Who do you feel challenges you? On the blog site, write about someone you feel challenges you. Explain your reasoning. (It could be a friend, a parent, a coach, a sibling, a teacher, etc)
Plus, take a SELFIE with the person that challenges you. E-mail the selfie to gkatz@lbpearson.ca
Good Luck :)
For me personally, I am really competitive so if someone did something like create a blog site or drew something even if I have nothing to do with it I would always go and do what they did but better. It's strange I just have that feeling that I can do way better than someone. I have a lot of people that think they are better than me but are not. Such as some people I will not mention a few of them are in the class and outside of class on my own time. When I am challenged I feel like that guy has attacked me and that I want to show him who is the true boss. Sometimes I am challenged I won't even move or do anything because I know that I will lose because I am not good at that thing so I won't actually do anything and sometimes I am like I definitely can take that guy down and who does he think he is. So, after all, I will challenge only when I know I will win or it is a 50% to 99% chance of winning. One person that I called Tofu has challenged me and I feel like I won, but I think it was actually really a tie because both of ours were basically the same. So I think that if someone challenges me and I win I won't brag about it in their face unless that person is Tofu.

"Tofu", what a unique name to call someone.
DeleteI agree with everything you said Jason or (Yu Hua Yang) but, if someone talks trash to me and says that they are better than me in so and so, I might have to put it in their face a bit if I showed them wrong.
DeleteI mean i would but i don't because as long I know and have done better than the person than I am fine but thanks for the comment.
Deletei really have to agree with you. When someone says something i don't agree with i also always feel the need to respond to them even if I don't knw them
DeleteI agree with your point of when someone can beat you at something I would admit defeat as well, most of the time.
Deletelol sameeee.
DeleteIn all my years of learning and living, I feel like the most person who tries and challenges me is my aunt, she's always telling me what to do as if I'm still a child. She doesn't see that I'm a teenager, 14, who can do stuff on her own, doesn't need parental supervision 24/7 as if I'm going to be doing some drugs, or go out and drink. She keeps telling me that I can't stay in the IB program, "it's too hard for me, too much pressure and homework", etc. She tried telling my parents to pull me out of IB, but I'm not doing that. I feel like she doubts my ability to do things, just even in general (on my own or with friends, and/or in school.
ReplyDeleteMy aunt is the exact same way, great blog Kirsten!
DeleteMy aunt puts a lot of pressure on me too, they do it out of love! Nice blog Kirsten!
DeleteI have been playing hockey for 11 years now and I remember ever so slightly skating on a little sheet in my backyard in which my father made for me when I was little. Ever since then, I fell in love with hockey. I am very competitive when it comes to anything, but when it comes to hockey I am on another level of competitiveness. My father challenges me to get better and better at whatever I do including not only in hockey but in life. After every game or practice he tells me what I need to improve on. Even though it is sometimes annoying, I appreciate him for caring so much about me. It has come to a point where it is me challenging myself. I play hockey around 5-7 times a week and I schedule private workout sessions with my trainer 2 times a week and I strive for greatness to help not only myself to get into a better school as I grow up but also for my parents to reduce the cost of this school on an athletic scholarship.
ReplyDeletevery good Justin! i can relate a lot.
DeleteVery Interesting Blog! I like how well you backed up you statement. Keep up the good work!
DeleteGood job Chaput I agree with you 100% it is worst to be challenged at something you have been practicing at a young age and especially if you are really competitive.
DeleteSomeone that has challenged me my whole life is my cousin. He is my age and every time I say something he has to say his opinion and will constantly challenge me. He says it helps me, but sometimes it's just straight up insulting or offensive. An example was one time he challenged my opinion on which cereal was better and it ended with us screaming and yelling at each other. But it was still fun, and I kind of changed my mind about the cereal in the end anyway.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin is the exact same because he's a year older than me he thinks my opinion is less valid than his but in the end we always laugh it off. Great blog!
DeleteOne person that I feel challenges me and my opinions is Donald Trump. Literally everything he says I have a hard time agreeing with him. Even though I don't know him personally I feel like he still challenges a lot of people's opinions and he challenges their willfulness to not buy a plane ticket to Washington and slap him in the face. He really tests how much people can hold themselves back. (selfie emailed)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog Andres. I completely agree with what you said about Trump
DeleteI agree on your dtstements on Donald Trump. I feel like I can relate
Deletei agree with you i do not like Donald trump. great points

