What Does Courage Mean To Me
I believe in courage, it gave me the strength to face all the difficult obstacles life has thrown at me. It inspired me to be the best version of myself. Courage shaped me up in many different ways. At the lowest point of my life, courage gave me the strength to push forward.
My parents had been the people I can always count on. When they decided to get a divorce, I felt like my whole life had been turned upside down. I started to doubt everything I was doing in life. How can two people who seem so perfect for each other just decide to call it quits? I couldn’t understand why, how can something like this happen to me? I felt so isolated, I believed nobody could possibly understand what I was going through. I believed that because of my parents’ divorce, nothing good was ever going to happen to me. I lost faith and hope in life. I started to act up, rebel against my mom. I started to hang out with people who weren’t a good influence on me. I didn’t see the point of excelling in school. My grades started to slip and I was getting into trouble. I was lost, a person living day by day with no goal or purpose. All I thought about was that my father had left me, a person I have looked up to my whole life. However, my mother who now has to support five children, gave me a different …show more content…
outlook in life. She showed me what real courage was. Courage isn’t all just standing up for yourself, but being able to look past the difficulties and go on with life.
My family didn’t have much, so many people never believed I would mount up to much.
At the age of 16, I decided to apply for my first job. I was so scared that I wasn’t going to get it, but my mom’s determination to raise all five of us, made me think that there was nothing to be afraid of, and that anything was possible. A few months later, this job gave me the opportunity to purchase my first car. Never in a million years had I thought I would be able to purchase my first car at such a young age. Many people wouldn’t see this as a huge accomplishment, but to me this is very important. All the self-doubting I had in my life was slowly disappearing. Now I can see myself with a bright
future.
Courage gave me a life filled with hopes and dreams, for that, I believe everything happens for a reason. Recently, I have been accepted to college, making me the first in my family to go. My mom’s courage to start all over with her life when my dad left us, shaped me into the person I am and becoming today. Courage isn’t something that happens overnight, it happens gradually. I believe true courage in something within, it isn’t something you can buy.
