Courage

This past week in english class we have been talking about courage. It seems as though everyone had a different defintition of courage not that this is surprising to me. We think of a lot of people that are the most prominate definition of courageous: fire firefighters, soldiers etc. We think yeah thats good but we dont go down deep into thought and think how courageous ALL of us can be. Little things can be courageous in your own mind that other people may not understand. I think one of the most courageous people i know is my Grandma. She was diagnosed with cancer a couple months ago and it has been really hard on all of us and no one wants to see someone they love go through something like that. But some how, some way she is being really strong through this. Being the stubborn person that she is she doesnt want to believe how vurnurable she is. She is really being strong through this. She could have folded and let the cancer defeat her and consume her or she could have kept going on with her life like nothing was wrong. Neither of these would be the best descision so she decided to fight and i respect that and gain hope for her each and every day. I always say if there was a mountain in front of you and there was three ways to go which way would you go? You could go left and go around it or go right and go around or you can go straight over top and say you conquered it. Which way would go? For lots of people they would say they would go around it because its easier and some would say they would go straight over top before they even see the mountain. The only way to conquer it is to find it in yourself that you can do it and you wont quit. Straight over top is my grandma is decided to go because she doesnt want to give in. Theres too much at stake for her and we dont want to lose her. So what i have to say to you is "conquer it and find that courage inside you"
