I was shaking slightly, my palms were soaked with sweat and suddenly i felt as if i had to go to the bathroom very desperately and the engine had not even been turned on yet. When i saw joseph’s uncle put the key in the ignition i almost instinctively grabbed the closest thing to my hand. Phd Thesis Proposal LawThen he laughed, but i was too caught up in my mistake to laugh or even notice the engine had turned on. It took a few seconds, but i got use to the speed and even began to find a peace in the wind and the sound it made as it rushed by my ears. I looked over at joseph and saw him in a reclining position with one hand holding a soda and the other hanging out the side of the boat feeling the water that the boat pushed up in large cascades as it cut through the once calm currents. I tried to relax as joseph did, but i felt as if all my muscles and joints had made up their minds to stay put until it was my turn to test my courage. All my fear that was carried away with the wind finally caught up with the boat as it stopped. Joseph’s uncle turned around in his rotating captain’s chair and asked us who would go first. My mouth was hanging down and my jaw tilted to the left revealing my dimples and wrinkling my forehead.

I had known joseph for years and knew that he would never do that, but his words gave me courage. The pat on my back punctured a hole in me that leaked fear and his hand transferred an ocean of courage, his courage. Out of no where i felt i could jump off the empire state building without flinching. My new burst of confidence shocked joseph and his uncle as much as it shocked me. The only thing that compared to this moment between getting on the tube and thrusting forward is at the beginning of saving private ryan when the troops are waiting for the boats to open. The whistled that signaled the soldiers to get ready in my case was the thumbs up joseph would give me when they were ready to go. Like the soldiers that either died right away or made it to the beach, i was either going to hang on or fall off right away. I concentrated all my new found courage on gripping the handles and nearly squeezed it in half. I got such an adrenaline rush when i was flung forward for the first time, i could have lifted a truck above my head. The objects passing by reminded me of when han solo sent his ship into light speed and the stars passed with a blurred tail. My grip on the handles loosened and suddenly the only thing between me and the water was air. Thanks to the boost of confidence from a good friend i have gone about my life in a cool, assured manor. length: 3420 words 9.8 double spaced pages rating: aqua price: $35.95 an act of courage faced with the task of writing a paper on a specific act of courage my initial reaction was that of total uncertainty.
