To Have Technology is to Be Thankful by Avery - November 2025 Scholarship Essay

Ever since I was a baby technology has been rapidly advancing. From simply growing up using the internet to now seeing an abundance of artificial intelligence, fast paced advancement has been something I'd never truly noticed. That is until technology and learning became one.

Primarily, school had always come easy for me. While I'd like to assume that it was a natural talent, I am aware it is due to technology. Growing up with things like auto correct and interactive internet programs I was fortunate enough to begin to understand the world in ways older generations will never understand. In simply growing up with things like phones and laptops I was given a leg up in just being born by allowing me to understand typing and navigating different programs that those who never had technology as advanced take years to understand.

Technology has helped me in many ways through my education, but one of the greatest things it has given me is online libraries. Reading has always been something I'm deeply passionate about and through online pdf copies of books I grew up with access to as many books as I wanted. I think for a while I had always taken the convivence of technology for granted as its all I'd ever known. While I had always known it was a luxury up until I'd began understanding how those without it learn I've never been so thankful.
