Every tattoo has its unique way of expressing a person’s personality. For example, I choose to bring to class a tattoo of a tiger on the finger because I think it represents a person who tries to be a leader. The reason why I say this is because most of the people see tigers and immediately think that they are scary. In my opinion the person who got this tattoo on their index finger may be a sign that that person wants to tell others what to do.For most people getting a tattoo is a big deal for them. Some people look for the perfect size, color, shape, or image. Sometimes people just want a tattoo because to them it looks “cool” or “pretty” but in reality they really don’t know the meaning of most tattoos. For example the tattoo of a tiger on a finger can have several meanings. One good meaning of the tiger can be symbolized as a strong leader; therefore it can be identified for a person who is independent. This tattoo can also mean something bad, for example a tiger is dangerous, so most people stay away from them this can symbolize a person who does not like to deal with situations so therefore they try to escape from the problems.Although some people think that tattoos can give people a bad impression, people choose to put them in places where they cannot be seen. In my opinion, they really don’t know that the place they put them it can also have its own meaning, I honestly feel that people should pay more attention to decide what they should put.  I think people should start looking for the meaning of the tattoos and know if its appropriate or inappropriate to actually get something permanent in their skin.

Courage is the ability to face a situation regardless to how difficult or dangerous it may be or seem. It’s about having the strength to take a step forward, not backward. Once someone has the courage enough to defend themselves from anyone or anything, they can overcome any obstacle in life. When a person has the nerve to stand up to any situation their life can change in so many different ways. Having valor to say what needs to be said or do what has to be done can make a person so much stronger and independent. A great example of courage is Jenifer Lopez in the movie “Enough”, She is a woman who fell in love with this wonderful man, they got married and everything was so perfect in their relationship. A year later she was pregnant with his baby and everything started changing. He would hit her and make her things she didn’t want to do and she would obey him because she was scared of him. One day she decided that she was done with him and started going to boxing classes to learn how to fight so she can defend herself from him. Her daughter gave her the guts to be able to face him and fight him back. She tried escaping a couple of times but he would always be watching her because he didn’t want her to leave him. This movie is a about courage. At first J-Lo was defenseless because she was terrified of him, but then she got the valor to fight him back and leave him. In my opinion, courage is not something that will happen from one day to another. In order to be able to have the guts to do something you have to put it in your head that when something is not right you have to do something about it. Even though sometimes situations can be very hard to handle you just always have to try to look into best side of it and have the valor to move on and change things in order to have a better life.
