Secrets Destroy friends

I had never known that secrets destroy friends. I remember the date clearly September 11, 2006. My friend Mark had said he had a girlfriend, and I wanted to know who she was. Mark told me who it was and told me it was a secret. I was very tempted to tell everyone in class, but I kept the secret because Mark was my precious friend. I stayed away from the people who were talking about Mark and tried to change the subject when I joined them. Another friend named Brad knew Mark had a girlfriend , but he didn't know who it was; only I knew. He used every way to find who Mark's girlfriend was. These are some of the things he did: brgaining, bothering, bullying, and copying. I was harassed in every way one could think of. I had enough of him si I relinquished the secret after two weeks. This shows a lot about my identity: I can't handle being harrassed, and If I am, I will do anything to stop it.

Taekwondo Silver Medal (Courage)

Believe it or not, I used to do Taekwondo when I was in 5th grade. My mother sent me there because I lacked confidence. At that time I was so shy to the point that I stood in the corner at school playing Tic Tac Toe by myself. The first few months of Taekwondo gave me friends and the ability to interact with other peers in other Taekwondo academys. Then, I felt I had nothing in mind but to get the medal in a competition where black belt students enter. I had friends, and so I felt I had nothing to lose. That is why I entered with confidence to win at leat silver medal. At the day of the competition, black belts were practicing their deadly trademark kicks. I was so intimidated by their passion, but I was prepared. I was full of courage, and I fought my way to the semi finals. The result of the competition was very good for me; I won the silver medal. I was so happy, and that was the part of my life when I felt courage. Nothing was going to get in my way! This experience gave me the sociality I have now, and the courage to live with confidence, which is one of the aspects of my identity that I now realized.
