Importance of Courage

I still can remember VIVIDLY, the terrible moment of my life. It was difficult for me to communicate with my family, teachers and friends when I was a kindergartner. However, I was able to make many friends, due to my principal who was friendly, understanding, kind and caring. He encouraged me whenever I was facing any problems. Soon we became close.


During our elementary graduation ceremony, our headmaster had a last announcement. He told us that he would like to reward a student for being respectful student. Then, he called out my name. I couldn’t believe it. My tears began to roll down onto my cheeks.
As soon as I received my award I had to make my a speech in front of all the students. I said, "I recently realized that I was really a timid person. I feel regret for not having the confidence to talk to anyone before being approached by people. Hence, I realized that I had made a mistake and now, I'm trying to believe in myself. I know that I have changed now. Lastly, I really want to thank my beloved principal. Thank you sir for your help." I gave him a big hug. I heard and watched a crowd of people clapping. They looked really surprised.


I was also surprised with my speech also. It just automatically came out of my mouth. Through my experience, I learned that nothing is impossible if you always believe in yourself. You can do anything even if it is really difficult.
