The Blind Side

"That's why courage is tricky, should you always do what others tell you to do. Sometimes you might not even know why you do something. I mean any fool can have courage. But honor, thta's the real reason you do something or you don't.Its who you are and maybe who you want to be. If you die trying for something important then you have both honor and courage and that's prettyu good. I think that's what the writer was saying, that you should hope for courage and try for honor and maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some too."

Have you ever been left out? It hurts right? But for Michael Oher being left out is just a normal thing. It was a thing that he always experience since he was a child. His mother is an alcoholic and wasn't even sure who his father is. After being separated from his mom by a social worker Michael became different from other kids. People used to call him "Big Mike" but there was a part in the story in which he told Leigh Anne that he does not want to be called like that. 

I was one rainy night when Leigh Anne decided to open their home to Michael. To cut the long story short, Michael had a football scholarship and played for Mississippi. He was once an under-educated boy but with the help of his new family, teachers, and coach...he made it! 

He learned to trust people again. He had the courage to go on with his life. He made everyone proud. 

The Blind Side is a very extraordinary story. It taught me not to judge people and to love others unconditionally. I learned that courage isn't easy to master but faith will help you get through it.
