Would you ever stop using social media? What if it was for a good reason, would you then? Maggie decided to stop for a unique reason. Like most teenagers, Maggie used social media a lot. Social media was something that made Maggie jealous of other people and their accounts. Mostly because of how many followers, likes, etc. that those other accounts had. Maggie then realized that it shouldn’t be about the followers or the like, it should be something fun for her to do. So, she decided to stop using social media.
            Maggie and her sister got close after that, but it wasn’t that way before. Maggie and her sister Marriah weren’t so close. The three year difference made it hard to see each other. But once finally being in the same school and getting know each other more Maggie realized that Marriah was fun to be around. They could relate to more personal things than friends could ever talk about.

“’So far, poultry losses, as of Sept. 18, are 3.4 million birds. This does exceed poultry losses in Hurricane Matthew,’” Andrea Ashby stated. One of Americas largest chicken producers, Sanderson Farms, Inc. stated they lost around 1.7 million birds to the hurricane. They’re also warning that if they can not gain access to farms that are away from the floodwaters another 6.3 million will be at risk. Sanderson Farms, Inc. believes that the losses of live inventory could escalate if they don not get access to those farms. Sanderson Jr. owner of Sanderson Farms, Inc. stated, “’While we will work hard over the next few weeks to get our operations back on line, our primary focus will be to respond to the needs of our local communities,’” Sanderson Jr. goes on to say “’ We will continue to help those whose lives have been more seriously disrupted.’”
