Fearless means fears don’t stop you. I am passionate about dance. My favorite style is acrobatics. Acro is fun to perform, and it is exhilarating to execute! The feeling when running down the stage, just before my feet leave the ground: fear. I train for hours to complete the skills, and I am confident I can do them, but the fear of landing wrong is always there, pinning my eyelids open when I’m upside down in the air. This fear pushes me to be better. I don’t practice until I get a skill right. I face my fear and practice until I can’t do it wrong. Some of my fears could probably be considered irrational and silly, but others are very real. Flies are frightening creatures. They buzz around and pose as bees! Peanuts shouldn’t be scary, but living with a life threatening allergy to peanuts is justifiably frightening. Walking through cafeterias could pose a danger, and any piece of food has the potential to kill me. I have come to accept this, as I was diagnosed when I was two years old. Instead of living my life in constant fear of coming into contact with an allergen, I take opportunities as they come, and adjust to stay safe. Being afraid isn’t bad, it means you care, but you should not live your entire life in fear. I have plenty of fears, but I am

Television was an invention designed to entertain and inform. Created in the 1920s by John Logie Baird, TV has become an indispensable piece of furniture in most American dwellings. Every child, at least once in their lives have heard their mothers tell them that spending long periods of time in front of a screen will damage their brain. Two opposite arguments question all mothers’ hypothesis. Steven Johnson in “Watching TV Makes You Smarter” claims that over the years TV has become more complex. He considers that this complexity forces the brain to work. Dana Stevens in “Thinking Outside the Idiot Box” argues that there are many cons in the issue and that watching TV does not make anybody smarter. Instead,
Many people confuse courage for not being scared of what could happen, Franklin D. Roosevelt once said that “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important that fear.” Courage isn’t being able to act like nothing will scare you or make life more difficult, it’s the ability to realize that something will be difficult or scary and you overcome the difficulty. Courage is the ability to overcome hardship, not avoid it or create more of it to make yourself seem more
S. E. Hinton broke new ground in young adult fiction with the publication of The Outsiders. The novel’s gritty, realist portrayal of teenage life was striking, as was the fact that it was written by a teenaged woman. Hinton has stated that she wrote The Outsiders because it was the kind of story that she wanted to read. Tired of books filled with clichés and obligatory happy endings, she longed to write stories about real people with real problems, hoping to earn the respect of her audience by giving them stories to which they could relate. Hinton started a trend in young adult writing, which became a battleground for readers, parents, teachers, and librarians.
Showing that at a young age, we don’t control and manage our emotions too well yet. All five can work in the same place, but aren’t able to share moments or don’t let Riley have more than one emotion at the same time. Sadness was especially left out the most. Everyone thought she was sort of bad for Riley. Whenever sadness would get involved, the memories would instantly turn sad. She was like that bad vibe that’s always negative in the group of friends. But this completely changes as the movie progresses and Joy realizes that Sadness is needed for the happiness and well-being of Riley. In the movie, something happens and Joy and Sadness are both sucked out of “Headquarters” through a tube that transports memories. This creates panic and turmoil for the other emotions. Finally Anger basically takes over and Riley decides to run away from her parents and move back to her small town in the mid-west. Joy finds a way to get Sadness and her up to “Headquarters”. When they reach Headquarters, Joy makes Sadness touch some of the happy memories and they Riley begins to feel sad about the choice she is making and decides to return to her family. At home both her parents are aroused because they can’t find their daughter. When Riley walks in, with the help of Sadness, she breaks down and explains how she feels about the drastic and the sudden move. Her parents had
I believe this is a great strength to have, but I also see it as a weakness. I believe being this way has helped me in having fewer regrets, but I also realize it has caused me to take less risks. When people are overly cautious, they tend to fear the worst of situations, which could cause them to stray from improving themselves because they are hesitant. For example, my husband and I have wanted to move for a couple years and I always feared we might end up not receiving suitable jobs and end up living pay check to pay check. However, I realized after many years, we could have come across different opportunities than we have had in Dalhart, TX. I feel we have lived a great life here, but I also believe there is so much more out there and my fear has held us back a little in pursing certain life events. In addition, it is important to not act on impulse, but it is equally important to not remain overly cautious.
