In this first blog post, you will write 1 solid paragraph (6-8
sentences) explaining how words or actions changed you this summer. You
will begin your paragraph with this sentence:
"I have never felt more _____________________(strong adjective) because of something that happened this summer."
After
writing this sentence and filling in the blank with a strong adjective,
you will explain what actions or words caused you to feel this way this
summer.
For example, I might write, "I have never felt more energized
because of something that happened this summer. This summer, I went
camping nearly every weekend...." (In my next sentences, I would go on
to explain how the experience of camping this summer has made me feel energized).

your parents reading.
I Have Never Felt More Alive Because Of Something That Happen This Summer. I Had Tons OF Fun Over The Summer Because I Hung Out With My Cousin And Tons Of Our Friends. We Went Every Where. We Went To Standly Lake, Park Meadows Mall, South West Plaza Mall, Water World And Eliches. And There's An Endless Amount Of Amazing Memories I Have With My Best Friend Skye. We Also Went Skating At Skate City Littleton Every Friday And Saturday The Whole Summer. We Also Went To Skye's House And Watched Movies Every Other Weekend. My Summer Was The Best Summer I've Ever Had In My Life.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more lost because of something that happened over this summer. I was expecting that since we were going to high school that I would loose and gain some friends. However i wasn't expecting to loose everyone. About 2 months into my summer i had started hanging out with different people. These kids seemed to get me and took up most of my time but soon they took their toll. All throughout middle school i had pretty much the same three friends but as summer went on we sort of lost contact as one could say. Drama, new friends, and high school pressure had caught up to us and got between a once tight friendship. To make this long story short me and my middle school friends talked and agreed that we needed each other so therefore i am starting this year with three great friends that i never want to loose, again.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more confident because of something that happened this summer. This summer I went to Lake Tablerock in Missouri, and my family and I went cliff jumping. Two years ago, we went and I had a very bad experience on the highest cliff. I promised myself that I would not go off of it this summer. But I eventually did jump with my eight year old cousin because she was so afraid. Even though I told myself I wouldn't go, I did it to prove my cousin it was not scary. Now, I helped me face my fear of heights and my confidence level is at it's highest. :D
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more productive because of something that happened this summer. This summer I had many opportunities and plans that I had to hold up to. I had soccer tournaments, family obligations, vacation, and of course traveling. My one soccer tournament that I was able to attend this summer was in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This tournament was very successful considering that my team won the whole thing. Also, this summer I had the opportunity to go to vacate in the Hawaii islands. This summer showed me that with tight schedule and many things to keep up with, that in the end I had no problem coping. I hope this lesson will carry over into my freshman year here.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more alone because of something that happened this summer. This summer my best friend trusted me with something that I swore i would never tell anyone. Everyone in her neighborhood found out about it and none of it was from me. It wasn't a bad secret or anything but my parents found out about it and thought i was surrounding myself with bad people and ended up telling her parents about what they had heard. Now she and some of my other best friends won't even talk to me. It's so hard leaving school before summer and have the best friend in the world and do everything together and she suddenly hates your guts and turns everyone against you. My summer has been less then stellar and has been my worst yet. If i could start my summer over and prevent everything from happening that did things would be so much different. So this year i plan on making all new friends and becoming a totally different person. Hopefully for the positive.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more educated because of something that happened this summer. I drove to South Dakota and learned a large amount about Mount Rushmore and how long it took to carve the faces on the side of the mountain. I also learned about animals when I went to Bear Country. When I went to South Dakota I also went to the Bad Lands where there are lots of rocks and no land. This summer I also got to go to Arkansas with my friend. It was really humid and hot. I was hapopy to go back to Colorado.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more powerful because of what happened this summer. I felt that way this summer because I was doing a lot of sports, weight training, and speed training. I played on the Arapahoe high school summer basketball team. I also did weight and speed training for football at Arapahoe. So all i did this summer involved my physical self and hard work. I didn't take any vacations, only had days off which was when I was resting for the next day. So those things made me feel stronger, athletic, achieved, and I also had a lot of fun!

