1) Meaningful Quote: “The earth has music for those who listen.” – William Shakespeare

Postful.ly on Twitter: "The earth has music for those that listen. - William Shakespeare | Made with http://t.co/nh0mjlybsP http://t.co/rXTPbF70QW"

The reason I chose this quote is because I love the outdoors. I think that this quote is saying that Nature has such beautiful sounds, but a lot of us don’t even realize it. If you just stop and listen for a minute you can hear many sounds like birds chirping, and the gusts of wind. I remember in Grade 7 on online school, we had to go outside and listen and record what we heard for a task for an assignment, I heard many different types of birds chirping.

2) Embedded Video:

 

I chose this video because it inspires me a lot. I discovered it quite a while ago and I have re-watched it a lot of times. I just find it really cool that a kid my age or a year older can do such amazing things on his skis. Since then he gets a video pretty much every year showing his skills, I love to ski and try to do harder things, I’m nowhere near as good as him, I’m pretty good at skiing but still not as good as him, I do try doing new things and I improve every season.

3) Inspiring Picture: 

For teenage daredevil Kai Jones, the ski's the limit

I chose this as my inspiring picture because it’s a kid that’s about my age soaring through the air on his skis. It’s the same kid from the video I shared in this same assignment. This picture shows him flying through the air while doing a trick. It inspires me to learn how to drop of cliffs, I have done some small drops before but they weren’t cliffs, he even has a video on YouTube where he explains how to drop a cliff. He is also doing a trick while in the air, I’m don’t really know any tricks at all but I would definitely want to learn one in the next season. He inspires me to improve my skiing abilities and to learn other things.

4) Create a Hyperlink: The North Face

The reason I chose the official North Face website for my hyperlink is because I do a lot of activities in the winter and North Face has good jackets and pants for skiing and hiking. Some of their jackets and pants are really good for snow and windy conditions while also being breathable, meaning you wont sweat as much inside them.
