* What make you an individual? What are things you like to do i.e. Sports, hobbies, crafts, volunteering, family time?
* Do you think it is important to be an individual? Why or why not? explain your answer using examples.
What makes me a individual is that I do my own on stuff and that I am not a follower. The things I do are play video games, play basketball, play baseball. When I play video games I usually play sports ones like madden, nba, or gta. But when its a nice day I like to go outside and play basketball or football with my friends. Basketball is my favorite sport though I like playing games with my friends or strangers at the park near my house. When I do play I usually stay their for a long time like 2 to 4 hours a day playing basketball either with people or by myself. I think its important to be a individual because you need to be yourself not a follower. I think if most people be therself the world would be better. I know to not be a follower because if you be a follower sometimes it can lead your self into a bad situation or a bad life. This is why its important to be your own individual.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Christian. Everyone should be their self and not a follower. Being a follower will just get you in trouble. Lots of people are lazy and fat who like to play video games all day.
DeleteI agree because sports are a big part on being an individual
DeleteI do also.i belive that you should always be yourself.YOU don't need to be a group. LOve you xoxo
DeleteI agree because you need to be youself and not always be in a group. Also people follow other people which gets them in trouble.
DeleteEveryone is individual in their own way from the way they dress to the sports they play. Some things that make me individual is that I like to play a lot of sports. Some sports I like to participate in are football, track, or just anything that involves a lot of running because I like to run. Another hobby I have is that I am very good at social studies and history. I watch the history channel a lot and I really enjoy all aspects of history just because I like learning things that we accomplished in the past and see what we can do now.
ReplyDeleteThe definition of individuality is characteristics that distinguish someone from each other. If no one was individual, everyone would do everything exactly the same on a daily basis. If that occurred, there would be no one better at anything and we would all be identical. An example of people trying to take away individuality is the book we read in class-Harrison Burgeon. In the story people got "handicaps" for being better then others at things like speed. If someone was fast, they put many pounds of lead on the person to equalize the speed of everyone.
So without individuality, academics, sports and every single persons daily routine would be exactly the same and no one would be better then anyone at anything. Without individuality, the government will collapse and many other essential things in our life just because no one can "think out of the box" or be better then anyone at any other sport or academic. There would be no point in "special collages" they would all be the same and everyone will be getting the same education.

ReplyDeletei agree
DeleteI agree because being a individual is important like you said. Also I agree about being active because a lot of people are lazy and fat now because they aren't getting active to much anymore. Also when u said it can get you in trouble for being a follower I totally agree to that because I said same thing on my blog. This is why I totally agree with your blog see you in gym leshane james
DeleteI completely agree with you I feel like you are you and no one can change that. If you do follow someone or something that you choose you never know which direction it can be pulling you in. If you do choose to be yourself there is or at lest should be the only one really picking what you do. You may have people trying to help you along the way but you are really on only one who has a real say.
DeleteI do many thing to make me an individual. For example I do many sports and activities. I don't think this just makes me an individual but I think it makes me different and a little special. Anything and everything you do cant be the same as the next person so do what you want and if people don't approve, they don't matter in your life. You should do what you want like its your life.
ReplyDeleteI think it is very important to be and individual. I think that because its your life not someone else's. You can be yourself and not be judged. If you do get judged it just means you really are an individual and you cant let that kink of stuff get to you.