ReplyDeleteI have never felt more alive this summer. I have never felt more alive due to the fact that I went to Ohio and lived on a farm for a week. Living and working on this farm made me feel alive because working hard and getting in touch with nature made me feel like I was really living. Not only was this trip fun because I got to see my grandmother but it molded me a little bit to become a better person due to all the responsibilities of working on a farm. Also this trip made me more responsible because my brother and I had to fly on an airplane alone, and almost missed our flight. Almost missing this flight molded me as a person a little bit because it proved to be a useful event that taught me how to stay calm in a stressful situation.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more exhausted because of something that happened this summer. This summer, I had something planned every single day, wether it was football or a fun activity. Although my summer was one of the most fun summers I have ever had, it was tiring. One of the most tiring activities was football. We had to be in the gym by 8:50 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We would lift until 9:15 and then do abs until 9:30. After that we had to do conditioning until 10:00 or 10:30 depending on how hard we worked in the weight room.

ReplyDeleteI have never felt more courageous because of something that happened this summer. I made the decision to go the United States of America. I have left my family, friends and even country behind, to live in a whole different way in the United States of America. I have had to meet a lot of people and try things I have never seen or heard of before.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt as overwhelmingly bored as I had this summer. After the family trip to Florida, I did nothing. I just kind of sat around the house with nowhere to go and nothing to do. I did hang out with friends, but not very often.It was resolutely horrible.However, now that school is in session once again, I wish I was still sitting around my house with nothing to do for days on end.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more alive because of something that happened this summer. I was happy to be a BMXer for the six year in a row. I finally got a big sponsor. I'm happy that I can be up there with the really talented people.I have been working had over the summer trying to be the best. It doesn't matter if you first or last you wanna work hard no matter what. you should come out and BMX with me. Trust me it will be fun!
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more conflicted because of the transition I was making this summer. This summer vacation was different then any other summer, I was going to high school. As summer grew old, it appeared I did to. I started figuring out things on my own, I was proud of myself but yet somehow I had an uneasy feeling. I stop relying on others and started to find myself. But in order to find myself i had to get lost. I got lost in my adventures and wrapped up in my thoughts, I came out a new person. And I noticed people around me were changing to. Some might as well have seams up their back, cuz they weren't there usual selves. All and all we changed in a good or bad way. But that doesn't define us as a whole.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt so active this summer. I felt active this summer because I played 3 hours of volleyball almost every day of this summer. Not only did I play more then two hours of volleyball I also attended the Arapahoe high school weight training and volleyball pre tryout camp. Besides volleyball and other athletic I got the opportunity to travel. I have family in Minnesota and Florida. I went to Minnesota for almost two weeks and went to Florida for about a week. I also looked for a modeling job in aspen. When I wasn't out doing things I spent my free time reading books two of which I had to read before I came to school. This summer was one of the most active summers I've had. Next summer I look forward to learning how to skateboard and start modeling.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more wild because of something that happened this summer. It was the last year i could go to my Younglife camp and i had to make it the best. Along with my friends, i experienced an amazing week filled with faith, laughter, energy and love. As soon as i got off the bus, the fun began to start. We did the most funniest and wild games. For example, we had to go on a quest to save the chicken and we had to do an obstacle course! Not only that but i made some more friends and built stronger faith with God. i hoped that i would have a perfect week and turns out, i did.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more confused about myself because over the summer there had been a lot of drama even before school had started. I still don't know for sure the kind of person I would like to be. I want to be kinder to people I don't know, no matter what I hear from other people. I feel those people deserve another chance and this way I can make new friends, even if I have to "drop" my old ones that carry old drama. My goals are to stay as far away from drama as possible. :)
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more accomplished this summer because I completed tasks that use to be hard for me to do. This summer I played Baseball for South High School which was really fun to do. All of my other summers i never had a job but this year I had odd jobs that helped me not get bored this summer. I also was able to get my way around town by myself which i never did before that. This summer would not be as fun if I wasn't able to get around by myself. This summer was also the first year i got to practiced to drive a car. I feel this summer was a big accomplishment for me
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more excited after something that happened this summer. This summer I went on vacation to St. Maarten, Orlando, and the Florida Keys. In St. Maarten I sat on the beach all day, every day for a week. In Orlando I went to the Kennedy Space Center, Disney Land, and Sea World. I liked seeing all of the big space ships at Kennedy and riding all the rides at Sea World. Then in the Florida Keys I had fun swimming in the pool and ocean and eat all the food they had. This was an exciting vacation filled with interesting things.
