A Time I saw Bullying and I Got Involved

Recently the whole 6th grade has had a talk about bullying.  We got to see a movie about kids bullying other children in a public American school.  I thought that in my old school that swearing and being racist was the line until I saw this video.  In the video they were pushing, kicking, calling mean names, punching, laughing at people that were different than them, and a lot more things.  There ways of bullying  made their victims wounded, hurt, and embarrassed to the point that they don't want to go to school any longer.

When I was in 5th grade I witnessed my best friend get bullied in P.E class.  He has dark brown skin and the bully kept on calling him racist nicknames.  He would call him names everywhere and he kept up with it and I always told him,"Should I stop him?  Should I stop him?" and he kept on declining.  My anger level kept on raising, raising, and raising every time the bully made fun of him.

At P.E class, my teacher said,"Welcome to the first day of gym this year", and we were all very happy. On that day we were supposed to jog for 6 minutes then practice basketball lay ups and then we would have a match so we were all very excited.

When my friend was running laps he ran to the black wall and the bully said,"Where did he go?  Did he become invisible?"  We both thought this is his last chance.  The whole class was okay until the last ten minutes while we were playing the basketball match.  We were winning 20-0 and the bully was very jealous.  He started showing faces and swearing at my friend.  Then suddenly he ran to to my friend and started down staring him and pushing him around.  I looked to the corner and I thought that this was seriously the last time.  I ran to the corner of the field and I said, "Don't hurt him!"  The bully said, "Back off or I'll punch you!"  I said punch me which I didn't really think threw and then I started regretting.  He raised up his arm and his fist...

At that exact moment my teacher took his fist and said your coming with me and I praised to god. I don't know what she said but it really worked and since that day he has not bullied anyone. That is my story of a time I witnessed bulling and I got involved. 

A Time When I Showed Courage

When I was 4 years old I lived in Taipei. On the weekends my dad used take me on his bike to Wulai and on the top of the mountain there was a cable car. It looked very fun but I've always been afraid of heights so there was no way I was going to try it but my dad tried really hard to convince me. It had bugged me from that day that I was afraid to go on the cable car.

During the next few months I refused to go on. One morning I was up and ready to overcome my fear, so I told my dad lets go on that cable. My dad was very surprised so he said are you sure and I nodded so we went. So when it was my turn to go into the cable car I gulped and I felt like fainting but I had a feeling that I had to do this. so I ran into the cable car and closed my eyes.

In the cable car a million thoughts came to my mind what will happen?, will I survive? and it felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. At that moment I took a deep breath and I thought to myself whats the worst thing that could happen?, but then I heard a bunch of noises from the roof and I thought that's the worst thing that could happen.

At that moment my dad said were here and i asked what were those noises and he said that was a man going by with a trolley. I felt like I had climbed Mount Everest or K.O Mike Tyson and at that second I felt like I had courage and I  had overcame my fear of heights.

Since then I've always wanted go on cable cars with my dad and when I was in Singapore for the first time I said lets go on the Singapore Flyer and my dad said no thank you and I said so you don't have the courage?
