I am brave because I am not afraid of animals. If I saw a snake I would kill it. I wouldn’t even care if it was poisonous. That is how I think I am brave.

To me being brave is not being afraid of something. I also think it is to do something that you were always afraid of. I also think being brave is to stick to what you believe in and fight for it. That is what I think brae means.

My dad is brave because he is not of afraid to get in the buffalo pin. I am always afraid when I go in there. But my dad isn’t. That is why I think my dad is brave.

What is bravery? Bravery is an act of kindness. Bravery can also be an act of trust. I think of bravery in these ways, because you have to be kind and trustful in order to be brave. Bravery is a very good quality to have.

I think my brother is very brave, because he is always there for me. The reason I think this is an act of bravery is, because no matter what situation I would be in he will be there. He is a very reliable person, and to me that means you are brave.

I also think my parents are brave. Well, first off they are brave for raising my brother and me. They also show bravery by standing up for what they believe in. My parents never back down from a challenge, and if they face a problem they take it head on. My parents are very brave!

Bravery means to not have any fear in anything. When I was five I and my family still lived in the green house across the street from the school. That house would have bats every night. My mom worked nights my dad worked days, my sister would take care of us every Friday night because my dad went out when my mom was at work.

One night me and my brother were upstairs screaming and my sister was cooking for us. She thought we were just playing around until we yelled “BAT BAT BAT!!!!” She asked what was going on and we said that there was a bat upstairs when we came running down.

My sister called my dad and he wouldn’t answer. So my sister put me and my brother on the couch and put a blanket on us. She went to go get my dad and then my grandpa came over. They killed the bat and everything was fine!

To be brave means not to fear a whole lot. Being brave is very important. Bravery could be a big step in your life. Bravery could mean you are growing up.

I have several brave people who I could talk about. I’m only going to talk about one though. That person would be my sister. I think she is brave because she was willing to take care of me for all of these years. If I had to follow in someone footsteps it would be hers.
My sister has made me who I am. My sister is the one who has a 50-50 chance of me going to her if I need anything. She is the one who inspires me. That is why I do my best to impress her, and make her think she did a good job with me.

She has helped me several times. I only go to her because she is one of the 9 people who take care of me. I love her to death. If my sister ever feels bad about how she takes care of me, I can show her how good she did. I am glad to have a sister that brave.

What does bravery mean? In other peoples eyes it could mean a lot of things. An example would be to stand up against something you know is right. There a many definitions that people could call bravery.

It could mean for instance, someone saving someone else from something when no one else would do it. It could mean some one knows what there doing is wrong and they stand up against it. It could also mean to some people when someone does some thing brave or heroic.

One thing I would say would be brave was when my brother ran 8 miles back to town after a car accident. The reason he ran was because he was going to get help because my cousin was knocked out cold. He would of drove back to town if it wasn’t for the fact that the car was completely totled.

To be brave is to do something you do. When I was five my sister hit my head with a shovel. It cut my head wide open. My mom told me to be brave on the way to the hospital.

We got to the hospital and my mom told me to be brave. I told her I would be brave. I was just about to get my stitches and she told me to be brave. When I was done she told me you were brave.

When my dad cut his leg open with a chain saw I told him to be brave. He said he would be brave. He got home and I asked again were you brave. He said he was brave.

I think being brave means to be able to do something and not be scared. I was brave when I got my thumb smashed. I had to get taken to the hospital. I was brave when I had to get stitches.

I had to get a shot and I had to get an x-ray to see if it was broken. I had to get put it to sleep so they can put the stitches in. I didn’t like getting stitches but I had to get them.

I don’t think I ever want to get stitches again. I think I will get stitches again. I will probably because I am not very careful. I think I will do something I shouldn’t do and have to get them.

The only time I can remember being brave was when I was 5 years old. It was Halloween. And I wanted to go to the haunted house. My sister did not want to go.

I told her nothing in there was real. So we went in the house. Of course, my sister gets scared and we had to leave. I did not leave I kept going. Sure I got scared but I made it.

When I got to the end I had found out that Michael had got scared and left the house. I felt proud that I made it, and Michael did not. I wanted to do it again. It was fun.

Brave to me means to like jump of a 60,000 foot building now that takes guts. Going up a genest a high scholar in football takes guts. Just think of what the high scholar can do to you. He can break your bones like a piece of paper.

I remember one time my parents asked me if I wanted to go rock climbing with them. It was a pretty big climb it was up about 20 feet, me and heights don’t get along very good. I climbed it with them it ended up being really fun. Every time we go to the black hills we go hill climb it’s really fun.

My little brother is brave because he wants to hit a jump on the go kart. My go kart is really old so it does not have suspension on it. When you hi the ground it is going to hurt your butt big time I tried it I don’t really want to do that again. I am very brave.

Bravery- Not to be scared, or chicken’ish. My grandma and grandpa flue in a plane. They went to Alaska, and went in a boat. I would have got sea and air sick.

I am sooo scared of heights. If I’m in a hotel on the top floor looking over the edge, I keep thinking that the railing will fall off its hinges. My sister boasts that she isn’t scared of heights until I say, “You could go on the highest part of the building.” Then she says, “I couldn’t go up that high.”

My mom then breaks up the fun.
My sister also says, “I could fall over the railing.” I say that she can’t fall over the railing, because she is too small. She wants to act so cool.
