This week’s assignment from the League: Feels like the first time

League - first time

Summer is a time of first loves and first-run movies, and sometimes those two things can be one and the same! This week’s assignment for the League of Extraordinary Bloggers…

–

It feels like the first time… Write about your first experience with something. 

–

Want some inspiration? Check out this video of a 29 year-old woman who is able to hear for the first time–top that!

REMEMBER!: The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

league logoOnce you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

      That would have been so much cooler if I hadn’t spelled “first” as “furst” and if I had ACTUALLY been first.

      -sigh-

    Here it is, painstakingly assembled for your enjoyment. The amazing true story of my first job and a bonus anecdote of my first love.
