Everything should be in person

Versailles Becerra

If there is a way to connect more, be more approachable, laugh more, feel more productive, and have more energy, would you try it? I think everything should be in person. I think it matters because I spent four weeks only should be in person is about how important it is to communication and your connections with other people.I think it matters because your with others reflect the person you are. Sometimes it is hard because i love my phone but i know that im happier when im not on it. That’s why i believe everything should be in person.

I went to boarding school for four weeks in the summer. We were only allowed to use phones for an hour a day to call our parents. Some of the time it was really hard to have to go without all day, but I started to notice differences. I noticed everyone bonded more, and everything felt funnier. I did a class on communication while i was there and the teacher of class said that every year phones advance and the class gets harder to teach. What she meant by that was kids each year get worse at communicating, because they don't have to if they can just text instead of talking and online shop instead of paying with the cashier and even going out there's screens you can order on.

Writer's Statement

For my belief I wrote that everything should be in person. For my story I wrote about boarding school and my experiences with not having my phone. I started by thinking about how I developed my belief and wrote mostly about that. My favorite part of writing this essay was deciding on my topic because I had a lot of topics that I wanted to write about. I decided to write about how everything should be in person because that's what I felt most passionate about.
