A Vision of Students
Technology is the way of the future. A Vision of Students by: Michael Welsh. the world is evolving, technology is moving fast and we must adjust to these new ways to achieve our goals and to educate ourselves. In A Vision of Students it shows us that the average student is using technology to learn over classrooms and paper. Students are watching television, on computers, on phones, and listening to ipods more then they are studying, reading, or even in the classroom for that matter. Education is evolving and using technology to learn is a great idea for most people. This video relates to me in a way because I am a freshman in highschool and I am already useing more technology in my classes then I have ever imagined using. Technology is allowing students to get their work done faster, easier, and more efficent. It will be hard for some people to adjust but once adjusted it will be fast, easy, and less time consuming. This relates to the world because we need to think more about the enviroment and other countries, and technology can help with this. Without technology we are nothing we must evolve.

What Matters To Me




The things that matter most in my life are family, friends, school, music, and my religion.
Not only are these all important, but I don't know what I would do without them. Everyday these things get me out of bed and ready for what's up ahead. All of these things help me live my life.



My family is by far the most important thing in my life. I have three sisters, two of them are older then me. Most of the time we get along, but every once in awhile a fight erupts and sides are chosen. We usually work it out quickly before our parents find out. My parents are also important to me. My dad is a sales manager, while my mom teaches fourth grade. They help me out a lot and usually understand where I'm coming from. My family is a huge part of my life.



My friends are very important in my life. They help me relax when I'm having a rough time, and they make me laugh. When I'm with them we have fun no matter what. We could be studying, playing football, or even working and still have fun. My friends really know how to cheer me up and we always have a good time. I am very glad my friends are involved in my life.



Education is a big part of my life. I go everyday and try to learn more and more. I really want to be a police officer when I'm older. This means I have to complete school and do my best. I, unfortunately, am not the brightest student, but I try my best. I sometimes don't understand all the assignments and I forget things. I work hard at trying my best.



Music and religion are also important to me. Music helps me relax, and get my mind off things, and it also helps me get things done faster. When ever I do homework I tend to complete it faster and error free with music playing, and when I go on runs or bike rides I can go much farther with my Ipod. Religion helps me focus and think about things from every view possible. When I'm at church or chapel I tend to think about my life and decisions I’ve made or am about to make.



All of these things help me live my life and teach me how to grow. I am fortunate to have a strong family, good friends, the opportunity for a good education, my faith, and the chance to listen to music. All of these things are important to me. Hopefully, they always will be.