I agree with you because people that don't approve of the things you do are not worthy enough to be in your life. If you are different then people should be happy for you. if you are happy at what it is you are doing then let it be. Its very true it is your life and no one can stop you from doing or being whatever it is that you want. To me everyone should be themselves and should not to act or pretend to be someone else. I agree with you 100%
DeleteIndividuality in my opinion is one of the most important things you need to have in your life. Being an individual means you need to be yourself. Also, with that, you need to do what you want to do. Lastly, you need to be a leader, not a follower. What makes me an individual is what I like to do, my hobbies, what I like to eat, how I have fun, who I like to hang out with and how I do things. I am an individual because I like to play sports; the sports I play are baseball, basketball, and football. Also, I like to eat food. Food is great and I love it, I like French fries, chicken fingers, steak, and all that good stuff. To continue, I like to spend time with family and friends and go outside and swim, go to the beach and play sports. Most people won’t like all of the stuff I do or like that’s what makes me an individual. To be completely honest, it is very important to be an individual. I think this because if you are not an individual you will not stand out to anyone you meet and you’ll have the same boring life. If you are not an individual you will also not have as much fun and you will not find out who you truly are. This is why I think it is important to be an individual and how I am an individual. Lastly,” when someone asks you to do something you do not want to do, be yourself and be a leader and do what you think is the right thing” –Neil H
ReplyDeleteWhat make you an individual? What are things you like to do i.e. Sports, hobbies, crafts, volunteering, family time? The thing that makes you an individual is how you handle things, and what you do. For example, to be an individual you take part in clubs you like, sports ect.. If your not an individual then your not being your self. Being an individual is very very very important. The thing that makes me an individual is the sports I play and my friends, also my family. The sports I play are softball and cheer. Im mostly into cheer, and I enjoy playing softball. All my friends are in cheer so that’s how I get my friends. And im really good at softball. But I don’t play much. Also my family is a big factor of my life. Im really close to my family. If I didn’t have them in my life it would be so different and defiantly change my personality and I would be a different individual. In school I always try my best wich is another key to being a individual. My parents are great, which also takes part of my personality. I think its extremely important to be and individual. Being an individual is important because it shows your true colors to people, and it helps you meet new people, like friends. If your not an individual you’re a follower. Don’t be a follower, be a leader. If you’re a follower that means your following some ones foot steps and your not making your own goals or decisions.
ReplyDeleteawesome job you really inspired me
DeleteI am an individual because I don’t like following behind other people. If people in my grade are doing the “cool” thing at the time. I’m not the one who will do what everyone else is doing just to fit in. For example, with cheer it wasn’t making me happy anymore I dreaded going. But since I’ve stopped I haven’t talked to many of my friends anymore cause I do not see them as much. Even though I don’t talk to them anymore I am not going to do something that makes me unhappy just to fit in. That’s what makes me an individual! I will never put myself in a situation that makes me feel bad so my “friends” will talk to me. Some things I like to do include hanging out with family and doing sports like volleyball!
ReplyDeleteYes I do think it is important to be individual because, it makes you learn how to not follow what others are doing. To be yourself, and not care what people think because you know you’re going to be successful or you’re happy with what you are doing with your life. You shouldn’t let other people mange how you live your life, or what choices you decide to make. You doing you and making your choices will make you realize what you know what you should do and what you shouldn’t. If kids in your grade are making not so good choices are you going to do it to and jeopardize your future because you wanted to fit in. Well your following other people you aren’t an individual. Being an individual makes you who you are as a person and how your future will turn out.
What makes you an indivisual? What makes me an indivisual is being myself. the sports I like, the hobbies I do, the crafts that I enjoy, and my volunteering and my family time. the sports that I like to play are Baseball, Football, Soccer, and Volleyball. The reason I like to do these sports are they are really fun to play and mess around with your friends or family. They also keep you active which I want to be so I diont get all fat and over weight. The hobbies I like to do are watch movies, play video games, play board games and watch sports on my tv and hang out with my friends and family. The reason that I like to do all of these are they are something to do and they are fun. the crafts I like to do are paint and that's it but I will only paint when im in art class at school. not on my own time. For volunteering all that I really do is fundraise for my baseball team or help my friends parents out whenever they need it. For family time we go to places and have fun and we play games and we just have a good time. I think an indivisual is important to be because if ur not your own indivisual your probley going to get into trouble because you are following a group of people or your trying to be someone else. Thanks for the cooperation and appretiation. Have a great day and remember ur are an awesome person. THanks.
ReplyDeletethank shane i know i am and i agree with your relevent blog you have here good work buddy

What make you an individual? What are things you like to do i.e. Sports, hobbies, crafts, volunteering, and family time? What makes you an individual is yourself. no one can make you be anything you don't want to be. There is only one of you in life wouldn’t you want to be known as the person you really are not someone you pretend to be? To me being an individual is a good thing. It just goes to show that you are not afraid to be yourself. What makes me an individual is the fact that I am not like most people. I have my head wrapped around sports. That is what I love doing. Is playing sports, basketball, track a little soccer. I like playing all types of sports but my main two are basketball and track. Not a lot of people can say that they broke a 30 year old record in 7th grade in track. Other kids now and days are wrapped up in parties and not really caring. That’s were I am different from other people. Sports are one og my main things in life. I feel that sports can get me far in life. Parties and hangout and doing stupid things will not. Being the same as everyone else is just something I don’t like. I love being different from everyone. I love that I am my self and don’t have to act like anyone else to get approval from some one for something. Everyone has a chance to show people who they really are. Don’t be afraid to show your true colors. Be yourself no one can ever change the real person you truly are. Embrace the real you never change for someone and be something you are not it wont get you far in life to pretend. Being different from everyone is not a bad thing it just shows that you are and individual and you like the person you really are.
