Avril's First Phone
For my 10th birthday I got my first phone. I got it on May 3rd, and my birthday is on May 5th. It didn't have internet on it, I could only use it to talk and text. It changed my life because I never had any other way to communicate with my friends. I was one of the last people in my class to get a cell phone. I wish I could go back and have waited, because I think that I wouldn't be so hooked on my phone now if I got it later in life.
