Fortune Favours the Bold!

10/20/2022

“Fortune favours the bold. We were all supposed to write a paragraph about some time in our lives when we did something very brave and how, because of it, something good happened to us.” Excerpt From: R. J. Palacio. “Wonder.”

The quote above is from the book Wonder

This is a quote we read in Wonder this week. We are going to do the same thing! Talk with your families about what the phrase “Fortune favours the bold'' means. Then think about a time when you were brave and something good came from it. Describe this experience in your blog post this week.

I am scared of hights. Once my family and I went to Niagara Falls when we were done waiking we went on the Niagara Tower. When we reached the very top I looked down and I got very scared. So then I was being brave and stayed up there for a little untill we finish visiting.

I am scared of the dark. I can't go by myself down stair while my family sitting up stairs.So, once I wanted to go downstairs for a cup of milk but it was dark. Finally I encourage myself to be brave and I went downstairs by myself and drank my milk.

The bravest thing I have ever done is being in the Christmas school concerts. I was nervous because everyone is watching but I still did it and it went well.

One of the bravest things, I've ever done was, last year for the Spring Concert, Kenzie .P. was gone sick, and Aikam had asked Ms. Metcalf, if I could preform one of the solo parts that I wanted to do. I said 'Yes' , and when the concert arrived, I did the solo part and then ran off the gym floor, and onto the stage.
I was scared because I had never done a solo part before, and I was nervous. But, when I did it, I was not scared, yet relived that I did it, and that I was brave.

I was brave enough to try a new food which was broccoli. The good that came out of this experience was it actually tasted good. I had steamed broccoli with cheese sauce. Now I am willing to try new foods. I would like to try asparagus next.

A few summers ago, l had a sleepover at my cousin’s house which is in Newmarket. My cousins and I watched a movie at 9:00 pm. We watched the movie called Teen Titans Go. After the movie was over we stayed up really late and told scary stories. Soon after I shared my story I fell asleep. At 4:00 am, l woke up and l wanted to get water but l was really scared that something bad would happen. I had to talk to myself, and say, Aaliyah you can do this! And then I did! I ran downstairs and got water from the cool fridge. The good thing that came out of it was that I was proud of myself, I overcame my fear to go get some water in the dark.

My story of bravery involved getting my ears pierced. When I was younger, about 5 or 6, I went to get my ears pierced. I went with my cousin who is like a sister to me, Ellie. Of course I was really excited but also really scared. We went to Claire’s and I went first. We picked out our earrings and I picked out gold. I decided to go first, so the workers put a hole in my ear. I started to tear up a bit. However, then I realized after all it was better then I thought! Then Ellie went, and she screamed super loud the whole mall could hear! I realized going first, despite not knowing how hurtful the piercing would be, was brave. In the end I got my ears pierced and this was an act of bravery.

One time when i was at my freinds birthday we got to go inside a building that had a snake.A lot of people were not going to pick it up including me.But after a bit i decided to pick it up and overcome my biggest fear which was snakes. Overall I am not scared of snakes as much now

The end.

We did a dance to a song by charie puth I forgot what the song was it had somthing to do with a light switch but anway fliming was okay but watching was kinda cringe but I was brave enough do to though. when we were at the talent show it was nice everybody was claping on the beat and we had a good time but I was scared of what people would think

The bravest thing I've probably ever done was singing a part of a song infront of LIKE A BILLION PEOPLE. (not actually a billion but a lot) I was HORROFIED. My friends were with me by my side but I was still scared. The mic eventually came to me and I did it- I sang my part. Nothing bad or good came out of it. Well i guess just DOING it instead of running out is a good thing. And everyone in this class from grade 4 choir knows what I'm talking about. So that's the bravest thing I've ever done. Except maybe go on a roller coaster that's for adults but that's another story.

The bravest thing I’ve ever done is auditioning for the Alice and wonderland play because I am very shy and I don’t like to do anything in front of anyone because i am so shy. So I had to be brave and try out and I am happy I tried out because all the practices are fun and got a good part.

The bravest thing i did was learn Jiu jitsu. I just got a new belt.I am a grey belt with a white stripe in the middle.I have been doing jiu jitsu for about 2 years now and i really love doing it because it gives me some thing to do when i am bored and in the summer. Its something new to learn and it keeps you fit and save.

One of the times I was brave was when my sister was cleaning my ears and she BROKE my ear drum it just went POP and I was scared and thought I was going to DIE but luckily I didn't die it it was all fine and I am alive and yes I decided to do another time I was brave.

Another time I was brave was when I was leaving my sister's room she accidentally closed the door on my finger and I was scared because she wouldn't stop closing the door and when she realised that my FINGER was in the door she opened it and I screamed that it was night time and my neighbours were sleeping I probably woke them up then I was taking big breaths to calm down and my sister was crying more then me at that point because she though she broke me because it was swollen and that is another time that I was brave.

btw my sister is 15 and she was crying more then me at the end

The bravest thing I've ever done probably is one time I we were having a reptile Handler come in and let us touch some of the different reptiles.One of the reptiles was a boa constrictor and not so many people wanted to pet it because they fought it may bite or be aggressive. But I was one of the only people who went up and petted the boa constrictor and it kinda told people it won't hurt you.

One of the bravest things I've ever done was jumping off the dock at my cottage and into the water. When this happened I was 9. I wanted to try to jump off the dock since I wasokay with putting my head underwater. I was SO scared. I kept imagining crazy TOTALLY IMPOSSLIBE scenarios inside my head

But then I just took a few deep breaths, and so I wouldn't have time to hesitate I ran and jumped into ze water. And I was fine
And now I love jumping off the dock :)

The bravest thing I have ever done was when I was at my cousins house. I was really scared of basements because I always think there is a ghost and it was dark. Me and my older cousin wanted to play with the remote controled robots but they were downstairs, so I was like "can you go get the robots PLEASE" I asked, he said "no, you go downstairs"!, then I quickly ran downstairs and got the robots. Now the hard thing is going upstairs because I have to turn off the lights and I am scared of the dark but I just did it in a flash. So I faced two fears at once.

Once I went to help out at a dance studio for a camp. I had to perform a dance with a few of the kids. The day before that's when I fractured my wrist and I realize that I had to perform the next day. The day I got there I keep saying to my self I cant do this but then came my time and after a long day and week of practicing I finally did it with a fractured wrist and after a few back and front handsprings I thought for sure my wrist was then broken. Thats when I was the most bravest in my life.
