Free Choice Post!

Hi everyone, today I will be writing about summer and what I like to do during the summer.

The reason I love summer so much is because you have little worries about anything, and you just get to have an all around good time with family and friends.

I will first be highlighting the traditions that I have and the things that I regularly do. Then I will be telling some of my favorite stories from summer.

My Family and I go to our Cabin usually twice a summer. And 1 of those times is with our family friends. The reason that this is more of a tradition is because of how special this cabin is to our family. My Opa, which is Grandpa in German, originally built most of the Cabin by himself around 25 years ago. And this Cabin is right by the lake so we do lots of swimming during the time that we are there. Furthermore, a new tradition that we have created with our family friends is: going to the beach and playing a “Family vs Family” fun game of football. Unfortunately, my family lost the first time.

 

Another thing that my family always does is lots of outdoor sports such as Kayaking, Tubing, Hiking, and Swimming, since we live by the water.

 

One summer, my sister had a birthday party with her friends and I invited one of my friends. We had a great time, we went to Lonsdale Quay, we went tubing and had an overall great time. However my favorite part of this experience was when we went cliff jumping (off a platform). I of course almost chickened out, and everybody bugged me after. Although I did jump. But it was like a 35 foot jump! So it was pretty nerve racking! Unfortunately, I don’t have the video of me jumping right now, however I will add it to this post ASAP!

Celebrations and Festivities Post

Hi everyone, this week for the student blogging challenge I will be writing about celebrations and festivities!

For example, I will be writing about my personal family celebrations, and I will show a photo that represents my favorite celebration.

 

The most common holiday that we celebrate is Christmas.

Christmas is easily my favorite holiday. I just love the cozy vibe of it all, and the quality family time that I spend. One of our main traditions is putting up trees at the local shopping mall where my dad has his office. In a normal year, we hosted an “ O Christmas Tree Jamboree”, to raise funds for the local elementary school. This event would have the carolling from the school choir, arts and crafts, and it was just an all around good time! Another one of our traditions is, opening one present on Christmas Eve, presents from our aunt and uncle. We also celebrate Ukrainian Christmas, which is on January 7th, the same day as my dog’s birthday!

To give you a better idea of how my family celebrates, I will be sharing a photo that represents our favorite celebration:

It was really hard to get the pets to stay in place, so we couldn’t get a good picture for them.

 

To summarize, It was cool to write about what my family does for different holidays.

 

Thanks for reading!

 

 

 

 

Fun with Photos

Hi everyone!

 

Today for the Blogging Challenge I will be highlighting an image that relates to my worldview. In further words, I will be talking about what I value in life.

Worldview (noun): a collection of beliefs about life and the universe held by an individual or group; the lens through which the world is viewed by an individual or group; the overall perspective from which the world is interpreted

 

The Image I chose is an image of my house. We moved here in May 2017, and we have since added many new things to our place. It relates to my worldview because something that I value is being outside getting fresh air. Also, it relates to my adventurous part of myself. I took this photo right before summer in June 2020.

That’s all for today!

Football/favorite football Moments

Hi everyone, today I will be posting for the first time about something non-school related. My topic today will be football, and why I’m interested in it. I first got interested in football in 2017, while watching my now favourite team the Seattle Seahawks. My favourite player is easily Russell WilsonThey are my favourite team because they are the closest team to where I live, and second, they are very fun to watch.

 

 

The main things that define football are the crucial moments that usaually happen in the playoffs. I will be listing my personal top three below:

1. Seahawks dominate in Super bowl 48 vs Broncos, win their 1st super bowl.

Here’s a link to the highlights: Super Bowl 48

I chose this because this event is so important, I mean it was our first Super Bowl! Not many thought they would win, yet they won 43 to 8!

 

2. Seahawks crazy comeback in NFC championship vs Packers.

This event is so important because of how big of a win it was. I mean we came back down from a game where our QB threw 4 interceptions! Also we beat the Packers MVP QB in a game where they had the momentum 95% of the time.

 

Yet this is what happened in the Super Bowl the same year against the Patriots……

We had the ball at the one yard line down 4 with 3o seconds left. Instead of doing the obvious; running the ball, we called for a surprise pass play. Which, (on a good play) Patriots Cornerback Malcom Butler, intercepted. This moment will forever live in the memories of every NFL fan, everyone will forever wonder what would’ve happened If they had simply ran the ball?
