On this day in 1955, Rosa Park refused to give up her bus seat to a white man. This was a brave action by Parks. What is the bravest thing you have ever done? Be sure to include details about the event and why you think you were brave. I think the bravest thing I ever did was one day I was baby sitting my two cusins. They were young and i was still in grammer school. My cusin asked if i could babysit them and i said yes. She had just moved into the apartment and she didn't have a house phone yet. So before she left we were all watching when a stranger calls. You know the movie about the teenager baby sitting and the killer calls and is killing everybody in the house. So their mom left and i sent the kids in their room to watch tv. When all of a sudden i heard the front door nob just shaking and then i heard banging at the back door like someone was trying to get in. She told me that my brother was coming to pick me up but she also said that he had the keys to the house to. So i went in the room with my two little cusins and told them throw on some shoes and some clothes we are leaving and going to granny's house. Luckly for us our grandmother doesn't leave that far from us. They did as they were told. I had to stay calm because I knew that if I didn't stay calm then they would be scared also. I just told them that someone was at the door and we had to get out of the house. I told them arm themselves just incase we have to defend ourselves. They grabed drumsticks and I grabed a butcher's knife from the kitchen . We left out the front door after i had checked to see if anyone was out there. We started running and running down the street like someone was chasing us. I let them run in front of me so that i could see them at all times. I had also told them that is someone tried to grab one of us that i would fight them and for them to run to granny's house that they knew the way. We made it to my grandmother's house in five minutes. They lived on 75 and stweart and my grandmother lives on 70 and green . We ran all the way. Once in the house we told my mother what had happend and come to find out that was my brother trying to get in the door . But she told me that i was smart for doing what i had done in coming to where ithought it was safe and also arming myself because someone could have tryed to snatch us.