ReplyDeleteI think i'm an individual because I'm different from everyone else in every way mentally and physically. I unlike most kids love national geographic and animals. I know a lot about animals and if you don't believe me ask me a question. I'm a good swimmer and made varsity my freshman year. I love nature and running in the woods and going bear foot. I love country music and all things country. I love and wish for world peace because of john lennon my favorite beatle. I like being different and standing out what others think of me goes in one ear and out the other. I love to smile and make others smile I like to goof off and act weard. I like super heros and my favorite is batman and my favorite villan is the joker. I dream to become a zoologist and travel around the world helping animals and nature.
ReplyDeleteIts important to be an individual because others will respect you more and it will make you feel better and it will help others get to know you.
Its also good to be an individual because it helps you make your own dissisions and opinion. people need to be more self confident and belive in them selves more and be happy with who they are. I feel that im the most interesting person on the face of the universe and no one can tell me different.
DeleteI totally agree with you for what you said. everyone should be them selves and do what they do best. For example, you like to go swimming. That is something that you are good at, but not everyone is good at that so some body who doesn't do that should do something that they enjoy like taking a walk. You posted a really good blog. this week. I enjoyed it! Have a good day.
DeleteI agree with you Jacob! I think what you do is definitely different and individual to you. i never met anyone who was in to becoming a Zoologist. I never actually heard of a Zoologist before I met you. I also agree the when your an individual you make more of your own decisions. I also think it will help people you make new friends and it will help you fell better and respect your self more.
DeleteI totally agree with you. I believe its also important to be a individual and be true to yourself. Its important to follow your dream and be what you want . You will find more friends if you are true to yourself and be a individual.I hope that you stay true to yourself and become a Zoologist.
DeleteI agree you its important to be yourself! I too am into animals and swimming! I think its cool to be who you are and being proud of it. the more you show what your into the people you will find just like you!
DeleteI agree with you. It is so important to be yourself and no one else. And good job at making the varsity swim team. You mustbe really good. I hope you do become a zoologist you are going to be good at it. Good luck on the varsity team.
Deletewhat makes you an individual? I can tell you what makes me an individual. what makes me an individual is when I am in homeroom and I barely know people in their and their always asking questions and im just sitting at the computer all quiet. sometimes we might have the same question. but today made it a big difference. so I was in digital photography and I forgot how to paste my picture onto my lined paper, I asked ms wyman and she gave me a little guide paper that basically led me through everything. I didn't feel like an individual anymore because I can join the group and know what im actually doing . another example would be when im at gymnastics practice. I know all the girls but we sometimes talk. I mainly do what I am assigned to do by coach carter. im an individual cause I barely talk to anyone their. about a week ago , that's when everything changed, as in yesterday. i somewhat think its not okay , and is okay. i strongly agree that it is okay to be and individual because you can stay out of a lot of trouble by just being yourself. you don't have to worry about anything. if your not an individual and being yourself you can seriously cause harm to you and others. you don't have to be an individual you should just watch the people you hang around . if your an individual you should get involved.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is a individual.Everyone has a different style,life,personailty, and story. No two people are exactly alike. No one can take your individualilty ,besides yourself. That's why its important to be a individual. Personally, I am a individual because of my hobbies,how I act, and my personality. I am artistic and musical. I constantly draw and paint,trying to see what some of the great artist saw,This I because I believe there is beauty in everything.I am also musical. I play guitar,drums and piano and listen to music constantly. I love bands such as: Rolling Stones, Three days Grace, Grateful Dead, Metallica etc etc. I am a individual because I love these things and I wanted to do them. These are the things that make me, me. I don't care if people don't like the type of music I like or don't like way I dress. Being a individual is important because an orginal is always worth more than a copy. In other words its important to be different because no one will ever be like you,no one can ever replace you.Plus, you would be yourself and different and special.You can't really be happy until you are yourself. To tye own self be true.
ReplyDeleteI agree that being an individual is definitely very important. People tend to think that they cant be themselves because they're too afraid or scared to. Well, you said exactly that being an individual is very important t being true to yourself and that an original is always worth more than a copy. And personally, I think your a hundred percent right.
