How to use energetic in a sentence?

1. Richard Jones:

   That’s what I connect with, [Halyna and Sarah] sounded so similar in personality. They were vibrant, energetic, always smiling and just a force of positive energy. You could just tell from the people that they came in contact with – what a positive difference they made in their lives. We have more work to do.

2. Yvette Simpson:

   The idea that at the most critical moment for our party and for country, party leadership is attacking the most energetic and the most bold of us and, frankly, our present and our future, is appalling to me.

3. David Rosen:

   Midland County's not Midland County, Midland County's Join Beto O'Rourke, join Beto O'Rourke's energetic, Join Beto O'Rourke speaks well, Join Beto O'Rourke conveys Join Beto O'Rourke ideas well, and Join Beto O'Rourke acknowledges that he is not a far-left Democrat, a far-right Democrat -- he's concerned about getting things done, and he reaches across the aisle. And people love that.

4. Kenneth Sherrill:

   I really think that Kathy Hochul needs a young, energetic progressive person as lieutenant governor. It's the easiest way, quickly, to reach out to the community that is most problematic for Kathy Hochul in the primary, some of me thinks she'll want to have a man( on the ticket), but I don't think that there's anything terribly politically problematic about having two women. I think that might help her in a primary.

5. Ben Robinson:

   I am looking for The Original Series, with a 21st century budget, if they can combine sophisticated stories with beautiful special effects and the 1960s' Right Stuff' energetic storytelling, then I'm going to be over the moon.
