One significant change that happened to me was when I quit karate, because now a days I started getting lazy so my parents decided that I should use the treadmill in our house. Another important change in my life was when I moved from scarborough to toronto, because as I moved houses I also switched schools so I had to leave my friends behind but I can still make new friends in mcmurich. A lot of things have stayed the same in my life for instance I still take showers ever since I was a baby too. Well back then I took a bath in the sink. I also continue to brush my teeth so my breath doesn`t smell bad and so I don`t get my teeth puled out by the dentist or get my teeth implanted by the dentist.

ReplyDeleteThe continuity is I still do gymnastics on weekends
The change is I now don't do much on Saturdays.

ReplyDeleteOne change That I have experienced would probably be when I got my bunnies. Before on Saturdays were "cleaning days" that part is still a continuity, but now, for me Saturdays are always "clean out bunny cage day" ever since my rabbits came into my life. Another continuity, would be how in the winter, I go skiing all day with a ski school. As when it is summer, spring, or fall, I do not go skiing.That for sure is a continuous cycle. Also, when winter comes, I find that I have to go to school seven days a week because on Saturday mornings I go to German school. This is a continuity because it is a ritual every year that I do this. I have never not gone to this specific school every year ever since I fist started to go when I was 5. One last change would be that when I
ReplyDeletegot sick of my singing and piano lessons on Tuesdays, I picked up guitar. Because I picked up guitar, the only available time for piano lessons and guitar on the same day would be Thursdays. I had new teachers as well. Those are three changes. Switching from singing to guitar, to Thursdays, and switching teachers.
One change that I have experienced is when my little brother was born. This was a major event in my life because I was getting a new member of the family. At first I was really unhappy because I didn't want a brother but then I started liking him. Something that has stayed the same is that we still love each other. even though he can be super duper annoying, I still love him. Another continuity is my family has a tradition every new year to go to the restaurant The Keg. We have done this every year since I was 4 years old. One more change is when I moved schools from Gorge Brown to McMurrich in preschool. To me it was a big deal because I was really nervous to switch schools.
ReplyDeleteCHANGE:
ReplyDeleteOne big change I had experienced in my life is having to change schools when I was 6 years old. It was very difficult for me because I would have to leave all my friend and I knew most of them would stay there for along time considering its a K to 8 school. But it had its perks, to like meeting new people and making new friends at McMurrich. Another big change in my life was having played houseleague hockey for 5 years and then making the switch to Mauy Thai, thai boxing. The change was made to allow me to train several times a week and advance to the blue shorts. This impacted my life because I always wanted to learn a martial arts form.
CONTINUITY:
I have an older brother who has always had my back even though we do argue from time to time. We are brothers and we have been able to do many things together like snowboarding, skating and jamming together making loud music. Another continuity is Family Sports Day! I have over 30 second cousins and over 30 third cousins. To get everyone together can be difficult but we all manage to get together for outdoor activites like, beach volleyball, soccer, baseball, and so on. We even created fake trophies to take from home to home to mind us to get together as a family.
One change that I have experienced is going to power fc because I had to change teams and I had to leave friends that were in my old soccer, but there were many good things that happened I made new friends, had better coaches and fields. So I had change when I changed soccer teams and continuity by having soccer coaches soccer fields and players because we all played soccer. So in all many good things happened when I changed soccer teams and some bad things.
ReplyDeleteOne change in my life was when I switched schools from St. Bruno's to McMurrich. I thought it would be hard for me to change schools and not knowing many kids there, but it wasn't and I am happier to be at McMurrich and I met new friends .

One change I experienced is changing hockey teams twice it had its pros and cons. One thing that I was not happy about is leaving all my friends but one of the good things was that I would get more playing time with the new team. The other good thing about it was my new coach new a lot more about hockey then the other one. The continuity was that I still played hockey at the aaa level with a very good hockey club. So all in all a lot of good things changed and a few bad things but in the end it was a good change.

Also having a team makes you more confident because knowing how well you're doing or evan the mistakes you are still part of an amazing team. The con was being shocked by the amount of competitors you have and how well they are. The continuity of this was swimming the change of it was having a team to rely on you to try you're hardest.
