Why I Love Doing Facebook

Melina B is an employee at The Arc of Midland. She makes the office much more fun, and we love seeing her each day. Melina is authoring the blog, and “spilling the tea” about all sorts of things while sharing her perspective! Follow along as Melina posts each Monday for “Mondays with Melina.”

This week, Melina is opening up about something that’s part of her daily routine: using Facebook to stay connected. At The Arc, we know how important it is to build community, whether that’s face-to-face or online. We also know how important it is to help people feel safe and supported when navigating the digital world. Melina reminds us that staying in touch can bring joy, but it's just as important to have people behind you to help you feel protected, too.

Without further ado…

Hi, I would love to talk about why I love using Facebook! I had it for a very very long time in October. I love it because I can stay connected with people who I know. Every morning I say happy birthday to everybody at 5 in the morning. And I watch my videos on it and I do admit I loved it before being taken advantage of and before being hacked. Too nice for it to happen to me. I have tons of people to protect me from unsafe stuff. I love facebook, but being hacked was scary and not good for my Wellbeing. Being able to talk to my friends is great, just be careful of hackers/ scams. Don't fall for bad stuff. .

Thank you !
