Who do you Admire?
Hope you had a great day…see you all tomorrow.
Everyone has at least someone in life that stands above the rest as a person you admire. A person that you may know very well or someone with whom you have only met a couple of times. But, it’s their character or what they have acheived or how this person believes in you makes them worthy to be written about. Write about this person or another person in your life that inspires you, challenges you and or makes you want to be better. Please back up your selection with evidence that would make us truly respect and want to meet this person that you admire.
Limiting your choices, is not a common practice of mine but for this assignment, do not refer to celebrities in your selection….unless you know that person personally.
Checklist:
____: a good/catchy opening sentence.
____: evidence to support my statements
____: feelings or emotions that make your bio story real to you (personal experiences)
____: a great closing to your paragraph (1 or 2 sentences)

He inspires me to use different personal devices, to be connected to my class mates and to cooperate with each other. He helps me to learn more about technology. I like him as our teacher because he doesn’t shove work sheets in our faces and forces us to do it. He has taught me so much about the internet like edmodo (edmodo is Facebook for a class); he created my blog, (the site he used was edublogs). He has taught me so much about technology, now I am getting tech savvy! He lets us play on our devices when it’s free time!!! Mr. Woods, it has been an amazing journey of learning with you!!!
Arnav, very kind words my friend. I like how you said that we are using technology to cooperate, connect and share with eachother in new ways.–Mr.Woods

It’s fun to watch him cheer for his favourite team during football. He is the best dad I could ask for and I love him so much. This is why my dad is my inspiration
Tim, I loved reading your paragraph about your dad. What a great choice to be inspired by each and everyday. Well written too!

When ever I’m hurt or in need, he always comes and helps me and looks after me. I also truely respect him and also love him. He teaches me so manys things. When I needed help for my homework, he was on the way. When I didn’t know how to do something, he is sitting right next to me! My dad is the person who inspires me. I know he loves me but he dosn’t know how much I love him!
#I LOVE U DAD!

Out of those people, my father is the one who I admire the most. My dad is a very hard working man, and he always pulls out time to spend with the rest of the family, even if he has a very big amount of work (for example, he may have took some days off, and had to catch up on work, but he still chats to me and my sister and helps us). He is an amazing person; he always pushes me forward to try new things, helps me pretty much whenever I need him, and entertains me a lot. We went to Disney World a few years ago, and I feel that most of the reasons I loved it so much (and didn’t get bored of the long lines) are because of my dad. I feel very lucky to have him as one of my parents. As you may be able to tell by my experiences, I admire my dad the most out of all the people I know. ♥♥♥♥♥
Aashi…Your dad is an amazing man. You realize how much he means to you and what he gives to your life. Your admiration is evident. I hope you shared this with your dad.– Mr.Woods

He stands out most to me because of all the time and effort I’ve noticed he puts in to make my family happy.I also enjoy playing road hockey with him when teaches me to play better and to do a better wrist shot or back hand. He also tells good jokes and is really funny. Someday I wanna be like him especially to take time to put family first.

That person is strong, because she fought cancer twice and had three major surgeries. She is my grandma, Lala. Since she lives in Romania, I don’t talk to her everyday, but only on weekends and I miss her very much. Lala always calls me “princess”. Almost every year she visits me and we have a good time together. She aways tells me interesting stories from her life (she even lived through World War 2 as a child) and gives me good advice. Every time I hear her voice, I feel so happy knowing that someone I love is close to me. My grandma inspires me to be a better person and to be a strong and kind hearted girl.
So if anyone asks me who do I admire, you know it will be her. 🙂

March 14, 2014 at 10:49 am (10 years ago)My soccer coach Rob is a great role model for all players on his team. I feel very glad that he is my coach and he has been for over four years. I have 3 practices and one game each week so I see him many times. When we practice, Rob pushes me to play harder, faster and longer. He shows me moves to help my game so I can be a better player. If I make a mistake, he gives me verbal support by saying, “It’s O.K., try again….You’ll get them next time…”. Rob is a good role model because he is helpful and he doesn’t get angry at the players. He is kind to parents and the other team. If we get hurt, Rob takes care of us. He gives us opportunities for free time after practices. Rob gives each player recognition at the end of each game. I am very glad that I have this person in my life. I hope he is going to be my coach for many years to come.
