  • My First Cell Phone

    My First Cell Phone
    This was such a monumental thing for me! I was in a play in Kindergarten and my mom was pregnant with my sister at this time. She was unable to go in and get me from practices so she got me a flip phone that could only call her, my grandparents, and 911. This was the "coolest thing" ever at that time!

    I remember when the iPhone first came out and I was so amazed because my aunt became "so cool" for getting one!
    In 2007 Apple debuted the iPhone and every year since they continue to wow with a new iteration that moves design and technology forward. Early game-changing features like Internet connectivity, text messaging, and a built-in camera paved the way for the standard smartphone.

    In 6th grade, I finally got to get a newer cell phone that was an upgrade from the traditional flip phone. I remember being in the phone store begging for an iPhone at the time because it was the "it thing" at the time. Image Source: NBCNews https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna32314558

    I was on cloud 9 getting my first iPhone and even better getting it in my favorite color green! I have had iPhones ever since! I don't go anywhere without my cell phone and feel like it's a part of me! I can't imagine life without it. I use it for everything from email, constant communication with my family and friends, research, photos, music, and games. Image Source: Walmart
