks to hang the lights in the gym for a design. In this case, people were coming in and trying to get the crocks on the other side of the bar on the ceiling in the gymnasium. This was an amazing competition and it showed me how baseball and softball people can throw well. Also, resellers were good throwers as well. It was a fun thing to do with friends and very stressful because we had to get all the lights hung before homecoming. Even though we used a latter, it made it even harder. Overall, these are the memories that I am going to remember. These are the days that I will laugh most. Every one of us was very tired. However, we got to share great memories, that will cherish forever. Sometimes in life we don't think some situations are funny but when we look back at them we love them so much. That we start to make sure we remember every single detail of the story. Long story short, we hung up the tart and the lights. People loved it in Homecoming, and I had the best senior Homecoming.

    I think that technology is improving the lives of so many people in different ways. Collaboration across borders, different cultures, and businesses has never been easier. Platforms and communities enable this and make global connection easy. This is important as we need to join forces to face the challenges at hand. Other ways technology is seen to have a positive effect on society include increased knowledge and understanding, improvements in industry and jobs and an interconnectedness of the world as a result of globalization. The value of technology is bringing equality to products and services and minimizing socioeconomic gaps among societies and people. In addition, technology makes health and education available to more people, making it easier to learn and get care, no matter their background. Using technology allows you to automate tasks, set up reminders, gather receipts, track investments, compare prices, and more. With technology, you won't have to waste your time doing simple financial tasks. With just a few clicks, you can instantly pay your bills. In the end, technology can make the world a better place, if we use it right.

    Being a doctor has always been my dream since I could even remember, specifically a Pediatrician. Even at school I started to take AP, Honors classes and Honors Scientific Research to learn more in depth about Science. I even took Anatomy and Physiology. Every time I learn something new about the Human Body, I get even more excited and curious about many things in the Human Body and how it functions. I have always been interested and amazed by how doctors can make a person feel better. People go to the doctor, and they will be sick but after, they feel better. I have always loved the way they put a smile on their patients' faces after they’re healed. I also heard a lot about being a doctor and the upsides and the downsides. However, I think I am up for the challenge. The day that I decided that I want to be a Pediatrician was the best day ever. I decided I wanted to be a doctor in Elementary School and the reason was my best friend. I am not going to say her name. But we were really close, maybe even sisters. Until one day she started feeling stomach pain, so hard that the doctor didn’t know why and started to tell her she can’t eat certain food (they were all her favorite food). I was despondent all the time. All I could think of was how to make it better, yet I was just a kid, and she was very depressed too. Then time passed and another Pediatrician came and was able to give her medicine, which made her eat all the food she loves. At this moment I have never seen her happier and I remember she said that “I thought I was never going to eat anything that I want ever again” then, this was the time when I said that I want to be a Pediatrician so I could help people and make them feel better and cheerful. Like the doctor changed my best friend’s life. She was just a kid, and this doctor was able to change a whole childhood for the better, by giving her the right treatment. I would love to do the same someday. In the end, majoring in Biology (Pre-Med) and minoring in Neuroscience are going to make me go deeper into medical research. In addition, the reason I chose to minor in Neuroscience is because I love the study of the Human Brain and the Nervous System. There is so much to know in this field, and I can’t wait to learn! My major and my minor will make me see how doctors can change a person’s life. It is going to teach me how to be a better doctor, so I can help others. Which will make it an extraordinary journey!

    This quote is very real in my opinion. It is showing how online could affect our social life. I think these things are something we see in today’s world. People don’t know how to communicate because of the online world. People usually rather text than call or meet with someone. Which takes away many of our actions when we meet with someone in person. Many people don’t know how to shake hands properly when they see someone or when they are in an interview. Because, they got used to emails and texts. Communication is the key in our lives. Without communication, our lives are going to be boring. It will have no life. The online world takes a lot from our interactions with people. Even now there are many people that would rather have a zoom call or a video call rather than a meeting in person. People rather play online games, than playing outside and enjoying nature. People start to think like a video game, instead of thinking how to survive or act in the real world. In, the end, I think the online world affected our lives in so many ways. Especially, the incoming generation. They are addicted to their phones so much. That they can’t think how to survive without them. People lookup on google the information, rather than going to the library and reading books. Also, we listen to Audio books rather than reading books. Which affected our reading. The virtual world affects our daily day life.
