San Francisco Nutcracker Ballet

I just got done watching the San Francisco Ballet perform The Nutcracker on television and I was blown away.

The ability that these professional dancers had to make it seem like gravity didn't even exist was incredible.

Their leaps would be so high and graceful.

Their bodies had muscles that you could only achieve after hours upon hours of practicing every day.

Watching the performance truly gave me a new respect for the physical capabilities that these people were able to achieve.




Courage

To me, courage when you don't want to do something, are scared to do something, or feel something is very risky to do, but you still do it.

It usually takes a lot of courage to push your comfort zone.

It can be anything from finding the courage to serve for our country or to find the courage to stand up for yourself when your being bullied.

I think courage and bravery are qualities that coexist together.

Courage is a quality that is looked very highly upon.

Christmas Music

Christmas music is something that can lift my spirits on any day.

It is something that helps me look forward to November 29th every year. (My dad doesn't let us play Christmas music until after Thanksgiving day)

There are no negative or inappropriate lyrics in Christmas music and they always have an uplifting beat or a deep thinking tone.


Leadership

Leadership, like most other traits, are something that some people are born naturally with while others have to work harder to express it.

Leadership is the ability to take control of a situation and set an example to others of how things should be handled.

Some people use their leadership in a positive way. Standing up for not only their rights and others around them. Also having the ability to help show others around them positive things to reflect on.

Other people may use their leadership abilities to pressure people or misguide them.

Situations like that are when each person has to be their own leader and decide which road they want to travel upon.

Leadership is a quality that has no limit on how much you can express and has no limit to who expresses it.
