  1. one thing I am very passionate about is sports mostly hockey and music. since I grew up with both, I think that I am pretty informed on them so when I talk about the habs or a certain signer I find that I always get really into the conversation. I like a lot of types of music so I can often start a conversation about something involving music, because I am so passionate about it.

  2. One thing I am very passionate about is music. I play three instruments and practice one of them at least once a day. At this very moment, as I am doing work, I am listening to music. Music was something that I had always grown up with and it was my dad who first introduced me to my first instrument, the piano. I can play saxophone and bass guitar. I often talk about music with my friends, which often gets us into arguments about which of our favourite artists is the better.

  3. There are many thing that I would say I am passionate about, for example music. But I would say that the thing I am the most passionate about has to be sports. I play a lot of sports and that's what make me passionate.
    I play soccer, football, swimming, rugby and basketball. Another reason I am passionate about sports is that when I am older I want to play some type, like professionally or just casually.

    2. Myself, I enjoy doing sports. I enjoy gong outside and playing street hockey with my neighbours, org going down to the park and playing tennis. However, I never enjoyed playing sports professionally, except for Rugby, which I enjoyed because it was more of a challenge for me. I jut enjoy going outside and having fun.

  4. I am a person with a lot of passion just like most people in the class we all have passion some are the same others are not. I think my passion that I love are more photography, coding, animation, drawing, designing characters and Solving puzzles such as Rubix cubes I have 50 different Rubix cubes at home. I have an eos5 camera if you don't know you can search it up. I have Adobe software most of them like animation and photoshop etc... I want to grow up one day and follow the passion and make one of my passions a job. I do the things or passions listed above a lot. I want to make it a job like a photographer or a 3d animator or a video characters designer all this can be a future job that I would like and that is something that is part of my passion. Also if you tell me what you do and your free time or on a daily bases I could tell you a few of your passion. I have to spend a little time with a friend and he tells me stories of what he does right away I know he has a passion for hunting and fishing and stuff like that. So my passions are straight forwards people have different passions and it would be the best if all our passions can become our future career. So continue your passion and follow your passion no matter where it leads you.

  5. One thing I am passionate about is my music. I have different varieties of music, just like any other person. Music helps me calm down if I'm stressing, or if I'm nervous. I also listen to music in my spare time, sometimes if I'm taking down notes and the room is just dull and boring. We obviously can make playlists depending on which mood we're in, if we're in a sad mood, we can listen to slow love songs, but if we're in a happy/pumped mood we can listen to pop songs and/or rap music.

  7. One thing that I am very passionate about is sports. The reason that I am so passionate about sports is because you always have a great time playing them with your friend and family and you also get some exercise playing sports as well. Another reason why I like sports is because even if you are not the best at a sport, you can still talk with your friends and have a great time.

  8. Something I am very passionate about is sports. Sports have been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was young, that’s how I like to spend my free time. Sports like ringette and so very important to me. Being on the ice is like a second home and it makes me so happy. Even soccer, I could play the game forever. I absolutely love this sport. Also swimming which helps with my endurance. Theses sports keep me going and I don’t know what I would do without them. They are my passion.

  9. I'm very passionate about animals. They're are so many different animals on this world and every single one is different. Animals are so amazing, they help humans by working for us and caring for us. I feel like i have connections with certain animals like dogs. Animals are so special and important in our world without them we would definitely be lost. I've always loved animals ever since i was a kid and wanted a dog for the longest time. I got a dog 4 years ago that i love and can't imagine my life without.

  10. One thing that I am very passionate about is hockey. Hockey is a huge part of my life as I have mentioned in other blogs but its more than me just laying the sport. I love watching the NHL (Nation Hockey League) and I have been very interested in fantasy teams. Fantasy if you didn't know is basically like a draft with your friends online for the best hockey layers out there, the more points your team gets the more money you earn. I don't think I am so passionate for hockey that if it were to die off I would burn myself but, I am very passionate for this game.

