Our first essay topic of the semester was to create a digital history narrative. On my digital history narrative I wrote about social media when it first came out during my middle school years. I found this to be the easiest and most fun topic of the semester. While writing, I talked about how Facebook/ My Space was the key to popularity among peers. When I couldn’t create one because of my mother telling me that I was too young, I was devastated. I talked about how social media meant so much to me before but now it’s another thing to make me upset at people for. I described how I went behind my mom’s back and created an account anyways. In my original paper, I left a few questions un-answered such as “did my mom ever find out about my account”. I must’ve been extra sneaky back then because lucky, she never found out! I added extra reflective points describing about how it made me feel that I wasn’t allowed to have an account and others. My original title for the paper was “Growing up in the Era of Social Media”, which was boring and non- original. I decided to change it to “Social Media: The Modern Day Epidemic” which gives more excitement to the story as a whole. I also fixed format errors such as having too much space between my name and title as well as took the underline out of my title.

Our first essay topic of the semester was to create a digital history narrative. On my digital history narrative I wrote about social media when it first came out during my middle school years. I found this to be the easiest and most fun topic of the semester. While writing, I talked about how Facebook/ My Space was the key to popularity among peers. When I couldnt create one because of my mother telling me that I was too young, I was devastated. I talked about how social media meant so much to me before but now its another thing to make me upset at people for. I described how I went behind my moms back and created an account anyways. In my original paper, I left a few questions un-answered such as did my mom ever find out about my account. I mustve been extra sneaky back then because lucky, she never found out! I added extra reflective points describing about how it made me feel that I wasnt allowed to have an account and others. My original title for the paper was Growing up in the Era of Social Media, which was boring and non-original. I decided to change it to Social Media: The Modern Day Epidemic which gives more excitement to the story as a whole. I also fixed format errors such as having too much space between my name and title as well as took the underline out of my title.
