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.

About seven months ago I found out that I am pregnant with my first baby. Yes it was scary because I am only sixteen years old, and i've only been around for just a minimum amount of years myself. The day I had found out I was having stomach problems and my mom had gotten an appointment for me to see what was wrong. As we were getting finished and about to leave my doctor

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
