Courage

The importance of Courage.

Courage is really important because courage can help you believe in yourself. Courage helps you do amazing things that others have never done before. Courage inspired my family to move across the world to South Korea.

It took a lot of courage to move from Texas to South Korea. Texas is in North America while South Korea is in Asia. We had to clean a lot to move to a different continent and country. The flight from Texas to Korea was around 18 hours and was two different flights.

As we arrived to South Korea it was tough. We went to two hotels after the flights and brought lots of luggages. To stay in South Korea we had to take this test were people stuff a long q-tip up our nose and take it out. The test was to see if we had covid or not. It definitely took some courage for that test!

After the test we went to the hotels. I didn’t like when the  person stole our food delivery to the hotel after a long and exhausting day.

After all that we settled into our first apartment, my newest apartment is better than the other apartments, it’s where we live now. It also took some courage to keep moving into different apartments. This new apartment that I live in now is  great. I love how there are trails and playgrounds, outside of this apartment.

If I didn’t have the courage to move from Texas, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have this amazing apartment. Without courage I’d probably be still living in Stone Oak in Texas. I left Texas around the time when the virus and covid had started. I was around seven and my brother was around three which took even more courage to move from Texas to South Korea.

I am now eleven years old in fifth grade and my brother is six years old in first grade. Maybe without courage I think it would have been harder to do these  challenges. Courage is inspiring me to do lots of things that can be really important for me and the world. Courage inspired me to do some things that some people have never done or tried before.

Courage inspired me to do things that are and were hard like challenges and tests. Courage helps me believe I can do anything because people have done amazing things in science ,math and inventing. Courage helps me get an easier life and more. Without courage I’m sure that I would have had a different life, maybe even more different than I can imagine.

Courage is a big extraordinarily part of life for me, sometimes I can get courage from a person or something else like videos . It is courage that makes me believe in myself. Courage will only end if you give up and don’t try anymore .I love that good feeling that courage gives me. For some people courage lasts forever, but sometimes it ends.

In conclusion, I face courage everyday of my life. Courage is sometimes bad or good . Courage helped me believe that I can save my allowance until it is a great amount of money. For this five hundred word and above essay, courage lets me believe I can win this.
