It means being surrounded by a surplus of technology and easy access to social media, which subconsciously affects how you act and think. Actions that may not align with how you wanted to act; actions that build up your mask and persona that you show to others as your life progresses. You also have to worry about maintaining a healthy balance between the digital and real worlds, appreciating the value of in-person relationships, and spending time with loved ones. Knowing that, and being aware of the pressures and influences that can mold one’s digital identity, should make one take measures to ensure that their online presence reflects their true self. Living in such a time can be difficult, as you may find it hard to understand what your purpose is and which side you stand on.
Our generation must embark on a new charted path since we are the first to have been placed in a scene like this. Although we may find ourselves on a new charted path, it doesn’t necessarily mean we have the same viewpoint. For example, Student A may have much less control over how outside variables affect their day-to-day high school life, compared to Student B. This is what creates the high school experience: going through challenges every day, challenges that in the end, build your character. One’s identity at this time involves both an individual and a social journey that is influenced by societal changes and world events. We high schoolers are faced with the task of developing our character while adjusting to changing educational practices and technologies.
Most of us welcome the chance to pursue our interests in high school, whether that means joining clubs and extracurricular activities or giving back to our neighborhood. While we do open a chance to pursue such goals, we also open the doors to peer pressure, a common thing in high school, from choosing to fit in with a certain group to selecting parties and social events. You’d need to gain the self-assurance to make decisions that are consistent with your own ideals as a high school student. Also handling your time management, doing schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and personal obligations is difficult. To succeed in every area of your high school life, you MUST put your efforts into strengthening your time management abilities. Being a high school student ultimately means accepting the opportunities and challenges of this critical time of life while also being aware of the distinctive dynamics of the digital age that affect our experiences and viewpoints.
Amro, your essay was good at giving examples of real life scenarios from a high schooler to depict what life is like as a high schooler, giving the readers a good example of what that could be like. Some more information could be provided about the introduction- did you just jump in to the essay with “it”, making the title the beginning of your essay? Maybe you could also provide a less opininated essay- you say what MUST be done as a high schooler, but some people could take different paths.
I think your introduction does a good job at engaging the reader. You talk about technology affecting you subconsciously, are there any examples of this? I would consider making the paragraphs smaller to increase engagment.
