condensed, flowing cursive that could make words look like a painting. At first, I was envious. I had wished that I had her handwriting; however, I’ve never been the kind of person to waste time on envy, and comparing yourself to others is exactly the thing you want to do if you never want to move anywhere in life. I remember practicing my cursive in math class in the…

This was a major thing because it gave these workers rights that they deserved and they were…

turn onto the lazier side of things. You wouldn’t have to work as hard for things. In the article we read in class about technology affecting our daily life it talks about how having voice operated control in your phone (Siri, Alexa, etc), isn’t helping people learn speaking skills with other people.

Even though there is nothing that should be…
