Camaeron's Story

This story or set of little quotes is from someone very important, whose words are short but meaningful.

By Kylie W. from Zuni High School in New Mexico

According to Camaeron, in a perfect world we would be communicating from person to person, without any mediating technology. The reason he thinks this is because when you're face to face with a person, you can easily see their emotions and if they are lying to you in any way. He almost said that because we have cellphones now and are always on them, we don't make time to meet people in real life anymore. 

Camaeron's advice to himself is not to mess up in any way. The reason he said this was because in the past, he has done bad things. Because of this, he regrets everything wrong he did. According to him, "Some of the things I did wrong, I regret now because I almost lost someone important to me."
