3. In my lifetime, I had to wait vigilantly for many things in my life. One example was when I waited for my younger sister to return for 5th grade camp. I was excited for her, but missed her and wanted her home. So waiting was how this was handled. My sister came home safely. So I guess that could be considered vigilant.
4. Our troops vigilantly stand in Iraq and Afghanistan today because of war that has gone on for what feels like centuries. From what I hear, things have been going on there. One of these problems are terrorist attacks, but that's what I think

3. I have to be vigilant in hockey all the time. If I get caught not being aware of whats going on, someone may rock me. One time in particular, I had the puck and was skating down the boards, and I saw someone coming at me at a high speed. He was about my size, so I braced for the hit and knocked him down. I ended up getting a break away and scoring the game winning goal.
4. We went to Afghanistan and Iraq after 911. After the terrorist attacks, we wanted to kill all the terrorists in the world. We have been fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq for years. We still are this very day. We recently gained control of some key areas.

3. When I was young I lived in Youngstown. It was a bad city and everyone was always watching. There were robberies, and theft, and even murder (luckily none near where I lived). I was always vigilant especially waiting for my dad to come home. I always waited for his white F-150 to pull into the driveway so that I could go see him after his long day of work. I was always a very observational child. I watched for my dog to run up to me when I got home from school, but mostly I watched to make sure nothing bad was happening.
4. I honestly do not understand why we are in Afghanistan. We are trying to be VIGILANT and watch for dangers to towns. They aren't in our country and I think that we should have our troops here instead of overseas dealing with other peoples problems.

4. We are in Irag to fight because, in 2001 everyone knows how there was a terrorist attack on the world trade center in New York. After that there was a plane crash in Pennsylvania, people thought that this was the beginning of many more terrorist attacks by Ben Laden. So the soldiers got sent off to war to kill Oshama Ben Laden. In 2011 Oshama Ben Laden was killed. So now our troops are just fighting to keep our country safe, and let people live peacefully.

They also have to be patient because they may be waiting to get new information and have to sit silently, because if they make a sound they could get killed. Our soldiers are very VIGILANT.

The ball came to me and I was ready but I wasn't moving because I was waiting. I was waiting for the defensive player to come closer so I could juke him out. Then at the right moment I went. The move worked perfectly and then I kicked the ball and Goal. We were all tied up and that little Freddy is the time I was vigilant.

I saw that a stray kitten born in the wild most likely was being chased by a raccoon. I decided to go help out the kitten by coming outside and scaring the raccoon away.

A couple years ago when i was 8 my neighbors (5&6) Thought it was a good idea to play with the fire and make it start burning again. I went over and I told them to stop playing with the fire and they did. I was being VIGILANT
I'm not sure exactly why were in Iraq but I have an idea.I think we are there because were fighting for our country. And what I mean by that is they are trying to come over and destroy us. We also wanted Independence. We were fighting for our right. There were also terrorists attacks on the United States. A lot of people choose to go to Iraq. We need to thank them all for risking there lives for our country.

Our dads were just talking on the side of the pool while my friend and I were swimming in the 8 feet part of her pool. I popped my head up to my look for my little brother but I did not see him anywhere. I got kind of worried and went back underwater.Then Through the clear water I saw his lobster swim trunks. Terrified I swam quickly over to him and lifted him out of the water. He was completely under water, sinking. I got him up out of the water and sat him up on the ledge of the pool, he seemed very heavy and he was crying. Luckily I was aware of what was happening.

3. In my life, I had to be vigilant when my mom told me to watch my brother and make sure he wasn't putting legos in his mouth. I had to watch him the whole time because i could take my eye off him and he could put little lego pieces in his mouth and maybe choke.
4. The United States are in the Afghanistan war because we are fighting to get revenge on what happen on September 11th, 2001 when terrorist high jacked over 4 planes and crashed 2 of them into the Twin Towers which killed many people and one crashed into the Pentagon and one crashed into a farm land in Pennsylvania. Ever since that day our troops have been fighting and been careful and VIGILANT to find Osama Bin Laden the person who planed the attacks in 911.

