Personal Narrative: My 15 Hour Technology

Improved Essays
I established a 15 hour technology fast from Saturday 10 PM to 1 PM Sunday morning. I selfishly chose this time frame because I knew that any other time during the week would be nearly impossible to accomplish. Since, I am indebted to my technological devices to complete assignment, manage my schedule, and meet required responsibilities. In addition, I chose to include sleeping hours because it would cut a majority of the time that I would be without technology. However, I did not want to fully exclude myself from this social experiment, therefore, I extended the hours. It also helped that the hours I chose to extend were during a period of time where I could take cues from others when it was time to move to the next required place.

    Though I’ve been a life-long Chick-fil-a customer, I first started considering the opportunity to become an operator when I was an Assistant Manager at the Great American Cookie Company in the Joplin, Missouri mall, working a few storefronts down from Rick Starkweather. I had attended the local Christian college for my undergraduate degree and had many college friends who worked at the mall location. The primary thing I noticed, and continue to be impressed by, was the alignment the entire team appeared to have in operating the store. Many years later, as I was learning to be a leader at Ozark Guidance, a community mental health center, my brother in-law, Rob Watkins, was selected to be an operator in Arkansas. At Rob’s store ,…

    The Keyboard I view society as a collection of musical compositions, each individual’s actions portray their story; tales of determination, education, and success. How I came upon this idea is somewhat unorthodox, and it all started my sophomore year when I took it upon myself to achieve a long-standing goal of mine and learn the piano. My first obstacle was a lack of piano to play, and after my parents made it clear that we were not purchasing a Steinway & Sons Grand piano, I turned to the next best alternative: Amazon. For $89 I was able to acquire a 61 key keyboard, with two-day free shipping. I distinctly remember the day it arrived; it was a humid summer day…
