Value Essay

The two items that I am using for the Priced and non-Priced are iPhone and Family. The priced item would be the iPhone, the non-priced item would be Family. I chose the iPhone because I use it everyday, it gets a lot of use, it helps me get through my day. Family is my non-priced item because I have a great family, its a pretty large family. They bother me sometimes but they’re still my family. These two things are two big things that help me get through my everyday life, my family helps with an issue I have and they do what they can for me. My iPhone is also a big part of my everyday life, it helps me contact people if I need too, it lets me look up something if needed, it really comes in handy.

The first item I am going to talk about is, my iPhone, it is the iPhone 4S. One of my favorite things on the phone and I’m sure if anybody else has this phone they would agree with me is Siri, I really like it so when I’m feeling lazy I can just use Siri to do it for me. Like I said in my introductory paragraph above, I really like having the iPhone it is helpful to make it through my day. I don’t think it is a necessity though, I could probably live a good life without it. That is all I have to say about my priced item.

The second item I am going to talk about is, my Family. This is my priceless item, the reason this is my priceless item is because, any moment can be a priceless moment, anytime my family is together it can be a memorable time. We always spend the holidays together and it is always a great time, it’s a lot of fun. My Family is huge, I have 6 uncles and 3 aunts from one side of my family alone. That shows you how big my family is. They are fun to be around. I plan on going to South Carolina after High School and living with my sister. We are very close, closer now then we used to be, before she moved down to South Carolina. I am an uncle to 5 kids. An uncle to 5 kids and I’m only 14! I have 3 nieces and 2 nephews. My nieces are 10 and 3 years old then I have a 10 month old niece. One of my nephews is 6 years old, and the other one is 11 months old. I have 3 siblings, my brother is 30, my sister is 28, and my other sister is 24. Last but not least my parents are 49 (Mom) and 42 (Dad).

These items are similar because they are very important in my life, of course my Family is more important. These items are important for different reasons. My Family, because they are always there for me and give me love and support. My iPhone is important because it is helpful when I need to contact someone or look something up. These two items are similar because they are there to help me, my phone helps me electronically and my family helps me physically, emotionally, and mentally.

These items are different because my iPhone is electronic, and my family is human. My iPhone doesn’t talk, my family does. My Family gives me advice, my iPhone doesn’t. My Family raises me, my iPhone doesn’t. My Family asks me how my day was and how school went, my iPhone doesn’t. My Family takes me to all my sporting events (Banquets, Practices, Games, Meetings, etc). My Family gives me a good life, my iPhone doesn't.

I value my iPhone and my Family very different. I value my family with care and love. I value my iPhone with care to make sure that I don’t lose it or break it. I care for my Family by treating them with respect and love. I make sure when I’m at family dinners or family gatherings, that I behave and be respectful to everyone there, because we are all family and we get along for the most part. Some of us do, some of us don’t.

  

That was my paper on my two items that I value most. Value in my opinion is what you find important in your life and what you think you need to live, items don’t always have to have a price tag on them to be important. What I find valuable are things or people that play a big part in your life. Like both my Family and iPhone play a big part in my everyday life, that is why I chose them.