  11. I think something that I'm really passionate about is sports especially gymnastics. Ever since I was 3 I've always loved it. I've been doing it pretty much my whole life and it's something that I could never get bored of no matter what comes my way. The reason I enjoy it so much is because of the challenges that you are faced with like fear. The sport puts you in situations where you have to conquer your fears to get out of them. Something else that I learned while doing the sport is that you always learn new things. Just like any other activity, from one practice to another, you're improving. The sport has taught me patience and that not everything will be perfect the first time you try it. The most valuable thing that I learned and it's something that I now that I will use in the future is that there's always room for improvement and not to give up even when something may seem hard because there are ways to get past it. Even though this sport is an individual one, your teammates are always supportive and it feel like a second family in a way. This sport is something that I'm passionate about and I don't think I'll ever stop loving it.

  12. For a long time I had no idea what my passion was. I would join different sports teams and try out all sorts of different things in hope of finding my passion. It got to the point were I though maybe I just had no passion. That was until my Dad invited me to try out a class at a boxing gym he had recently subscribed to. After that first class I knew I had found my passion. They pushed me to my limits and they still do with interesting and challenging drills and exercises. But the main reason I go is for the sparing matches. I love the rush of a good fight. Especially when your on the ropes your head is hurting, Your chest feels like it will explode and your sweating like crazy and then you put yourself together and fight with everything you have. In my opinion its the best feeling ever.

    2. I'm with Andres on this one. It sounds sort of painful, actually, but I can understand why its a good feeling, accomplishment in a way. Great blog.

  13. I never really considered myself a passionate person. I feel neutrally about most things in my life. If I had to think long and hard about it, I guess I could say that a passion of my is art. I enjoy drawing, painting, and just overall creating things with my hands. Doing these things is where I find my creative outlet. I don’t necessarily see myself pursuing something art related in the future, but I would like to keep the hobby. I find art calming, and at times, it is one of my stress relievers.

    1. Art is also a passion of mine but I don't agree that it is stress relieving. I am such a perfectionist that if I mess up I have to restart the whole thing and after 20 minutes of drawing my paper is all scrunched up, which annoys me. Great blog!

  14. Something I’m very passionate about would definitely be trying new things, my whole life I’ve bounced around from gymnastics,soccer,dance,cheerleading,ringette and pretty much anything else in between . I’ve always been someone who loves trying new things and bettering myself in multiple ways. I love working hard to bring out the best of myself in the things I do

  15. My passion is basically any activity. Whether it's a sport or skiing or anything similar I just love doing. I will seek out things like this to do. I have been skiing all my life so it's something that I love doing. I could never get bored of any sport really unless its baseball or golf. But in my opinion (it may be an unpopular opinion) golf isn't a sport.

  16. Something that I am passionate about would be video games and chess both of these require skill and you can learn much about them. From the various strategies and tricks. Video games I have always enjoyed because generally you have to build the skill for a "First Person Shooter" and a good fps has a high skill cap. Where you need to improve on stuff like movement, abilities and most importantly aim. The reason why I have a passion for chess as well is because it is really satisfying to have to think up away of taking a piece or setting up forks or skewers and following through on top of that is the elaborate checkmates that you can create.

  17. One thing I am very passionate about is respect. I am nice to you, you're to nice to me. Sounds simple doesn't? well a lot of people suck at it. Sometimes I am genuinely shocked by how crappy people can be. And there can be a lot of excuses for it but the bottom line is if you were being mean to someone for no reason you are in the wrong. I find a lot of people think they are entitled, like please calm down we are actually all on high school and although you don't think so you are not better than anyone here. It gets me the most mad when people are mean to others who wouldn't even hurt a fly. I think everyone would be ultimately if they gave and received the respect they deserved.

    2. Angela you’re so right about how shocking and rude people can be. Respect is something the world is losing just like the books in the story so it’s awesome that you think saving that is important !!

