Courage


Courage: A quality of spirit that enables you to face danger or pain without showing fear. Many things you do or will do in life you will need a little or a lot of courage. Talking in front of people, driving on the freeway, and even little things like talking to your parents about your grades. I have had moments when I don’t have enough courage to do anything. But I have also had days when I have a lot of courage.

Singing in front of more than 100 people is not my thing. I get real fearful, I feel like I will faint or just not say anything at all. I have sang in front of 10, 15 people but 100, wow that’s a lot more than 15.

About a month ago my great grandma past away, she used to always love when I sang, when she saw me she would always ask me to sing for her. But when my family started planning the funeral my uncle ask me to sing a song at the funeral. I didn’t think there would be many people so of course I said yes. When we got to the church my family was only there so I didn’t get nervous. But then the church started filling up. It was packed. I would tell my mom “no se si pueda, tengo miedo” I don’t know if I can do it, I’m scared.

When the preacher called my name to sing I started to shake and get a little scared, it was a feeling that I had never had when I sang. But I knew that I had to do it I had to have courage, and I did.

“Each time we face fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing (Unknown).”
