Technology has changed my life because it has made living a lot easier and faster. For example, if I did not have cell phone, long distance communication would become very difficult because messages would take forever to transfer by mail. Some technology as simple as a book has changed my life because I can gain an ample amount of knowledge from just reading a couple hundred pages. That's how amazing it is. I love technology and would be a shriveled up hobo living on the street, without it. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">4.

<span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;"> 8. Answer the question, "Where am I"? Since this is online, please feel free to ONLY share what you want others to see. If you do not type the full paragraph from your paper, OR you change your paragraph for this wikispace, it is okay! I do not want you to share personal information with the class. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> I am currently a normal teenage girl that wants to succeed in my life. I am attending Midvale Middle School, but am planning to go onto Hillcrest High next year and on forth to college. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">9. Reflect on what type of lifestyle you would like, and if you are currently headed in that a direction. I would like a very simple lifestyle which is rather glamorous. The normal teenager wants a lifestyle in which he can be involved in a mingling social group, but still have all the technology to live an amazing life. I just want to grow up and have a normal sized family with a good income, living in a large house in the big city. I am currently headed in that direction because I am mainly very motivated in achieving my dreams. <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;"> 10. Answer the question, "Where am I going"? Since this is online, please feel free to ONLY share what you want others to see. If you do not type the full paragraph from your paper, OR you change your paragraph for this wikispace, it is okay! I do not want you to share personal information with the class. I am currently planning on finishing high school and going on to college. I want to grow up to become a successful dentist and mainly achieve one thing: independence. All my life I have wanted to become an independent woman that can stand on her own feet without having anyone spoon feed her or treat the way they would treat a stereotypical woman. <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;"> 11. Reflect on your attitude and the choices you are making. Are both getting you to the place you want to be in your life? My attitude at this point in time is quite positive and optimistic; however, I'll be honest, I whine about many things in life. When I have an assignment that I don't to do, I complain (to myself) about how pointless it is. Although, despite this attitude, I am mostly a very happy person and think of life as a goal that I must achieve. For the choices I'm making, I'd say that my choices and decisions towards not doing drugs or smoking (which seems to be a popular thing at this age) are pretty good. I understand the consequences of getting myself into a mess of addictions because once I step into the dark world, there is literally no way out. In terms of school, I am making good choices by overachieving an fulfilling all the requirements I need to in order to succeed in life. <span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;"> 12. Answer the question, "How do I get to where I want to be"? Since this is online, please feel free to ONLY share what you want others to see. If you do not type the full paragraph from your paper, OR you change your paragraph for this wikispace, it is okay! I do not want you to share personal information with the class. I will get to where I want to by the help of education. Truly, education is so essential for living and success that without it, I would be nothing. I want to eventually become a dentist in the later years of my life and education is the only tool that can help me along the way. Having a positive attitude towards things that do not work according to my "fancy" is what will help me reach where I want to be. I've set a mindset in my head: No pain. No gain. If I don't put the effort into my education right now, I won't gain any success or the lifestyle I am hoping to achieve in the future.
