Courage ..

Something courageous i have done was cut off all my hair. I think it was courageous of me to cut off all my hair because it just wasnt a BIG change and a different look it was also because i wanted to support my big brother. He was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 19. At first i was scared to cut it all of because i was afraid of what people would say and i also thought i would look like a boy or look weird without my hair. It took a while for me to actually cut it all of so i started to cut it slowly into different styles of short haircuts. I was finally brave enough to cut it off. I showed a lot of courage cutting off all my hair because most girls are scared to cut their hair .. well at least cut it all the way off  because hair is usually a girls most precious gift. When i first cut it off i went through a lot like i knew i would. Some people said it was ugly , some people said i looked like a boy and some people loved it. I was sad at first because of all the negative comments but then i stopped caring about what everyone else had to say about it and just expressed myself. When everyone began finding out why i cut it people start apologizing for saying all the negative stuff they had said. It was very hard for me because as i was going through all the negative things people were saying i was loosing my brother at the same time. He passed away a couple months after he was diagnosed with colon cancer. It happened so quick that i didnt think it was real. But i have learned not to care about what people say and to always express yourself my big brother always told me that " life goes on and to never worry about what people have to say about you ". Loosing my brother was the hardest pain ever and i still have my days when i want to break down and cry but my mom always told me that " death ends a life and not a relationship " and that my brother would be very proud of me. I still support my brother till this day and i will continue to. I Love You Ian ♥ .

Someone courageous in my life is my older brother Robert Holloway. He is courageous because he always keep his head up and never stops fighting for his dreams. If he fails to get something right the first time he will keep trying untill he does get it right. My older brother is a role model to me because he always tells me to keep the mindset of " Hardwork And Dedication " and everytime i do something i always keep that mindset and it helps me through. I look up to him because he isnt afraid to express his self and when someone says something bad about him he just brushes it off and keeps on moving. Robert is also courageous because there were a lot of people who told him that he wouldn't make it in the music industry but he kept trying his best and he is now working on his second mixtape. My brother has always told me that being average isn't good enough so when i am in school, running track, or dancing i always strive to do my best and never settle for less.
