The Internet
The Internet used to be about playing games and having fun when I was young. I
have come to reminisce and realize that the Internet has been a big part
of my life. Not only did I use the Internet for games, but for research. Every
time I had a question that I could not acquire an answer to, the Internet was
there for me. The reason I say the Internet was there for me is because I had
no father. When I had questions only a father could answer, I looked to the
Internet for advice, including questions about puberty and feelings. Research
is only one way of which the Internet has helped me. The Internet has helped me
figure out who I want to be in life.
It was in the beginning of my sixth grade where I
actually started using the Internet daily. Not only for informational purposes
but for the online games and Myspace where messaging my crush was a daily need.
Going into my freshman year of high school, I started using Craigslist, selling
almost every material possession I had just to make money to be able to buy
clothes that was in the trend. Besides the tribulation of getting rid of
everything I had, I grew a passion for selling things. I fell in love with the
art of selling and persuasion. I did not realize this passion up
until the time I sold a custom built computer for four-hundred fifty
dollars that I originally brought a year before that time for
three-hundred fifty dollars. I instantly knew that selling was my niche. I
realized I had this passion because of the Internet. It was because of my use
of the Internet that I realized business was the career route I was going to
take in life. I am a freshman at Fullerton College in California and I
am majoring in Marketing Management where I will pursue my passion for
business, hopefully, being able to establish my own company one day. Winning
this scholarship will aid me in the continuation of my education.
Some people might argue that the Internet sucks the life out of children
because that’s all they use now, but they’re just like books, only electronic.
The Internet may have its disadvantages but I believe the advantages outweigh
these disadvantages by a lot. I have certainly experienced these advantages.
The Internet does not only help with figuring out who you want
to be in life but also benefits you with ease of communication, entertainment,
and information. It also saves you time and effort.
Ultimately, it is
evident that the Internet has helped me figure out who I want to be in life;
from questions answered to the enlightenment of the love I have for business.
The Internet helped me explore my own world, leading me to figure out who I
wanted to be in life. Winning this scholarship will provide me help in buying a
laptop where I can do my assignments. Going to the library every day gets
pretty exhausting when you don't have a car. The Internet is not only a
powerful tool but very informative and I am glad to say that it has been of
great service to me in life.
