Value Essay

Priceless or Expense?

What do people value now-a-days? Do they value the things they buy or something that means the most to them without paying a penny for it? The definition of valuable these days is everyone’s belongings instead of the priceless values in their life.

My cell phone, laptop and iPod are my most expensive values but they are the values that I couldn't live without. If teenagers didn't have a cell phone they would be lost in society. Cell phones, laptops, and iPod’s have taken over a teenager’s life. Many teenagers including myself feel like we would never last without our gadgets that communicate with all the latest drama and gossip. To me these three values mean the most to me because they are the only things that motivate me to do good in school, if I don't do good in school then I lose all these wonderful things.

Let’s start with the cell phone, I would have to say that my cell phone does not leave my side; I guess you can say it’s glued to me.  My Memere always says “what would you do without that cell phone of yours?” my reply every time is “I really have no clue.” If I didn't have my cell phone I wouldn't know what I would do I could not imagine myself without my phone. My phone has all my important pictures and so much more, if I lost everything in my phone, I would be devastated.

My lap top is important to me also, it holds all my school work and important files. If I lost all my school work that I do on my lap top then I would get a zero on the paper that I need to hand in. My lap top is important for a bunch of other things to including storing of all my pictures, allows me to do research just to name a few. Another reason my laptop is so valuable to me is because I do a majority of my essays, projects, and research for my homework. In addition, my lap top is valuable because instead of using the family computer I can just use my own, that’s what is great about having your own lap top to yourself.

Lastly my iPod, it holds all my songs, pictures, and games that I like to play. My iPod is so important to me because, I run a lot and I can’t deal with running without any music, it pumps me up and makes me go faster. My iPod gives me entertainment when I’m bored. It’s also small and it can go everywhere I go just like my phone does. Also my iPod is worth a lot so I really can’t afford to lose it. Many of these things are great and valuable but yet you need to pay for these wonderful values, unlike your family.

My family is priceless yet valuable to me because I would not be where I am today if I didn't have them. Sometimes I do not understand my family and wished they never existed but in the end of the day they are just looking out for me and making sure I make the right decisions and that is really the most valuable and priceless part of my life that I have. My family is my motivation to always keep my head up because I'll always have them when I need them the most. If I were to only have one valuable thing in my life it would be my family. I don't always need to have my electronics to make me happy because they will eventually brake and become useless, but if I have my family they will always find a way to keep me happy.
