Courage
A moment in my life when I was courageous was when I was in Kindergarten we went to a retreat in summer. This is actually two moments, but anyways, one I had to jump into a cold swimming pool and the other I went swam over a gap over a waterfall. Since the swimming pool incident happened first, I'll tell that first. It was summer and we went to a swimming pool at the retreat. The water was really cold, even though it was summer. Most people, Kindergarteners just graduated, were too afraid so they all stayed outside, but I jumped into the water just like it wasn't cold. However, the water felt like minus 10 degrees celcsius. I thought I was going to freeze to death. I think that this shows that I'm either crazy to do these kinds of things or I have enough courage in myself to do this. Another moment was at the same retreat and we got to play near a small water fall. We got to play either at the top or the bottom of the waterfall. I decided to go to the top, but when we were trying to get across a gap, the line was too long so I decided to swim to there. I did and I got in trouble because the teachers got so scared that I would fall off of the waterfall. I think that also, this shows I must be crazy or really courageous.

Dear Jennifer,
Yes, that balance between bad fear (the kind that is unnecessary and keeps us from the best experiences of life) and good fear (the kind that keeps us from dying young) is something we each have to learn.
This is a good beginning! Don't forget to write a post about a secret you once kept and what that secret reveals about you.
Ms. J.
You are so funny~ But, I think that in order to do something with courage, you need to have bravery and a little craziness. :) I really like your two story of bravery~ :3
