Personal Narrative Essay: America's Gift To My Generation

Decent Essays
America’s Gift to My Generation America has given many gifts to my generation. The one I am going to focus on is electronics. Some of the electronics I think are super important are the iPhone and Ipod. These two electronics are both made by apple. Back before we had these you had to use a dictionary to spell a word or go find a computer. With these devices you are literally carrying a computer around in your pocket. You just simply click the safari or google icon and type in anything you want to know and in a matter of seconds it will have all the information possible at the tips of your fingers. They have major advantages but of course they have their downsides just like anything. There is not limits on what you can find

This can be a little unsettling: up North, I’ve “turned Southern”, but down South, I’m definitely a Northerner. Though sometimes difficult, I’ve grown to like the alternate viewpoints I’ve gained living in different locations.…

    America’s Gift to My Generation would be education and schooling.

Working hard all year gave me some time for pleasure and relaxation.…

    Not everyone can say they carry a map of where they live wherever they go. This is one of the few perks that come with residing in the Mitten State: I can whip out my hand anytime and point to exactly where I’m from.

For eighteen years, I’ve covered imperfections, censored thoughts, and allowed my light to be dulled. I may not have lived anywhere else yet, but the real-world is out there waiting -- and I’m ready for it.…
