“Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyways.” -John Wayne.
I have chosen this quote to represent me this year in the 2012-2013 Green River High School Yearbook because I’m a country girl. I love to ride my horse, Dear Prudence. It takes bravery to be able to look at something you have a fear towards and go ahead with a goal in mind and achieve it. In life we can look at fears as something to overcome rather than flee from the problem. Many people look at their fears and run, these people never learn to use that disadvantage of fear to their own benefit. The feeling of accomplishment that comes after overcoming a trial is worth the struggle it takes to beat the conflict at hand. Choosing to “saddle up anyways” gives the person an upper hand in life. Learning to have fears and overcome them is a very useful tool that everyone can use in daily life.
