English Box #2

Each day I wake up, and I turn on the television. I don't like to depend on getting my entertainment from the box sitting on my dresser, but my television is an important start to my day. A morning routine is important to each person's day, and each person had a different routine. Ever since the start of my freshman year of high school, my routine has included watching the news in the morning while going through the rest of the motions of my morning routine. When I turn the TV on, I automatically turn the channel to NBC to watch The Today Show. Matt Lauer and Merideth Vieira hook my attention with the nation's most recent and "important" news. Without the news in the morning, my morning routine seems incomplete. Being up to date with the news and the events in the world is something I was taught was the right thing to do. Growing up my parents always watched the news, and therefore I was subjected to watch it also. Without turning on the television in the morning, I would feel incomplete throughout the day.
