Activity of the week
Is my phone a friend or frenemy?
Your phone can be an incredible tool for connection and learning, but it can also drag you down if you’re not careful. Think of it like those wildebeest crossing the river—there are dangers lurking beneath the surface! It’s up to you to manage your phone use: focus on building real-life relationships, being present where your feet are, creating your own adventures, using your phone to enhance (not drain) your life, and setting some limits to stay in control. Remember, life’s best moments aren’t happening on your screen, so look up and engage with the world around you!
