Katie took an evening to write a presentation and call a “family meeting”. Here’s her argument for a cellphone.
MY TOP REASONS WHY I NEED I CELL PHONE!!!!
by katie hoffswell
Reason 1, After School Activities
Since I am now in 6th grade and have after school activities to go to,don’t
you think it would be nice if I actuly knew who was picking me up? I do.
Some activities my mom or dad can’t pick my up for. If i had a phone, i
could call some one to see who to look for. If who ever is picking me up
dosnt know where to go, they could call me and i could give them the exact
location. Also, since student council meetings randomly come up every week,
i dont know when I’m going to be staying late after school. It would relive
the worries from my mom if she actully knew where I was. Now you may be
thinking that i could just use the office phone or someone elses cell phone.
First of all, after school they lock up the office so no one can get in! I
couldnt use that phone. Second i have used other peoples phones before but
i feel very silly because i dont know them because all of my friends have
left. I dont want to waist any ones minutes and i once have had to call 5
times before i got ahold of someone!!!! I bet the person was thinking “why
dosnt she have her own phone??? she is waisting my minutes!!” I would hope
that you dont want me in that position ever agian.
Reason 2, Responsibility and Money…CHEAP!
I know that you are probably thinking “how is she going to keep a cell phone
with out loosing it or going over her plan minutes???” I can assure you that
i will be 1000000000000000000000000000000000000% responsible and since i
know that you trust me with this, i will definanlty be happyer!!! If i ever
lose it, you can ground me for as long as i can pay for it with alowence and
extra work around the house. I have found a plan on [...]com. With
an LG AX4270 phone (wich is really cool) i can get 300 minutes a month for
29.99. Now, with my alwoence coming to about 20 dollors a month, i will let
you lower it to help pay for the bill. Or you can have me doing more chores.
I can also use my babysitting money to help pay for it (when i start baby
sitting of coarse). I promise that you wont regret geting me a phone if you
do!
In Conclusion…..
I know that you will think that a cell phone was definantly a good idea for
me if you get me one. I really need it for after school activities!!!!!! Its
really cheap too with my ideas. I realy belive that i can handle this
responsablity now. Pleasssssssse get me a cell phone and ill be the happeyst
girl alive!!!!!!!!!! I really need one now!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you!!!!!!
I definitely need to show her how to use a spelling checker. Oh, and definitely need to get her a phone.
She earned it alright! Now if you could just get her to plug it in at night!