3.One time I had to be vigilant was when I was up north.One off our friends 4 year old kid was wondering in the woods and I went over there to make sure he was okay. I had to Be vigilant to make sure he wasn't running off and getting himself hurt. He stumbled a couple of times but I was there so nothing serious.That turned out good because if I wasn't there he might have hurt himself and ruined the night for everyone.
4. The reason were in Iraq and Afghanistan is for a couple of reasons.First Since they fave been attacking and doing so much havoc like 9/11 we have to be Vigilant. So we are over there to insure the safety of our country. Another reason that is my opinion is I think they are also the to collect fuel or fossil fuels. It is a main area for fuel and with the demand of fuel it is a possibility.Those are my opinion of why we are in Iraq and Afghanistan.

3. I have to be vigilant everyday in volleyball. I have to be careful and not get hurt, or else I wouldn't be able to play. Some people hurt their shoulders and can't play, but if they were vigilant, then it might have not happened. Every one should watch out for danger, in any situation. In volleyball, I am able to play still because, I was vigilant and I never got hurt.
4. The reason I think we are in Iraq, is because they are trying to protect us. They have to be very vigilant, so that they don't get injured or so they don't die. We are proving to other countries that they can't take what's ours anymore!

3. When I am at my dads office I am VIGILANT because their there are a lot of machinery moving and the people that work there are not used to little kids running around. So when I am their I am constantly looking around making sure that their is not a truck coming or a piece of equipment coming. I am also VIGILANT when I am at my farm because their is equipment their too and I don't want to get hit by that either.
4. Our troops are in Iraq because we need to fight to keep our country safe from bad things happing to it. Also we are their to keep the Iraqis from sending a missile to come hit our country.

ReplyDelete2. Vigilant in this quote means that the people who avoid danger in battle, need to be strong.
3. When I'm at home I have to be vigilant to my brother. Whenever he sees me, he tries to hurt me in some weird way. He finds what he can, and attempts to hit me with it. So whenever I see him, I have to avoid him at all costs. I'll either go in my room and lock the door, or I'll go in my attic and read my Sports Illustrated magazines in the closet. If I can't do that, I'll just run from him until he gets tired and lays on the couch watching Spongebob.
4. We are in the Afghanistan war because of 9/11. In October of 2001, we sent U.S. troops to Afghanistan to fight for freedom. But more importantly, we went there to find Asama Bin Laden and execute him. It wasn't until May of 2011 ten years later that two Navy Seals shot him in the head twice and killed him. We are still in war with the Taliban today, but we have no reason for it. Our U.S. troops are being VIGILANT because they are avoiding danger to board planes and come back home.

ReplyDeleteTo be vigilant means to watch for danger or to watch for difficulties.
This connects to my life because when me and my dad go hunting we have to be vigilant. We need to watch and listen and pay attention so that we are ready to shoot a deer or what ever we are hunting at the time. Its always a good thing when you get a shot at something. Being vigilant helps both me and my dad out in the woods and once we make the shot and the animal goes down we know it all payed off and we are so happy and relieved.
I think we are in Iraq because we are trying to take down the group called Al Quieda. Their former leader Osama Bin Laden was killed this year with the help of our VIGILANT troops. They took measures to insure their safety as they went in for the attack. They have been trying to find him and many of his group after the attacks on the twin towers. We are in Iraq fighting for what we think is right and we are also their protecting our nation from bad people like Al Quieda.

4. The reason we have troops in Iraq is because In 2001 their was a terrorist attack on the twin towers and we have troops in Iraq so we can find their leader and make sure that their is no more attacks on the best country in the world the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

3. One time I had to be vigilant was when I had to take notes for my test in science. If I didn't pay attention I wouldn't get the notes. Which means I would probably fail the test. The good thing is that I did pay attention and be vigilant and I got an A on the test. That was a time I had to be vigilant.
4. I think we are in Iraq because we are trying to get revenge on the people who caused the twin towers attack. While we are they we have to be very vigilant for looking out for enemies. We need to show them that they can't do things like that and get away with it. They need to be careful and get back as soon as possible so nobody else gets hurt.