ReplyDeleteIf there was someone who I would have to say challenges me it would most likely be my elder brother. We go back and fourth and compete with each other to see is better. Not academically but we compete with stuff like chess and video games for example "Counter Strike Global Offensive". I sometimes I do better than him and other times he is superior.
ReplyDeleteMy siblings and I are similar, only I like to believe that I am always their superior. Great blog!
DeleteOne person who really challenges me is my mom. My mom always pushes me to finish all my projects, homework and to study before every test. She challenges me to improve academically, athletically and in every other aspect of life. In my opinion, I find it super motivating and inspiring to have someone who always look out for your best interests.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is the same way. It's always comforting knowing that you can always count your mom to encourage you or look out for your best interests.
DeleteMy father is the person who I find challenges me the most in life. He pushes me to succeed in sports as a parent and as a coach. He takes time out of his day to push me to achieve academic and athletic greatness. Having someone challenge you so that you may improve is very very useful. He is a teacher so he knows what succesful habits to use to be a successfully student
ReplyDeleteone person that challenges me is my father, since hes always had to work hard in life he obviously wants me to work hard for what i want too. if its hockey or my grades he always wants my 100%. he is a HUGE hockey person, he was even training to play for the NHL but decided to get a more stable job for his family, since he would be moving around a lot. this taught me to always make sacrifices.he would often live out his dreams through me, so that's why i started skating so young and always try to be the best on the ice.
ReplyDeleteA person who really challenges me is my brother. While I love him and he loves me, we have a huge rivalry for who knows what reason. For example, we can debate for a whole hour over which movie to watch. We can get into a fight if I play my music to loud, and it always go the same way: I will play some music, he will come over and tell me to turn it off, I will say no, he will force turn it off, and then we will start arguing. On occasions we will cooperate. For example, I will want to watch something, and he will want to watch something of his. In the end, we will watch something together that we both like.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that my mom challenges me the most. She's always pushing me to work harder so that I could get good marks on tests or projects and she will often get mad at me for getting bad marks because she knows that I didn't put much effort into studying. My mom and I argue a lot because we disagree on things sometimes. I would say that my mom and I are "two peas in a pod" because we are very similar, we think the same way sometimes and together we are a good team.
ReplyDeleteI love your mom! She was always so nice at church. Happy to hear you get along so well

ReplyDeleteThe people who really inspire me are the girls I dance ballet with. They are all so talented and hard working. They challenge me everyday to work harder and become a better ballerina. I think it's important to be friends with people who inspire and challenge you. That way you are constantly growing as a person. Life would be boring with no challenges, so when one comes your way take advantage of the opportunity to grow.
ReplyDeleteThe person that challenges me the most in my life is my Dad. He is very competitive and does everything to the best of his ability. He has taught me very valuable lessons about organization and many other things. As well as that he always pushing me to work harder and do the best I possibly can in order to make the end product better. I am very grateful to have him pushing me to do better and encouraging me.

ReplyDeleteIf I were to discuss somebody I felt challenges me, it would be my younger sister. Given that the both of us are so similar yet so different does not help. We are constantly disagreeing and arguing with each other. The gremlin truly knows how to test my patience. Despite all of the clashing, she is also somebody that pushes me to improve myself everyday.
I really like the way that your blog was written and look forward to reading reading the next.
DeleteSomebody who challenges me is my older brother. We are constantly fighting and never get along and the way I see it, when we do start to get along, he ruins it. As the years passed we have learn to live and respect each other with the occasional fight or two. Maybe in the future when we are adults we wont be stupid anymore and we will be able to co exist
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, brothers are sooo annoying.

