There are times in our lives when we show courage. We can use these events to grow and learn. I showed courage this past summer when I went fishing in Michigan.
I went deep sea fishing with my Dad, Amir my brother, Dad's brother-in-law and my cousin in Lake Michigan. We went during a big rain storm that lasted 6 hours. I was so scared because not only did the storm last six hours, but the storm was rocking the boat, and we were not wearing life-jackets because they said they didn't have five life jackets, they only had one and the water was 700 feet deep. I don't know if they said that to scare us, but I was scared. I had to focus on catching fish so I would not think about it.
I was focused and brave. I caught the biggest fish of the day! I also learned that there were life vests for the whole group and they had been joking with us in the beginning. I became braver this day. I knew I was a good swimmer and not having the vests in the beginning of the trip really didn't scare me that much. Even though the water was rough and the storm lasted the whole trip, I still made it a successful trip by continuing fishing and catching dinner that day.
Adam,
ReplyDeleteYou have written a very interesting blog, you gave great examples in courage by saying that you can grow and learn from courage. Although you said that you were scared in the begging because there weren't enough life vests and later you said you weren't scared because you were a good swimmer. You may have thought that anyone could of understood. You may want to add more details.
Adam,
ReplyDeleteYou wrote a three nicest paragraph. Although it's only three, you explained a lot about the fishing trip especially the conclusion.