DeleteWhat makes me an individual? The things that make me an individual are a couple things. Some of them that separate me and define me from another human being is the weird things I do like being able to juggle. I learned this skill when I was about the age of 12. It took me 2 years to finally learn this. But it’s a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I can do that separates me from other people is the ability of being able to ride a unicycle. I got one for my birthday last year and I’ve been practicing ever since trying to get good at it. The farthest I have ever written it was 800 feet. I am very proud of this achievement.
I can also play piano. My family and piano teacher say I play it very well. A couple songs I can play on it are Metallica songs, Beethoven, and a couple other ones here and their electronic type of music that I listen to.
And last but not least, my favorite thing that I can do is B.M.X. I can do really difficult tricks like 720’s, backflips, flairs, (Which is a backflip and a half turn on a Quarter pipe.) Also I can ride on walls, which are called wall rides. And other tricks including grinds. Variations of these tricks and more. I have been riding for 4 years now. And I have enjoyed it very much for the full length of my riding experience and I hope to be able to ride for more years, continue to progress on and off my bike in life.
Yes I do think it is important to be an individual because if you are not an Individual you could fail because you will not be yourself, and possibly not know what to do since you wont be yourself. For example if I tried to be somebody else and for example said I liked Soccer or Baseball. I would be lying, and then if somebody came along to me and said something like “oh you like baseball” what are you’re thoughts on [insert name of baseball player I never heard of] home run and triple hit.” I would be very confused and say I don’t know, and then they would question if I truly loved baseball because I wouldn’t know the terminology or just those simple words meanings.
Thank you for reading my blog this week, despite its length. Hope you enjoyed. And please give me feed back on what you thought of it. Have a great week!
Many of the short stories we read in class center around individuals as the main theme. Individuality separates us and makes each of us interesting. Things that make me an individual are my choice of sports ,my sense of humor, values, and determined nature. I play tennis with my sister and hope to make the tennis team this year. I also enjoy practicing martial arts and will continue long after I earn my black belt. Even though my friends do not participate in these activities, they are part of what makes me unique Also I think I have a pretty good sense of humor and try to use it in everyday life. People also say I am very determined to achieve goals and have a strong set of valves. I know what is important to me in life and what will make me happy. These things are a big part of what makes me an individual with my own characteristics. Indiviuality is what makes each of us interesting to ourselves and to each other.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me an individual is that i do my own things. I dont follow what other people do. If i think it is wrong i wont do it. I am not a follower. I do sports too. I play baseball. Most people dont practice alot and dont become better but i try to become the best i can. I also spend time with my family. Most people just sit in there rooms the whole night and do nothing with there parents. I watch baseball and football with my parents. We eat dinner as a family to. If im hanging out with my friends and they want to do bad things i wont do it.
ReplyDeleteIt is very important to be an individual. If you are a follower everyone will think that you dont know how to act. They think this because you will act as your friends that you are following. You will treat people how your friends treat people. Also if you were to follow your friends you can get into a lot of trouble. You will do bad things. Also if your friends sit in the room the whole night and dont do anything with there family then you will be like that and not talk to your family.
I think being an individual is the greatest gift we, as humans, can get. To be our own person, to be different from everyone else. Some people, teenagers especially, think being an individual is awful and not something they can stand to do. They want to fit in with the perfect idea of a person that society has drilled into our heads. Bu that's not the case. Everyone has a right to be their own person, so we should take advantage of that. We should all be grateful that the world has not made us all exactly the same. Because if we were, life would be terribly, horribly boring. Some things that make me an individual is that I'm creative.Ever since I was a little girl, I was told I had the ability to make up creative stories from the top of my head. When I was little, the living room was a deadly hot volcano that would burst at any second. And my bedroom was a castle where I would be a princess in rule of an entire kingdom. Some people long to be the beautiful, skinny, perfect human that is expected of each and everyone of us. But that's just not the way the world was built. It was built upon creativity and individuality. It was created upon the idea that no two people are exactly alike. And I'm thankful for that. Being a copy is much worse than being your own person.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me an individual is that I can be very good at certain things such as Social Studies and Biology but I can be very bad at other thing such as art and math. what also makes me an individual is that my past experiences are very different from anyone elses. Even if the person was there my experience would most likely be different then his/her experience. Another thing that makes me an individual is my creativity and my curiosity. Even though I am horrible at drawing and art I am still very creative, just not with art. I am usually good at coming up with ideas and in video games I come up with new strategies to play. I am also very curious. I like to know whats going on and I always want to know if I am going somewhere I also want to know if I am going somewhere where am I going how long will it take to get to etc. Also because I am curious I usually ask lots of questions. I think being a individual is important. If there was no individuality everyone would be the same. All houses would look the same. All the cars would look the same. Every person would dress the same. The world would be boring and dull. In a sense it would kinda be like Communism just worse because no one would be different at all. Also if there was no individuality No one would have opinions. Finally the world today would be a much much different place if there was no individuality.
