Today I’m going to talk about a time I helped my cousin Caleb shop for a new phone. Caleb is my closest friend, and my cousin. One time, his phone got crushed in a rocking chair. He needed to pick out a new phone, either a different model or a new phone of the same model. It turns out that I am really good at being thrifty and finding the best listing for a certain model and also researching features of other models. Caleb had previously wanted a phone that could charge his airpods and had longer battery life. I ended up finding an android phone that had that, but it was way too expensive for Caleb’s budget, so he found a cheap walmart listing that would let him buy the same phone he had for a good price. He decided to buy that, and that is the phone he uses to this day. Even though Caleb didn’t use the first phone I found for him, I was still very helpful to him when he was making his decision, and that is why I chose to use that circumstance for this essay.
