My cell phone is an important object that symbolizes a communication lifetime to me.  I use my phone to communicate with my friends in my homeland, Puerto Rico. I can keep in touch with them whenever I have Wi-Fi or data and keep them in my contact list. There was a time when I and my friends were playing with our phones like guns and walkie-talkies when we didn’t have them; it was a very fun day while it lasted. Once I left Puerto Rico and came to Cleveland to live, I’ve been contacting all of my friends from time to time whenever I had the time to contact them. They were really good friends, and if I ever go back to Puerto Rico I would rather spend a month with them than to do nothing over here.
