Recommended: Challenges associated with peer pressure

Everyone almost all of the time experience intellectual, emotional, spiritual, or physical courage and that changes individual in certain way. I have experienced physical courage when I was bullied verbally in elementary school. I remember the day like it was a week ago. I was really nervous to go to my first day of class in 4th grade because I moved to America a week before school started. Since I couldn’t speak or fully understand what the students were talking about, they used to verbally bully me and make fun of me. I was basically in this routine of getting bullied almost everyday. Instead of fighting back, I used to go to my ESOL classroom and stay there the whole day. However, after I started speaking thoroughly and understood what is being said, I think anyone was able to push me around the place …show more content…

I said to myself that, “It is best for me to just ignore them and relax.” This was the case for only the two-third of the school year. Later, things started going south. They knew that they couldn’t break me by calling me names or saying negative things to me. Therefore, they told me such cruel words about my parents and that just pushed my button. One thing for sure that is I love my parents more than anything else in the world and if I see them get hurt or someone saying negative things about them, then I go crazy wild. Even though I was small compared to the bullies, I have experienced physical courage by fighting them and shutting them down. The fight was horrible. It was like three of them verses one of me, but I managed somehow to fight all three. Later, they came to me to apologize for what they said. Since then, they never tried to bully me again or tried talking to me. Honestly, I don’t break down if other people call me names or tease me but when it’s about my parents or siblings, I break down every time with rage and

    I yelled at them, ignored them, and occasionally did the opposite they told me too. At the time, I thought that made me better than them, but in the end, it got me nowhere. Soon I entered high school and my bratty preteen-self calmed down. However, my parents became stricter on my grades because there was a big milestone that would be coming up in a few years, getting accepted into college. My parents made it very clear that if I did not get a large scholarship to any university, I would have to go to the local community college. That was the last thing I wanted to happen, I wanted out of the house. I now had a strong incentive to do well in school. I wanted to be able to go out on my own and escape their tight grasp on me. I completed year after year, always making “A’s” in my classes. I soon climbed to the top of my school’s ranking system and was at the top of my class. Though, this did not matter to me, I wanted out of my house. At this point, I knew I was not disappointing my parents, they were as proud as can be with a daughter at the top of her class. This was the first time in my life that I felt as if my parents were generally proud of me and my accomplishments. I still however, felt guilty. Even though I was doing it for myself, I felt bad that I wanted to escape my parents. I did not hate them, I just could not stand being under their control

  • Aristotle's Value Of Courage Essay

    1061 Words  | 3 Pages

    Thank you for instilling the value of courage in me. Aristotle would say that courage is the “mean state in relation to feelings of fear and confidence” (Nicomachean Ethics, 1115a7-8). He argues that all people experience feelings of fear, but it is the approach that they take towards the thing that they are fearful of that determines their courage. A courageous person feels fear and acts in relation to fearful things. What Aristotle has said about courage, accurately summarizes what you have taught me. Courage is needed in order to live well as a human being and to live a good life.

    Being courageous can be difficult because we as people often do not like putting ourselves into a situation that may be difficult or uncomfortable for us. But, as people we are put into many different situations in which we must have courage. When most people think of courage they relate this to standing up in front of a crowd, making decisions that may be the “unpopular” thing to do, or standing up to someone or for something we believe in. When people think of courage they often think of having a powerful feeling that makes you want to do something out of the ordinary, or out of your comfort zone that could cause “pain or difficulty” (“Courage”). A person that comes to mind when I think of showing courage is Odysseus, from The Odyssey. Odysseus

    Becoming the person I am today wasn't easy especially because I was never like this, I was usually that kid who sat by themselves would not socialize and avoid everyone. Because from elementary school all the way till 8th grade I was bullied by people who just wanted to bother me for the heck of it. I can’t explain that inner feeling from inside when you hear people say horrible stuff to you. To me this famous quote “stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”, was a lie and it did hurt. One spring evening after a difficult day of school in elementary school, I was chased home by a group of kids that have been pushing me around, name calling, taking my stuff and humiliated me from the past months. I never grew the strength to stand up to those people because I was afraid of them hitting me afraid if they will spread rumors. Thank god when I graduated 5th grade I thought finally i will leave and never see those idiots ever in my life sadly when I entered middle school some of those kids entered the same school I was in and it kept on the harassment the name call...

    I have been bullied all my life, I just took it from kids, clearly I did not have a backbone. For each school I attended, I was always the easy target. I let kids tease me, talk behind my back, and call me names. It seemed like it didn’t matter if I told my parents or someone at school, nothing changed. I never really felt that I could tell someone and have things be different. Due to all the teasing, I would often become distracted and lose focus on my assignments. It got worse each year to the point where half the time I would just be in my own little world to get away from the teasing.

    Dr. Bill Blevins gave the best speech on courage that I have heard saying that courage can be categorized in multiple categories. The category that I think of as being the typical form of courage is the physical aspect. When I think of courage, I think of soldiers who have the courage to go into battle, knowing they may die, just because they want a better and safer life for their family at home. When I think of social courage, I think of students who say no to peer pressure, which could lead to the loss of friendships. Spiritual courage is having the courage to tell someone you care about that what they are doing is wrong and they need to change their behavior.
