Snapchat: A Short Story

Do you have those times where it becomes really hard and you just want to give up? Do you ever say that you can't do something because it seems to hard? If you give up in life you won't succeed and get very far. You shouldn't say you can't before you even try. Also, you won't accomplish any of your dreams that the world

So I thought to myself, I am going to do what I thought was the impossible. So as I heard the cars pull up I thought this would be a great day to do it my parents would be too busy with the guest and I could practice. As I changed into my play clothes I noticed that there was no one on the trampoline so off I went and started to do my handstands to strengthen my arms. As my arms got stronger is starting to do my front walk over. If you don’t know what that

I had climbed on the roof of the garage, it wasn't very high off the ground, but high enough that I was level with a few power lines. I watched my friend jump off, flipping in the air and landing on the trampoline. Now it was my turn. If only I knew how badly I was about to mess up.

I don’t like to give up when things get tough. I like to stick things out until it is over if I made a commitment to it. I have had jobs in the past where I was so frustrated with what I was doing, but I learned to put my opinion aside and stay persistent to finish the job. Becoming persistent in tasks hasn’t always been my strong suit. It has been because of my parents that I learned to master this strength. My parents never let me quit anything I was committed to until it was finished. Not only am I persistent to get finished with a task, but also when I am reaching goals. I will do just about anything to get to my goal. If I don’t have the resources laid out in front of me, I make them. When I want something, I don’t stop until I have what I want. I give my all and more to finish tasks and reach goals. My persistence has made me feel grateful for the accomplishments I have made and the new matters and skills I have learned. I have learned to keep my negative opinions to myself when given a task that is strenuous because every word I breathe out that is negative about my task is only setting me back instead of moving me closer to

Besides the three dominant social platforms, I would advise 62milliongirls campaign considering invest more resources on Snapchat. Snapchat is considered as one of the most fast growing social media platforms in the trend. As Snapchat states, “over 150 million people use Snapchat every day to Snap with family…Snapchatters watch over 10 billion videos per day, which is more than a 350% increase in the last year alone.” (Snapchat, 2017) The campaign can employ Snapchat as a platform to promote engagement from the public given its insane popularity. Specifically, the campaign can further exploit Snapchat’s popular storytelling feature to dissimilate stories and experiences among users. Snapchat provides a medium for every user worked as a citizen journalist to showcase different angles of the campaign, record key events, and share personal experiences; it allows the campaign to present its content in a most lively way. For example, people can choose to add geo-filter while they are presenting to show their physical location. And the campaign

I believe that persistence wins out because if you never give up on something then you will be successful in life.This goes back to the start of football and on the schedule it said in big black letters “BEARS TOUGHNESS TEST” and man let me tell you it was so scary just by how it looked. I thought in my mind i'm not going to pass the test. So the times come to go to the high school and I pull up to the school with my heart pumping out of my chest and i'm sweating already. I’m getting out of the car I walked into the gym and sat down.

It's 8:51, I'm waiting for a snapchat message from her. I really want her to like me. I'm waiting, waiting, waiting. It's 8:52, there's nothing new in her story. I'm worried, no concerned, maybe I should text her. No. She'd think I'm weird. We don't talk enough, I wonder what she thinks, I should send her a message. No, I shouldn't but Click. It's 8:53, maybe she's tired, maybe that why she didn't see my snapchat story, like my Instagram post, or text me. I really want to talk to her face to face, but instead I can only see her on a phone screen. It's 8:54, I'm starting the feel the bitterness between my fingertips. I'm starting to feel the paleness on my face. The paleness, the frailness of my emotions, the sound of the staleness, emotionless light on my phone display.

Snapchat is a mobile social media app that takes pictures of anything to send to your friends. Snapchat is possibly one of the easiest social media apps to use, since the steps are very simple to follow; for example, how to download, how to use, and how to obtain “friends” is the required process to obtain Snapchat. The first step would be having your smartphone available to start using; go to home screen on your phone, depending on which phone you have, the downloading store will be different, search for “Snapchat” click download, enter your password to download and presto you have a new app on your phone. Next, click on the app, the app will open and bring you to the sign in/make an account page; select “make a new account” then think of

In 2011, Reggie Brown, Evan Spiegel, and Bobby Murphy published an app that would define communication for the next generation: Picaboo. The name didn’t last more than ten seconds. Quickly name-changed to Snapchat, the app was designed for one purpose: to privately exchange scandalous photos between users. Not quite the most respectable beginnings, but they were only temporary, soon Snapchat grew into a multi billion dollar app with multiple features and hundreds of millions of daily users. Now the app is used to communicate ideas, memories, and events all through photos. But will the impermanent picture trend be impermanent? Of course not.

Others would describe my ability to persevere as persistent especially when it comes to nursing school and accomplishing my dreams or something that I’m fond of.

With the bravery of attempting my first backflip on my trampoline with the sound of the springs knowing that I landed.

The next day I went to gymnastics and everyone had learned how to jump to the high bar. I t was my dream to master it. I took a deep breath in and walked into the gym. ' get to work' yelled my gymnastics coach. The student really good said to me, 'don't worry you can do it ' I kind of like them know. You will be practicing jumping

We as humans tend to doubt ourselves and underestimate our capabilities. We forget how smart, and how skilled we are. Sometimes when things get hard we give up instead of pushing through. A quote by Jennifer Freeman says, “You are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your way” (Freeman).

“I've stuck the landing!” I said to myself. This is a moment that makes me feel proud about myself. It was the middle of March my 5th grade year , and I was really dedicated to gymnastics and dance. These classes consumed a lot of my time. I had always wanted to be on the St.Amant Middle School Dance Team but didn't realize that gymnastics and dance would interfere with each other. When I told most of my friends that I wanted to try out , they warned me about the amount of practices that I will have to attend. My mom knew this and keyed telling me “You can’t do both so you'll have to choose”.

There was one time where I had to fight myself to not give up. That was when I decided to become a teacher.