2. The word Vigilant as it is used in the quote means the ones that are physically fit and are always aware of their surroundings.
3. In my life I have had to be vigilant many times because I used to be a goalie in hockey and i would have to be aware of where I was at and where I had to be in a few seconds. When I was a goalie there would be a lot of times where I had seen someone go around the net and pass it to a person in the front but I had expected them to do that and was aware of where he was so I could set up before he got the puck on his stick and would save it. When I was defense you had to be aware of where everyone was too because one false move and they would have a break away and score, the way i would stay aware of where everybody was i would look around all the time to make sure nobody was trying to cherry pick. I remember when I first started and i was really bad i couldn't catch up to people because i hadn't seen them sneaking around for a pass so when i got better it was a lot easier to see what was happening and how to cope with the situation. If you are vigilant you can do a lot better at many different things and can succeed.
4. I think that we are in the war because we want to protect our citizens and they innocent people that live there too. One way we can make sure we can have protection is to go through hard training and working with some of the things that you are going to use while you are over there. If you are smart and aware of your surroundings by being VIGILANT if you are vigilant you will be able to see things that some people cant see and can be better at what you are doing.

4. I think they are in those different places because their fighting for their freedom. I know because my cousins are in Irag right now. All of the soldiers have to be very VIGILANT in order to not get shot or badly hurt. The united states is over there to fight for our liberty. It would not be the same as it is today if we didn't have troops were they are.

ReplyDelete2. Being vigilant is to watch for possible dangers or difficulties.
3. One time I was vigilant was when I was hunting with my dad. We had to be careful to aim our guns in a safe direction. We also had to talk quietly and simply be quiet so that we wouldn't scare away the game. If we weren't careful to do these things, it would scare the game away and we wouldn't get anything. If we aimed our gun in an unsafe direction, we would be endangering ourselves. When we are vigilant of these things, we can maybe get some game if we are lucky and very quiet.
4. We are in Afghanistan and Iraq to keep the people there under control, like the Taliban. We must prevent anything bad from happening like the twin towers falling because of Bin Laden. There are more people who followed or are like Bin Laden in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we are fighting those people. They must be VIGILANT of seemingly dangerous or people so that they can stay alive and continue helping their country. They will not be allowed to get away with anything like 9/11 again, and our soldiers are there to make sure of that.

3. In forensic science we do little warm-ups at the beginning of each class period. Sometimes the warm-up will be a spot the difference picture, and you have to be vigilant to pick up the differences in the time given.
4. I think we are in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to ensure the safety of the civilians there and the security of the entire world. If it weren't for the VIGILANCE of many people military or otherwise people like Osama BinLaden would still be living in hiding, directing more nasty attacks on innocent lives.

But on defense watching out for each other is the same way but a lot funner because we can hit any one with the ball and tackle them. So they don't have to make a hard open field tackle.

4. The Iraq and Afghanistan war is going on because terrorists have made several attempts at attacking America. But when the biggest one known as The 9/11 terrorist attack happened our president knew that we were at high risk of it happening again and we knew that we would not except more innocent lives be taken. so we sent our troops over to Iraq to fight.

3. I have never really had to be vigilant for something "good", per se. Although, my uncle is a quadriplegic and my family and I always have to to keep an eye on him. Since he is a quadriplegic (meaning he is paralyzed from the neck down) he cannot breathe because he can't control his diaphragm. He has to be on a vent. If this vent were to malfunction, or the battery was to run dry then he could die in a matter of minutes.
4. We went into war as sort of a revenge mission because of what al-Qaeda did on September 11th. It has been called "The War on Terror", meaning that we are going to war with terrorist organizations. Part of the war was hunting down Osama bin Laden, we had to be very *vigilant* to find him. In my opinion, though, I am against this war. I am a extremely Liberal person, and I see this war as just soldiers fighting for an unforeseeable goal.

(TRUE STORY!!!!).