  19. I think the thing that I am the most passionate about is my art. Whether it's dance, music or visual arts, I am just very passionate about it. It is something that I do every day and it calms me down. I also enjoy it a lot which I think is what defines passion. I think a lot of people like what I do which is an other reason to why I love art. It makes me happy when other people are happy.

  20. I am passionate about music and hockey. Although I love both of them dearly, I never really felt "at home" or ready to commit to either of them for a large amount of time, like life. Although neither of these things are my "true passion", they've lead me to find the two things that made me happier than anything: teaching/helping others and trying new things. These two things are what I am truly passionate about. When someone comes up to me and asks for help with math, science, english, music, POP or anything at all really (especially school subjects) I am never able to help them fast enough. It is one of the best things I can possibly do and helping someone else by teaching them makes me feel accomplished as I have taught them something. I have also simultaneously learnt from that person and that makes me marvel at the wondrous idea of teaching others. The people that I help are often my friends, so I hear about their hobbies and lives all the time. They do some awesome things that I wish I could do, which leads me to try new things. I adore trying new things and teaching with all my heart, and I'd say they are without a doubt my true passion.

    PS: If you need help with the clarinet, you know who to come to for help. I promise I will help you out.

  22. I also don't know what IM passionate about but something that I've always enjoyed is sports. I grew up playing soccer and doing kung Fu. now I don't do as much but I still keep myself in shape. Now I just do kung fu and sometimes go around on my bike and see my friends. That was 55 words but this sentence was just a waste of time and words so I could pass 60 words.

  24. I am very passionate about my friends. If anyone were to take them away from me or burn them...? Well that doesn’t make much sense but that’s what they do to the books. So if anyone were to burn them I would never let that happen because my friends mean the world to me and I could never watch them and the memories we share disappear. It would be the hardest thing to get over unless I just died with them just like the lady did in the novel.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I am very passionate about art. If my art were to ever be burned I would definitely not be happy. I don't think I would do the same thing the woman in the book did, which was to stay in the fire for her books and die. I love art but I wouldn't let it take my life. Also, I could always just recreate it, but I guess it is kind of different than books because you can't just recreate them.

  26. I myself am very passionate about performing arts. Even though it is not something you can hold I still love it. Drama, music, dance, whatever I am always obsessed with it. I believe that my future will involve something that has to do with performing arts and I want to keep doing it for as long as I can. And I would metaphorically burn up inside if it was ever banned.

  27. Something I am very passionate about is my dog, we got him about two weeks ago and he has been a handful. We haven’t really came up with the name so far but right now it’s either ace bandit or Scooby ( leave a comment to say what you think the name should be). Dog is a great Dane and is only eight weeks old, at this point in his life he gained about a pound a day and is going to end up being around 150 pounds.

  28. I am passionate about a great many things but for the sake of simplicity lets stick with cadets. Though I would not burn alive with my squadron I am still quick passionate about it, It is great program funded by the government and 100% free not to mention you get paid to do things you enjoy. With it you can even get your pilots license for free. There are many people turned away from it because of supposed brutal military standards and though it is true that you cannot have an afro as long as your hair is reasonable it is allowed. If you don't like planes or flying it is ok there are plenty of opportunities for you on the ground like Band, Drill, Sports, Drumline and even aircraft maintenance and radio tower control. In short I could go on for hours about it but I believe it is a program for everybody.

  29. My passion is Japanese street fashion. I want to go into cloth design when I am older and make a brand. People like Nigo and Pharell are my idols and are both very successful people in the industry i hope to one day dominate. Although i also like astrophysics and have a passion and deep curiosity for the universe, maybe one day i can combine the two, who knows.

  30. There are many things I am passionate about like all the sports I play, school and many other things. I don't think that there is anyone who only has one passion so that is why I named a few. None of these passions are something I would burn alive for just so that I can feel good about myself. I think that the woman in the book made the wrong decision by commiting suicide.