ReplyDeleteI agree with want you wrote in your blog about being and individual and why it is important. If there were no differences between us the world would be boring and, as you say, dull. What makes you an individual is to follow your own path; a path that is the right one for you. I like your examples of not being the guy that does all the sports instead you try to figure out things like game strategies. I think being an individual makes life more exciting and different. People will acknowledge you as being different and putting your own spin on things even if they don’t like you. I living as an individual gives life purpose and allows us to learn from each other.
DeleteThere are many features that makes me an individual. Many are the personality I have. Or the sports I play or the activities I do. Or many people judge by the way kids look or dress. But others judge with sports I do soccer . Some may veiw me as a nice person. I like to do soccer. Every day I go to practice when I can when I get home I go outside and juggle a ball with my feet. It makes me better at it and I like doing it. Or on Saturday and Sunday's I sometimes go to the feild practice my shots or skills to make me better. I like soccer i watch soccer. I even want to become a soccer player in my life. I think it is important because you should be someone you want to be. Not somebody who you don't want to be. Don't be scared to be you because you can control how you are in life nobody else. Because if you be someone else people may look at you like you are not friendly. And you should just be you don't act different because no one will become your friend if you become someone they don't like. So just be you because you are the only one to control your life and only you no body else .
ReplyDeleteMany things make me an individual. Being yourself is the most important. I have a talent that many dont and thats being amatextrious. This means both of my hands are equally dominant. Some of the things I like to do is play sports like basketball, baseball, and football. I enjoy doing these things with my friends and family. I will go to the park often with friends and play for many hours. Ill even go by myself if.i have to. Video games used to be a main interest of mine but i hardly play anymore but if i do they are sports games. Simpily all you need to do is be yourself and not follow others all the time. If most people did this our world would be even better. Being a follower will also usually get you in trouble. Just think about it, everyone being the same is just boring. This is your life not someone elses. This is why I believe being an individual is one of the most important things you will do in your life. Also to be honest, its very easy to.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes YOU an individual ? What makes you , you ? I believe some of the things and activities I take part in help with the fact to show I am, indeed, an individual. My main priority, and activity I participate in, is marching band. Marching band makes me an individual , i believe , because i dont really associate with people outside of band because i dont relate to them well. I relate to all , if not almost all of the people in band. They're all just like me , fun loving , caring , individuals. Not only do i nparticipate in marching band but also in JROTC. These two things are , and always will play a very , very important role in the course of my highschool.
ReplyDeleteI believe its very important to be an individual at all times. When you're being yourself everybody likes you a lot more. Also, you should feel better about yourself because you're doing what you do best , being you. When you're being yourself and being an individual youre being who you were out on this earth to be. And maybe you dont have the perfect smile or perfect cheeks or legs , but that doesn't under any circumstances mean that you shouldn't be yourself. Your flaws are what make you , you , and make you and individual. When youre an individual you are happy and excited for the day, so you can walk around and sing like nobody's listening , and dance like nobody's watching.
What makes me an individual is my past my family and my hobbies. My past makes me who I am because everyone has a different story that makes him or her the way they are today. My story is completely different than your and that’s okay but that why we are so different. My family is also different I have family members in Germany and Alaska where all of your family can live here or you ca have no family at all. I don know but that’s what makes us individuals. Everyone has different hobbies. I like to swim, play soccer and like to play with animals. You on other hand might hate all hate stuff and like ice hockey or different sports. We are all have our own likes and that make us who we are.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is important to be an individual. I think this is important because if we all we the same life would get very boring. People are who they are for a reason and that reasons is so important because without it we are all average. I think being who we is important because this way we can see who others really are and bond with them instead of people who have absolutely nothing in common with. It’s not fun to be with people you have nothing in common with because it’s not fun to argue about everything you don’t agree on. You need to be your self and the right people will find you and love you. That’s all that really matters and don’t give if it doesn’t happen right away its okay because the perfect things in life are worth waiting for.
