===** Jessica~ Electricity has had a impact on my life. I don't think my life would even close to being the same with out it. When my dad was 39 years old, he had serious heart problem. Luckily, they had his type of heart at the hospital that day allowed him to get a new heart right away. Unfortunately, in 2010 when he was having other serious heart problems, the hospital didn't have his type of heart available so he was on an artificial heart, ran by __electricity__ for a year. Without the electric heart my dad would not have been able to survive. On the other hand, in 2011 my oldest sister, Meghan, got electrocuted. She passed out in our basement for about 12 minutes before she was rushed to the hospital. Luckily, she is okay! That is probably the biggest electric events in my life. And even though one is bad, the other one I am SO thankful for! **===



=== Rachael~ I use electricity every day. I can’t think of a time when I don’t use it. We use it daily. Though, electricity can be dangerous. Just a month ago, my sister almost got electrocuted. She plugged her charger into an outlet, and left the medal part of the charger against the outlet. After a couple seconds later, she heard the charger go pop. Of course she got scared, and so she ran away. Later on she realized that her charger was burnt. If her finger was either in the outlet, or touching the medal part of the charger, she would’ve gotten electrocuted. Thankfully, my sister didn't get hurt and i am really thankful for that. ===

=== Jenica~ ** My personal experience with electricity isn't the greatest. When my cousin was about four years old she thought that the outlet was just something in the wall where holes were. So when no one was looking she put her finger in the outlet, and she got electrocuted. Her parents were very scared and thought she needed to go to the hospital, but she was lucky enough to just get a small shock. So today my cousin is super safe around outlets. **===
