Videos on Sacrifice and Courage

Last Thursday in class, we watched three videos that were about people with disabilities that had courage enough to do what they had dreamed of, even though the odds were against them. One particular video that affected me was the video of the golfer, DJ Gregory, who had cerebral palsy and had difficulty walking. (This video is found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUSHN5EB0v8) He had made a goal for himself that he would walk every hole of every tournament in a year. I think that DJ has A LOT of courage, because he believed in himself when not many other people did. I am sure that knowing that there are people don't think you can do something is a very difficult thing to deal with, but he had the courage to disregard that and he knew that he could do it. Also, his parents had to have a lot of courage, because they had to see their child with the disability, and they had to help him along and encourage him, all while knowing that their son could have had a better life. DJ had to sacrifice a lot of things to achieve his goal, and this made him that much more courageous because in order to have courage and conquer a fear, you need to sacrifice. DJ was a very inspirational person to me, because he had the courage to accomplish his goal and conquer his fears, even though the odds were against him.