ReplyDeletethe only person who challenges me is iron man. since he is busy i couldn't take a picture with him so i found a picture of him i hope that will do. he challenges me because he can fly and I can't. I'm not challenged by super man or anyone else who can fly because they have super powers, iron man however doesn't have any powers. I haven't been very challenged by anyone
ReplyDeleteIron man is my hero, good blog
Deleteiron man achieved this through his intellect, all the same is achievable if you study hard
DeleteThe person in my life who challenges me the most would probably be my brother. We’re 6 years apart so now that we’ve both grown up a little we don’t fight quite as much . But we’ll always be very competitive siblings. He’s always pushed me into achieving my goals in terms of school, dance ,friends, family etc.
ReplyDeleteHe’s always been a perfectionist and he’s always unintentionally passed it on to me over the years
It is the same case with me and my brother. We used to fight and argue a lot when we were younger. Now we have matured. Still, we will have our occasional arguments.
DeleteLara Mark... A.K.A my cousin... Lara is my 16 year old cousin, she literally challenges in just about everything I do. Ether its drawing, music, speaking, knowing who's right etc. She is the number one obstacle in my life. But I don't hate her, she challenges me so much that its almost like she is preparing me for whats next in my life. Whenever i'm down she is there, and she helps me through the rough times in my life( which also includes the challenges that she places upon me). In the end even though she makes my life difficult for the most part, I love her endlessly.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog Noah! Family can be really tough on you, my brother seems similar to your cousin based off of this blog alone, only he's not 16. Im sure its preparing all of us in a way for whats next.
DeleteThe person I feel that challenges me the most in life is definitely my brother Anthony. We have always been competitive in everything we do especially sports. I feel like he doesn't only challenge me but that we challenge each other in certain situations. My brother and I are the most competitive in sports since we both grew up doing them but now we challenge each other in academics too. Since we are 4 years apart and we're both grown up, we don't really argue but when we do it's just for fun. He likes to tease me but I'm used to it by now because, well he's my older brother. I don't mind that he likes to challenge me at literally everything I do because it just makes me want to work harder to achieve better results. My brother and I are very different but at the same very similar. Even though we are competitive, we both know that it's just for fun and that it's going to benefit us in the future. Either way I love my brother and nothing will change that.
ReplyDeleteI play competitive soccer and the people who challenge me are my teammates. I consider them a second family. Since we all have that competitive side to us we often compete against each other at practice by placing bets or creating little contests. Together we set goals and feed off each others excitement/energy. This is how we encourage one another resulting with improvement or an overall great performance individually and as a team.

ReplyDeleteI am extremely competitive and play hockey through the winter and sometimes summers. I am always challenged by my competitors but other than that (and more specifically) my brothers and sisters, particularly Ben. At my house, everyone is somehow super stubborn but Ben is extra stubborn now-a days. Now that were at the same high school, he likes to call me out in the halls and embarrass me of my friends. Despite his many efforts of embarrassing me, he never succeeds (because I am obviously the cooler sibling) and my friends actually end up embarrassing him by associating him to me in front of HIS friends. Although it's rather complicated cycle, to put it simply, he challenges me but I end up challenging him back, only I have what seems like an army of people who help me get back at him. There is no harm intended, and we all know its just a light hearted joke, we all laugh it off, including Ben. Ben definitely challenges me.
ReplyDeleteSomeone I feel who challenges me is my sister. My eldest sister did amazingly at St. Thomas academically and physically. She was an amazing basketball player and exceeded academic expectations. I want to be like my sister and have that same success. She reminds me to be myself, but she challenges me to get good grades and to work hard in sports. My sister challenging me is a benefit because it makes me work harder and push harder to succeed.
ReplyDeleteThe person who challenges me the most is my mom. She always helps me and pushes me in the right path. She tries to make me the best person I can be, she knows me the best and knows how to direct me to my goals. She is always there for me and I am very thankful for that. I wouldn't be interested in the things i love if it wasent for her.
ReplyDeletethe person who challenges me the most is my mother. Even if I'm not agreeing with her or I have different beliefs she always presents me with a different view on things for subjects that I have solid views on. She always challenges my thoughts and views and that's what I love about her. Even though it might be frustrating at the time I never want her to stop challenging my views.

ReplyDeletePersonally, there are many people who challenge me. For example, a friend(Jaxon) challenges me in gym class to run harder and faster. But I would have to say the person who challenges me the most has to me my brother. It would seem weird that my younger brother challenges me, but he always thinks he is better than me at something, when he's not, so I just have to crush him the next time we do it.
ReplyDeleteSomeone who challenges me is my friend Shreya. We are constantly fighting and arguing over each other's opinions. We do have a pretty weird relationship. Shreya always contributes to my opinions and shows me a new point of view from her. We do help each other out when we need to. She is constantly showing me a inside look at her life and a different way of life.
ReplyDeletethe person who challenges me the most is my sister, she is always getting in the way of my plans with friends because she is always using the basement. Honestly this gets me very upset because at this point she considers it her space although i was the one who moved all the furniture and set up the TV in that space.
ReplyDeletehay hay^^^
DeleteI feel like my dad challenges me. We are always competing with each other and always trying to one up each other. Perfect example I got my scooter license and bought myself a scooter, as a good son I let him drive it a couple times. He is addicted to it! So to make me jealous he went and got his motorcycle license and bought my favourite motorcycle for HIM. Damn that’s it.
ReplyDeleteJason challenged me on my blog site so it makes sense that I write this blog about him. It started when in English class he stole my idea to make his on blog site and put the link to it on his comment on Mr Katz blog afterwards he claimed to have a better blog then mine. I retaliated with a comment on his blog and it escalated ever since then. However not much has changed since my blog site is still much better then his. I suspect that he will post something on his site about how I challenge him but I think we both know that challenges are not supposed to be this one sided.
