The cell phone has impacted my life in many ways. It has actually helped me in all three of the ways listed, but since   I can only choose one, I choose the fact that my cell phone helps me feel safer. I received a cell phone for Christmas when  I was 13. It seems pretty young, but I was almost done with middle school and would be attending school in downtown Louisville the next fall. My parents got it for me because of that reason and the fact that I was starting to go more places and needed to get a hold of them more.

My cell phone has saved me many times. I use it when I am in uncomfortable situations, like walking to my car in the dark, walking into school (when I attended high school downtown and parked far away), when my car has broken down and I need to call AAA  and my parents, and just in general when I need something while I am out. I think that a cell phone is an amazing thing to have. I know that if I can just get a hold of someone or call 911 when I need to, I feel safer. Since I live downtown at the present time, I take extra precautions because it is not that great of a neighborhood. Having a cell phone helps me feel safe.  It is very important that I have it in my hand at all times, just in case.
