Technological Innovation and the Benefits it Has Carried in Our School

Technology has brought a sense of congregation to a world so vast and abundant. Our elders profess that technology has caused more of a distraction in our educational environment than enhance it. However are they at our school witnessing how we use technology for themselves? The phone bill may show that the data is used profusely at school, and show an influx of texts but that doesn't mean we aren't utilizing technology effectively. The text could be a warning of the test that's coming next block or just a friendly mingle between two people, but ultimately technology is there to fill that gap when everything else seems lame.

One gap that I can personally vouch for is the one I feel in Marine Science; A lot of the scientific terms that are used, are completely new to me (and the majority of my classmates) so sometimes I feel kind of left behind. However, because technology has created soapy sources of information available, such as google or the curriculum's textbook, anything I don't understand in class, I could just look up on the Internet. Scenarios like these have become routine; other classes I utilize the Internet for are for AP English and especially Thinking Skills.............
In all seriousness, I am not sure if I would be doing so well academically if I didn't have my second teacher: technology.

I Wash Your Hands, You Wash Mine

Giving back to the community is a duty that every person should fulfill in my opinion. Your community is responsible for the education you are provided, for the morals that you incur, and how you interact with others on a day to day basis. In essence your community helps shape you to some degree. Thus it should be innately in you to give back to the community.

Personally I've given back to the community many times. It just feels good to give back and plus I like helping people. In middle school, specifically 6th grade, I participated in Everglades Restoration Projects. Throughout 7th and 8th grade I use to stay after school EVERY DAY and tutor other kids (i lived a minute away from my middle school......and i was still late everyday smh) who were struggling in their classrooms;some of them had low self-esteem problems that I would assist with as well. In 10th grade (well going into 10th grade) I served as an teacher aid for a private preschool in Miami. Truly, I did it to get my 40 hours of community service but I loved it do much I did for the entire summer. I like working with kids, I have a little brother, you get the correlation.

The thing I admired the most about being a teacher aid is how those kids looked to for advice. Some of them were close to entering the realm of puberty and they were so enraptured with someone like me who was going through it but going through it as an individual as many teens struggle with finding their identity. Scenarios like these motivates me to give back to the community more because I know that I'm helping at least one child become more sure and confident in their self. Big ups to serving the community.
