The Definition Of Bravery

Improved Essays
Bravery is something not everyone can have the courage to represent. I on the other hand have gone through a lot to show that I am brave. My personal experiences have shown the amount of bravery i've shown in my life. When you look up the word bravery the definition that comes up is "courageous behavior or character." I have shown the bravery I have in these last few months.

As we were eating I had told my mom that I was going to tell thet baby's father, I had text him "Hey, I know its been a few weeks since we last talked I just wanted to let you know that I found out soemthing that I don't want you to freak out but I am a month pregnant." He responded a few seconds later asking if I was getting an abortion, I had told him that yet I am young I don't believe in that. We got in an arguement, I soon stopped responding.

Once twelve weeks hit I had to tell my dad as …show more content…
Just like when I had told him I was nervous and still didnt know really what to say. Instead I had taken a piece of paper out of a notebook wrote out what I was going to say and read it over and over to myself before typing it. I had my mom and a couple friends read it just before I typed it as well. I put itinto my phone went over it a couple more times and finally sent it. I had put evrything i've gone through trying to get a more understanding of where I was at in the pregnancy. His mom answered in sympathy and had called my mom right away. Our moms had talked and were both on the same page. My baby's father soon after had kept in touch with me more then he was before, but now even his mom and sister have kept in touch. I've become closer to his mom more and more each time we talk and everything is as good as can be. I am now seven motnhs living life better than ever getting ready for my handsome baby boy who will be here soon. The courage and bravery that I have developed through this life situation has gotten stronger and stronger everyday. Most people go through different life lessons each day creating bravery for themselves, everyone is different and I am happy I now have more bravery than
