Dear AT&T Administrations

My family and I have been well been more than satisfied customers for the past 3 years. You have given us amazing phones such as the iPhone 4, View, and others we have been accustomed now to rely on you more and more for new and improving phones. The iPhone 4 has been a sure upgrade from our phones that we got from Verizon, not to mention such the high quality of performance we get out of it.

However, we have had some problems over the past couple months we have experienced problems where our phone service has dropped resulting in missed calls, missed texts, and not being able to go on the internet when it is needed. I have tried two different phones within the past 2 years, which was the iPhone 4, and the View, and it happened to both phones. But at first I believe that it wasn’t a problem with the View as it happened only a few times. But with the iPhone 4 which I got on October 17^th it has happened about 10 times, most recently in the past week (November 7-11) where my phone has dropped service and I had to restart it and when I had restarted it, it showed that I had a missed call, along with 4 unread text messages.

Also, I think that with the amount that we are paying for our bill as of now, which is $110 a month, I believe that we deserve the best, complete service that we don’t have to deal with dropped and missed call, missed text messages that are important, and having to restart our phones just for it to work..

Through all of these troubles in the past 2 years, we have had a lot of good assistants giving us helpful tips on what would we should do when it occurs. The assistances were as nice as they come, and very knowledgeable about their technology, I do not feel it is the phone or the assistance advice that is causing the phone to all of a sudden lose signal as it has happened numerous times.

I do not have any problems on your policies and what you can do with your phone as they are the best of the best, but I do feel that you guys should consider maybe updating or maybe even changing your signal technology that can assure everyone a good experience with their phones.

Sincerely,

Brayton Sakai

            Media affects most teens, either if it’s by music, television, computer social networks such as facebook and tumblr, and lastly by video games. But what are the consequences to this increase in violence in media? Things can escalate to depression to suicide.  So media is a main cause for depression.

            Some people believe that media aren’t the cause for a lot of kids’ depression. They argue that since not all programs are dealing with wrongdoing. Also they believe that there are parental controls on the website their kids look at. Also the music they listen to are usually heard on the radio and then looked up, since the song on the radio is usually edited. And lastly because most of the video games and movies are rated so they can allow or not allow their children the opportunity to be influenced by media.

            But on the other hand there are others that believe that media is the cause for teen depression. For example a study on teenagers that listen to music featured in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine researchers have found that out of 106 teenagers, 46 of them had already been linked to depression, which is about 44%.  Another study from the Archives of General Psychiatry taken by Brian A. Primack from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in 1995 by 4,142 teenagers reported that teens on average spend 5.68 hours of media per day, including 2.3 hours of television, 0.62 hours of videocassettes, 0.41 hours of computer games, and 2.34 hours of radio. Another survey was taken seven years later and the teenagers were screened at the age of 21, and 308 (7.4%) had developed symptoms consistent with depression. And lastly there was a study taken by Nancy Schimelpfening from about.com have found that 22% of teens log onto their favorite social media site more than 10 times a day, more than half of teens log on at least once per day, 75% have cell phones with 25% of those with social media, 54% for texting, and 24% for instant messaging.

            So teen depression shouldn’t be taken lightly because how everything is technology now days, teenagers have to be careful on exactly hat they do because you never know what could cause depression.

           

College Essay

            Hello my name is Brayton Sakai, and I’m interested in applying to your college in the medial department.

             Some things that I really enjoy are spending time with people either old or young, learning new things each and everyday, and finding new things about myself. Some personal experiences that make me the person I am are was I really love being around people, I like to go to hospitals since my stepdad works there. I like volunteering with either helping patients with whatever they need or maybe just simply brightening up their day.  And even though they may be ill or sick I just love seeing people smile even for the smallest things. Other experiences that that prove that I learn something everyday about myself or the world is that life always gives me obstacles that make me who I am today. Some examples are that if it’s either I’m having a bad day as things aren’t going my way I have to persevere to pick myself up and not let things bring me down. Or if it’s losing a family member I have to remember that I have to think to myself that they would want me to succeed in life even though it’s without them. And lastly if it’s a baseball game I have to work hardly and practice hardly to make myself the ball player that I want to be.

            Some things that make me stand out as an individual is that I really I really work hard in everything I do either if it’s in baseball, school, or other activities. Even though I may not be a 4.0 student I still study hard, and try to get the best possible grade I can get, even if it’s going in for help when I’m busy or asking my friends to tutor me. Also what makes me stand out is that I am easy to get along with. I never grumble if someone tells me to do something, I just go and do it right away even it may be difficult. Also I always shoot to be the best person that I want to be even if my goals and dreams may be impossible I tend to try to work towards then to make myself a better person. And lastly I just enjoy making the best things that I’m given even if it’s not the best.

Blog Revisons

            Throughout these past 2 years I have been in Menemac I have learned so much about technology it's amazing. To show what I have learned I have decided to showcase in my blog. For example,I decided to change my blog's title from Today's learners are tomorrow's future into Words are a way of Life because in everyday life we need words to communicate with each other whether is telling someone directions, or letting out your emotions. Also I have changed my background picture into me with a background of a beach because usually the beach is where I like to let everything loose because it's so peaceful you don't even worry about everything as you lie in the soothing sand, with the wooshing of waves coming in. Also I changed my blog achieves to show that now I'm more organized instead of having to look through my whole blog just to find something,which my take forever.

Coming of Age 1st draft

         Rinnnnnng,was all I remember that day. Saying good-byes at school and walking to my friend Drake's house,playing video games.
         Ahhhhh, just waking up from bed from a long day before. I got ready for summer school that morning with a tingling feeling like something wrong was going to happen. But I thought to myself nothing was going to happen.
         As I got to school, all my thought sank away as we were filled with conversations with laughter and happiness. Rinnnng,the bell rung signaling that school started. "What another wonderful day at P.E." I thought to myself. The period was filled with laughter and excitement as we played pickel-ball. After that everything felt like went downhill. The sky was turned pitch-black like it was going to pour.
         "Ayee Drake,where you like meet?" as I talked to him to take me home. As I got into the car, the same feeling ran through as something bad had just happened,but I tried getting over it but I couldn't. When we went to Drake's house, my dad was waiting for me in his car. I tried calling my mom, but she wouldn't answer and from there I knew something was wrong!
         The path he was taking me was so familiar. A long ride into the dark,thunderous sky on the Pali to my Grandma's house. "Your mom told me to pick you up!" my dad said. But I just sat in the car silenced, and stunned. Tears started to roll down my face aleardy like a drizzle.
         As soon as we got to my Grandma's house, things just became a daze as I ran into the house like a freight train, nothing stopping me. I gave my Grandpa a big hug as if he was still alive. But he just lay there helplessly,and motionless. My mom had to pull me aside after a good 3 minutes I was hugging my Grandpa. First she gave me a big hug,then she said to me "It's alright, now he's not suffering."Yeah your right" as I said weeping in tears.
         I should've known that something like this was going to happen. I should've known when I got those weird feelings in the morning and after school. I should've known when my dad rushed me down the Pali.
        But even though my Garndpa isn't with us, I learned alot of things from it. First that even though he had cancer and was getting worse, he still lived his life as if there was no tomorrow. Another thing was that even though people may doubt you,like people doubted on how much time he had, he proved them wrong by fighting to make wonderful things happen. And lastly if you have people that care about you, use them wisely because you never know what could happen.