ReplyDeleteI never felt more exhausted because I had to work for my neighbor across the street I had to replace all these vary heavy rocks with newer ones. I had to then replace all the sand from under the rocks then build a hill at the corner of his house with the rocks to stop rain water from floating in. I also had to paint his kids playground that was infested with hornets. The last job was to paint his shelves in his house it was an easy but time consuming job. Over all I did excellent and have tons of other jobs coming.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more lively because of what happened this summer. This summer, I went on a trip to Spain and walked around the city of Barcelona. The atmosphere of the city was loud and crowded. The liveliness of the city got to me and made feel the same way the city was. There was a weird feeling that city was talking to me as I walked through the streets.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more talented because of something that happened this summer. I felt talented because I was given the opportunity to perform in Disneyland. I went with the Academy of Theater Arts. We were given a tour of backstage of Disneyland and we were taught by a professional choreographer. We performed twice once in each park. We brought in large crowds which made us feel like we were actually good. Professional performers complimented us on our performance.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more exhausted because of something that happened this summer. This summer I did not sleep much and had many activities to do. everyday I woke up early and went to bed around three in the morning. while only having about a couple hours of sleep I did many activities with friends and family. I would always feel sleepy and tired while I was up. Being exhausted really effected my organization and my mood.
ReplyDeleteI never felt more joyous because of something that happened over the summer. I go to Glendo, Wyoming for the majority of my summers. It's my favorite place in the world and being there makes me so happy. This summer I really bonded with the "Glendo People". I had more fun up there then I ever had anywhere else. This summer was the summer that I discovered something very important, and unique. I found a place I actually belong. I found a group of people that except me for who I am. Because of the special place I spend my summers, I have a community I fit into, and I have life long friends...a family.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more powerful because of something that happened this summer. I went to a camp in Estes Park, called Camp Timberline. At the camp there is an activity where we are strapped into harness' and go through a obstacle course on a tight rope about thirty feet in the air. I am super scared of heights and didn't want to do it. With a lot of confidence and support from my cabin I went up there and did the course easily. I was so proud and felt powerful that I could face my fear with just a little bit of support from friends I felt that I could accomplish anything with there help. This made me feel powerful, because I have been scared of heights my whole life and all it took was some encouragement from the people I trust.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more time-consuming because of something that happened this summer. I had to go to my dad's workplace for most of the summer. There are two things that I wanted to do this summer, but I didn't get to do them. First of all, I didn't go to Water World. Second, I didn't hang out with two of my friends that I went to Newton Middle School with. I don't really want to write about what happened the rest of my summer. Either way, I'd say that I had a wasted summer. But I still consider summer of 2010 worse than this summer.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more exhausted than i did because of something that happened this summer. Me and my soccer team traveled to Newport News, Virginia for a soccer tournament. We were there for five days each day we woke up at 6, played a game at 9, then had training after the game, then some sort of activity in the evening. My team worked hard all 5 days and we got firsts in the tournament. After five days of playing hard in extreme heat and humidity I was probably the most exhausted I've ever been in my entire life.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt so brave in my life because what I did this summer. My family and I went to Laguna Beach in California. The reason I felt so brave on this trip was because it was the first time I had ever tried to surf. The combination of freezing sea water and intimidating waves made it little hard to breath. As the cold water washed over me I could not help but feel brave trying something new. As a wave emerged from the depths, I could feel its riptide taking me out. Then, BOOM it squirts you out and breaks into a white salty foam. In that split second my bravery is truly tested. My body is telling me to lay down but my mind is telling me to stand up. When I finally stood up it was like I was flying. But then its over and I thought to myself, Wow, did that really just happen? Did I just do that?! Over the summer I discovered that by being brave I was able to find new activities that I really loved.
