Inner Strength

What does strength mean? It means courage, being brave, being an individual, teamwork and having great willpower. When I say courage, I mean to over face your fears and becoming stronger and becoming brave. By being an individual it means that you stand up for what you think what's right or do something different from another group of people and sticking with your own thing, and having great willpower, is the ability to control yourself, strong determination that allows you to do something difficult.

In my life I first started being courageous by, when I started school at first grade, I didn't know anybody. I always thought that the kids at my grade were going to be judgmental, and rude. I always thought I would have been

judge and scared that I wouldn't like to go to school and stay home all day and play sick. At school I had a lot of work for my age, so it was even harder for me to focus. When I started to become friends with one or two kids then, I began to be more focus, more aware of what I was doing, and I made a few friends who made me proud. I was being an individual in second grade. My teacher was mentioning a question to the class and the whole class raised their hands, but I was the only one who raised my hand in the second question and I got it correct.

Also, in my life when I was five years old and when to a trip on a mountain side.

One of my friends called Kendrick fall off a clef and he was hanging on to a branch, with one hand and I was the only one who was able to help because, his mom and dad were still un-packing and he was playing with a ball that I gave to him in his birthday as a joke. At first, I thought he was just joking but, he stayed on for a long time and then I knew that it wasn't a joke so, I had to go to him and pick him up. I was scared to pick him up because, it was very risky for me and him because if I managed to fail to get him back to his feet, then he will fall, or if I did something wrong I would fall with him. Lucky his dad saw me trying to help him and he ran after me. Before, he got to me, I manage to get him to touch his stomach in the floor, he was also bigger and heavier than me so it was hard but his father held my back so than I pulled and I was scared if I would loss grip.... A few minutes I closed my eyes, my heart rushing, blood popping through my vines, I felt I was about to have a heart attack, pieces of me imaged I would lose a friend. When I opened my eyes, I saw him crying he lost the ball. I touched my eyes with my hands. I felt tears rushing though my cheeks and Kendrick's dad was glad that he was still

here.

That was strength because, the situation that I was in when I was 5 included teamwork, physical strength and courage. It includes courage because I was scared, had no one by my side to save a life. I had pressure on me and I managed it. It included physical strength because, Kendrick was like something you would use to lift weights. Teamwork because Kendrick, his dad, and I had put in so much effort as a group.
