If my parents told me to pack up things I would need to escape, I would first question myself what is important to me. I know that everything in my room is important, but if I can bring only few of them, I have to decide what to bring.

The first thing that I would bring with me is my note books. I really love drawing something in my note books and in my planner. I always draw, whenever I have a free time, like Anne writing her diaries, so I don’t think that I can’t live without them, and if people forced me to stop drawing, I feel like my life is ruined, and I feel like there isn’t any hope to live.

Next, I would bring my computer, so that I still can keep in touch with my friends even if we are living far apart, and I can find out what’s going on, even if there isn’t a TV.

Then, I would take my iPod and my CDs, so that I can listen to music. Besides, my father bought the iPod for me, and I take good care of it, and I always carry it around with me. I enjoy drawing, while I am listening to music. I can’t live without music too, so if there isn’t any music, I would feel doomed.

I also would bring books and my math textbooks, so that I still can study. Math is one of my favorite subjects, so I would definitely bring them.

According to a dictionary, the word “courage” means the quality of being brave. In my own words, courage is an ability to face something that you think is dangerous, difficult, or painful. For example, you use your courage to say no, or to say your opinion to your friends, even if they think that you are crazy or something. Or you use courage when there is something you might not be able to do, and you just try doing it anyway. In my opinion, I think that courage makes people feel good about their self, because even if you couldn’t do something, and you were afraid to do it, you tried your best. Also, when you want to say your opinion, you might feel that it is wrong, but you still might say it. For me, I don’t think that there is right or wrong opinion, because people think differently, so for example, if one person thinks that one’s idea is wrong, other people might say that it’s right. So if you want to say your idea, I think you muster you courage up, and say what you think. In conclusion, courage makes you overcome your weaknesses and you can experience something new to you.