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more confused/happy because of what happened this summer. I the beggining of the summer my dog that I grew up with died from a nasal tumor that had begun earlier that month. also eaqrlier that month my beloved uncle died of a staff infection. By school had ended i asked out a girl and was turned down, resulting in my head bieng in a total fog for at least a month as all these things had happened basically all at once. so i went into the summer confused as well as at the end to an extent. I did go to disney world with my nephew and that cleared up my mind, so i could think about high school and everything else. i dont know what i want my life to be yet, but i have a good feeling that i will have a great 4 years in high school as i have alredy made lots of friends and i am a starting football player. over the summer i have learned that by opening up i can have a lot more friends then i do if i dont be open and kind.
ReplyDeleteThe video "Paddy Cats" is about two cats that are playing Paddy Cake and are having difficulties. They are playing nicely in the beginning and then as time went on they start to yell at each other when they mess up at the game. Then at the end it escalates to a fight, and they won't play anymore.
ReplyDeleteIn the patty cats video two cats would hit paws while two guys acted as the voice of them. one cat would hit the other and the guys would start to yell as if the cats were actually saying these things. The cats kept yelling at each other because they couldn't finish patty cake. One cat wanted to play more than the other, but they played it about three times.
ReplyDeleteI was a little confused on which cat was talking at some points of the video, but I thought it was kind of funny. It is way to annoying to watch it probably any more than three times. I didn't really know what to expect from this video. At first I didn't realize the cats where the ones that supposedly were talking.
When i first saw it was sort of funny that the guys voiced over the cats. After the first few moments it started just to get old and not funny. The only part that was funny was the first surprise of the voice over. There is only one question that I have and that is why would these guys come up with this? One compliment I have is they are different than other cat videos
ReplyDeleteI have never felt more pissed off and sad because of what happened this summer.
ReplyDeleteIt started out pretty awesome, I was pumped for no school! Now, I would have rather had school over the events that happened this summer.
Memorial Day weekend, my best friend died. Kevin Patterson loved rock climbing and all kinds of out door activities. Nature was his best friend, but nature is what ended up killing Kevin. He was free rock climbing (No ropes, and don't say he was an idiot. He's don't this a million times and was a professional) with two friends. When he got to around one hundred feet a rock came out of place and Kevin free fell to his death. His friends could do nothing but watch this happen.
Kevin had hit such a great time in life! He had just graduated from Arapahoe high school, was ready to take on the world and collage. He got his Eagle scout, I remember going and looking at the pictures and how he grew up.
Now it just feels like his life flew bye, and he won't even be remembered by many. His life will have no impact on anyone who never met him.
I was in Young Life and was learning about Christianity which helped when I learned about his death.
I went to Flag Staff Arizona for Young Life camp. While I was there, I broke my hand in two places.
When I got back I had to get an ACL replacement surgery because earlier in the year I fell off a cliff skiing Maryjane mountain. It was around a twenty foot drop. When I landed I tore most of the tendons and muscles in my knee. I also tore my miniskus and destroyed my growth-plates.
I'm still suffering from that injury because it's a nine month recovery. Which means no jumping, twisting, cutting, running, in other words no sports.
I still have a hard time with up hill and stairs, I'm slow getting to some of my classes and I'm always in pain.
I have to go to Physical Therapy every half a month (three weeks) which is a pain.
Life sucks for cripples.
I have never felt so responsible because of somehing that happened this summer. My summer job was to babysit my little brother and sister. One day me and my friend were taking them to the pool. Before we were gonna leave the pool my little sister Timi went to get in the pool shower and because the ground was wet she slipped and fell. When she came out crying i got really scared. When i looked at it it looked like her eye was bleeding and that scared me even more. A lifegaurd came and helped her and when they finally got it all cleaned up i saw that it was just a little scrath underneath her eye. After we knew that i imediately felt reliefe and she was a lot better when they gave her a popsicle to go.
