Evolution due to courage
Courage means to have bravery to do something. Courage is a necessity of life. It is what causes me to move. It is even sometimes the reason for my sadness. But at the same time it is what gives me hope. It is why I have great memories. In this essay you will be taken on the journey of my feelings that have been a result of courage.
This year, the courage of my parents have made me feel lonely, sad, and disappointed. My parents are constantly missing out on important events, though it wasn’t only because of the military. A few months ago my mom had the courage to try something new and get into a sisterlocks class, so she can have something to do when she retires from the military. Though, for a sisterlocks class, my mom missed the end of quarter ceremony. I remember standing on the stage for straight A’s realizing that yet again, a parent was missing. The marine corps makes my parents very busy, but I’m glad they still try their best to help me. My courage as a little girl gave me hope to become normal and great. Even though I became gifted through elementary school, I had not always been that way. In Pre – K, I had issues with speaking. I always felt like a failure, and like I was weird. When I was young, since both parents are in the marine corps, I often had to stay at day care or a babysitter. I never got much education at daycare, I couldn’t speak properly. And, on top of that, my twin brother was constantly overshadowing me. He was gifted and went to first grade classes, while I went to speaking classes. At home we would always argue. “You are always mumbling. It is not that hard to say ‘ ‘ Can I have TV time”. We would argue back and forth until I started to change things. I had the courage to ignore people who said those things and to practice hard to be like everyone else, or even better.I started being gifted like my twin. I studied hard and I finally landed a spot in gifted in 1st grade. This shows that persistence will always pay off in the end of every story for everyone. A Few years ago, I moved here without knowing anyone completely lonely. I was always the most shy and would not talk to anyone. I just tried to mind my own business.And when I did talk, I was so quiet that if they heard even a word I said they had to be next to me.I didn’t move places as often as other kids, but when I did, it was hard. But by not talking, I continued to be lonely even after the first 2 weeks of school. But one day I had the courage to face my fears and joined a group of kids. They welcomed me, and suddenly I had new friends!. Then I realized that having friends was fun and that I loved it. I started to go to places with them and captured so many memories. Now, I have tons of friends and know that sometimes, you have to face your fears to truly enjoy any moment.
These periods of my life have taught me many important lessons. And I hope you have understood them so that you can treasure your friends and memories just like me.
