Personal Narrative: Captain Of The FRC Robotics Team

Courage is a trait that has been possessed by a lot of leaders in history, from presidential leaders to civil right leaders, to even athletic coaches, courage is used in every leadership position and is a very important trait when wanting to become a leader. Courage takes a lot of self-work you must be fully committed to your values and what you believe in before you go out and get a career like Job. Frederick Douglas escaped slavery and later became a main leader of the anti-slavery movement through all his published writings. Courageous leaders also make time for their peers and their employees because courageous leaders not only believe in themselves but believe in the team that works for them. Courage is also shown through sports form coaches to players. They are required to sacrifice some of their beliefs so their team can be one unit and work as one. They show courage day in and down out, standing up for what they believe in and their team which speaks volumes within an organization. Courageous leaders seem to be the most effective type of leaders because those types of leaders relate to you or has a common interest. These leaders preach what they believe and stick to it even through tough times when it calls for them to step outside their box.

A courageous action most often is associated with reaching a goal or task of importance, despite the dangers even risks associated with it (“Courage”). For any specific act to be considered truly courageous it must be reasonably thought about and determined that the goal is well worth the risk or danger (“Courage”). Courage so often can be put with words such as heroic, and bravery although with courage there can be a fine line between courageous acts and plain foolishness. All this can make people believe that courage only applies to physical actions. There are two kinds of courage moral and physical in many cases they are both displayed in a single courageous act; however, bravery must come before all else, because they are associated with reaching a task of importance regardless of risk.

Throughout history, there have been countless times whenre individuals have courageously fought for change and societal justice. For instance, Gandhi helped India gain their independence, even though the circumstances were extremely risky for him, and could have led to his arrest or even death. However, he continued to persevere through it all, and was able to accomplish great things for his country. Another example is Malala Yousafzai, who promoted the education of girls in her country. Despite the clear threat of the Taliban, she continued to fight hard for her cause. Courage can be defined in many different ways, such as the ability to persevere and accomplish something in a frightening or risky situation. Examples of courage can be seen all around the world. Without courageous people, society would not have been able to improve. Being courageous is difficult, and requires an abundance of dedication and perseverance. It also includes remaining strong, despite the challenges that may occur along the way.

True bravery is when you’re aware that the odds are against you, however, you have the ability to persevere through it. Even though you don’t want to complete the task ahead of you, an inner force brings you the motivation to do it. Sincere courageousness doesn’t always entail violence; in fact, courage comes from the choices made within that affect yourself or those around you. The outcome may not always be to your advantage, but

Courage can be found in everyone big or small, mean, or nice. But sometimes it is hard to find your courage. In "Touching Spirit Bear" and " Maniac Magee" the author teaches us that people can be courageous by being friends with people they may not like at first and going to a place you might not want to go.

Strong individuals who show courage are the ones who make a strong community, and aim to demonstrate it even if it's a small action because it might still make a big difference

Did you know successful people are proven to have more courage than those who are not successful? A quote from Kelley Kalafatich does a good job explaining this fact, “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face…”. This quote explains that courage is the ability to face your fears and pursuing the path that you want to. Courage is a very exceptional quality to have because it helps a person succeed in life. Courage lets you face your fears and move on with life. Courage allows you to make decisions that you don’t regret later on in your life. There are many people around us that show the quality of courage. Having courage builds integrity

At least a little courage is in everyone, along with courage comes personal integrity, shaped by our own acts and choices. One’s personal integrity comes out in situations that possess a complication that requires solving. Moreover, choosing the courageous and onerous paths in life leads to a personally profound, improved integrity allowing one to have a fuller life. Though some people already have personal integrity that helps them with decisions, all ages are capable of making courageous decisions that still shape integrity. Although the first scenario to come to one’s mind would be a youth with minor troubles, even our elders of higher ages still encounter decisions that require courage. The significance of a decision is irrelevant, whether

Have you ever had the courage to stand up among the others? I have chosen two characters from two different books that have represented courage in a great way. The first character is Jonas. Jonas is from the book called The Giver. The Giver is about a twelve year-old having a bunch of pressure on his shoulders by holding all the unneeded and unwanted memories. The second book is known as Fahrenheit 451. This book is about how firefighters are basically in an alternate universe: They start fires instead of stopping them. They start fires but only to burn books. Montag (Main character) does his job with a passion. That is until he actually starts reading them. He then starts to think that he should bring them back into the world. These are the two characters I will be using in my example.

My freshman year, I qualified for state in the shuttle hurdle relay. The girls on my relay team were a huge help to me, by guiding me along with new experiences. We ended up making it to finals and placing seventh in the state. My teammates pushed me in practice, and I wouldn’t have made it as far as I did without them by my side. I was always told that my hard work will pay off, and it for sure did. Going to state track taught me that anything is possible if you work for it. As I grow older, I’m sure to be a great role model for the underclassmen by giving them the motivation that they can do anything if they set their mind to it. I didn’t only help myself by doing this, but I helped the entire team. Throughout every sport, I try to be a positive influence towards my team because we need one another to improve and make a great impression by representing Forest City High

I have and always will have the courage to meet the demands of the JROTC unit when it needs me most. Also, I take the word courage as a way of saying, for me to become stronger in a way that I don’t have to fear anything too strong or too powerful. I will always be stronger than my opponent. I will try to encourage my fellow cadets to not fall due to the humiliation that others are causing upon them. I will always have faith in my fellow cadets and myself.

Fighting, persevering, believing, being courageous can expand the world, and help conquer harsh tasks. When having courage, we can learn from our past to grow our communities in the spirit of a hopeful future, by never being afraid of the outcome ahead of us, and doing things for the better of mankind.

I've been interested in technological things for as long as I can remember. Not things like the new iPhone or The Apple Watch, but things like coding and programming. It's crazy how you can type in a seemingly meaningless jumbles of letters and symbols and what comes out is something beautiful. During the summer of 7th grade, I took a robotics class, and we went to visit the Cedar Falls High School's First Robotics club, and see the facility that they worked in. I was the only girl that took the class, and I think I was the most intrigued with the inner workings of the club and everything that went into building that robot. Ever since that day, I've always dreamed of being the girl outsmarting all the boys on my robotics team, showing my intelligence

Santa Clara’s vision of creating leaders with compassion and conscience, who work to make the world more humane, particularly resonates with me. When I was elected captain of my school’s Robotics team, I reflected on my previous experiences working with robotics teams. Last year our Robotics team was divided when junior members were marginalized and not invited to important design meetings. As a result, when a successful design actually worked, the excitement by the senior team was missing in the junior members. As captain, I want the ideas and contributions of incoming members to be valued in order to create synergy. I am committed to ensuring that all members of the Robotics team have a say in setting the direction and strategy for this

Interacting with people of different backgrounds or situations is a part of our lives that frequently goes unnoticed. We become accustomed to the fact that we work with many people who are not exactly like ourselves. While this is great, it is even better if you can take these experiences and use them to improve upon yourself. Although I have interacted with people of many different backgrounds in countless situations, one that stands out the most is interacting with teams in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics competition.
