A mnemonic device is a device
used to remember things. For, example P.E.M.D.A.S, this device is taught to
toddlers in elementary school to know the Order of Operations, Parenthesis,
Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. Now that we
have gone over a mnemonic devices. The mnemonic device that I came up with is
U.G.L.Y, It stands for Under Greatness Lies Yourself. The reason I wanted to
come up with device is so that teenagers going through puberty and aren’t
confident of who they are, I want them to remember that everyone is great in
some aspect or another using this device.
U.LG.Y can be used with anyone, for example in when i was playing with my soccer team at Sunday nights, we always went against other teams that were very competitive matches
we knew we were a good team with chemistry but always seem to be "Choke
artists" when it came to the Win for fourth quarter. seems like every
time we had to go against another team that was giving us trouble we
made more mistakes to lose the game. That's where U.G.LY came in and helped us win games because everyone in our team had a certain Position where he or she dominated.

Mnemonic Device
The mnemonic device that I came up with as an acronym is U.G.L.Y., It stands for Under Greatness Lies Yourself. The reason I wanted to come up with device that would focus on the teenagers to give their self-esteem up. Teenagers going through puberty and are not always confident of who they are, I want them to remember that everyone is great in some aspect or another using this device. The Device U.G.L.Y. is just a reminder to anyone that everyone is good at something even if you have not found that something yet, Some people are just lucky at an early age to find out what he are god at.
U.LG.Y can be used with anyone, for example in when I use to playing with my soccer team at Sunday nights to compete against other teams we knew we were a good team with chemistry but always seem to be "Choke artists" when it came to the Win for fourth quarter. Every time we had to go against another team that was giving us trouble we made more mistakes to lose the game. That’s where U.G.L.Y. came in and helped us win games because everyone in our team had a certain Position where he or she dominated.
When teenagers are growing up it is hard for them to shine because everyone is competing against each other whether it’s in math, English, or even in sports. Nobody wants to feel left out when everyone has something to be good at. So in this situation it people could use the acronym to remind themselves that they are good at something but have not found that something yet.
