This is my entry to the Hive Learners weekly contest.
This is really an amazing topic. I thank God that this phone addiction is really not affecting me in one way or the very other. I tend not to even be so addicted that it has a place now, preventing that in which I am supposed to do.
Just yesterday, as I was preparing for our 10 o'clock class, trying to put on my dress, I noticed the immediate tear in the dress, and I hurried to rush to my classmate, who had a sewing machine in his room, to sew it and then go to the class. She was hurrying up as a friend was already waiting for her outside. She opted and now gave me a hand needle, which has thread in it for me to use and do my sewing. I left the room and it was searing for me to realize that I was not with my phone. Oh no! After I was still sure it was not yet still in my room, I left for class.
On my way, I saw her and her friend and told her of my phone. She told me that I would not make her go back. In her words, she didn't want to go back immediately after class, and I assured her that I wa not even going back either, as I wanted to do my project activities. I just wanted to make sure it was there and pick it u anytime that is ok once she is back at her convenient time. I'm not a phone freak. I wa telling her I can stay a bit without my phone. She agreed to that as we now entered the classroom.
The lecturer was not in class, and the class was canceled. I kept myself busy with reading my notebook for the course in the classroom. Immediately it was cancelled, and we then hurried to our college, the College of Applied Food Science and Tourism deptartment in the food science and Technology lab to continue with our project work, which, I thank God, was a great success.
Personally, I can go hours, like many hours, without my phone. Sometimes I go out without it. As far as I know, it would not be useful for me wherever I am going, so what is the essence of carrying it about? I would leave it at home for me to rest from luggage carrying and also for my phone to rest and take a good nap.
Two hours is a time, and I can stay, and I can say it is really not that concerning to me. I like to press and still get in one activity or the other with my phone, but it is really not a must. When it is available, I can, but when it is not, what can I do but to keep on, by God's grace, with the activities in which I am supposed to be doing?
We keep hoping for the best.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Positivity is our watchword.
