The college fair went good, actually it was really good. I got to talk to many colleges, and they were the ones that I wanted to go. Also about community service, It’s been going great so far. I’ve been meeting new people everyday, and hearing great news from them.
Two days ago during study hall when I was in my room, I saw this news about driver’s licenses and how they can be taken away from people. It was simple–break a law. Breaking a law can be considered about just driving in the wrong lane, or driving without seat belts, but no. The laws that would bring big punishments in the end, can cause someone’s driver’s license to be taken away forever. For example if someone had been in a robbery, and if that person is the one who caused it, then that person’s license can be removed. Another example that was in the news was about this guy that didn’t have his license anymore because he had been in a criminal situation. I learned that anyone with any criminal case, is not allowed to have license, or their licenses would be taken away. It kind of made me feel more relaxed, since I was sure that this was a solution to make the traffic safer, but we all know that driving is still dangerous.
The day after reading that news, I wanted to continue with a happier news, until I saw the title of Brooklyn on The New York Times’ website. I love New York, so whenever I see a news about it, or hear it, I would get interested in that news. When I saw the title Brooklyn, and protest together I knew that this news wasn’t the good one. I started reading it, and I learned that there were protests took place in Brooklyn, that later on continued on The Brooklyn Bridge. In the news it said that the police was involved in this, too. No matter what they did they had a hard time to stop the protests. I actually felt like it was a normal day in New York. New York is really big, and I remember that last time I went there there were protests all over. The protests were about a murder if I remember it right. It was during Thanksgiving Break. I was kind of scared, since I haven’t seen a crowded protest like that before, but I learned that protests like that happens sometimes.
The next day I read that news, my friend asked if I bought the Apple Watch. I said no, since they were pretty expensive, and I thought that they were not necessary. Later that day I read this news about the Apple Watch, and how they were promoting it. The news made the way that the Apple Watch is promoted sound really cruel. It actually was. It was only available online, and when people buy it, there wouldn’t be a specific time for it to come. I thought that it was a good way for Apple to make money, but a bad way to gain customers.
I can say that in these last three days, my opinion towards a couple of things have changed. For example I will never consider buying the Apple Watch again. Last 23 days to go!
