Why students need to drop the phone and pick up a book
February 10, 2023
I don’t understand how students are still being indulged in their phones. Books offer so much more to them and are never taken advantage of. Through a book, you can learn about new places and feel connected to characters you read about. Being able to relate to a character allows for a sense of comfort and can be nice when you feel alone or are just in a rough spot in life. Books are also free, and we all have access to so many in the library, so what are you waiting for? Go pick up a book and explore!

I know a lot of the students, so that makes it a little bit easier coming from Cabrillo, and it's been nice to see them all grown up."
