Sydney McCool…Fearless.
No other emotion can be as stifling as fear. Sure, fear gives us pause before leaping into danger, touching that blistering hot camp fire or zip lining on power lines. But it also has the capacity to sow seeds of doubt, cast shadows on our future and rip from us the joy and happiness of life.
“Adventure comes with no guarantees or promises. Risk and reward are conjoined twins—and that’s why my favorite piece of advice needs translation but no disclaimers: Fortes fortuna juvat. ‘Fortune favors the brave,’ the ancient Roman dramatist Terrence declared. In other words, there are many good reasons not to toss your life up in the air and see how it lands. Just don’t let fear be one of them.” – Mary South
Be bold. Be courageous. Be fearless.

Nothing says “fearless” quite more so than someone confident enough to play with fire! Being fearless in our day-to-day leads us live our best lives. We have to approach our passions with a stout heart so we can make the world a better place. We have to put our fears aside, stand strong, be brave and adventurous.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

Fearless is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. -Taylor Swift

I would describe myself as very open, fearless!, and open-minded. My experiences in life have shaped who I am because I realize that you don’t have to have everyone like you, being yourself is more important than having lots of friends.
AOC & Ruth Ginsburg inspire me because they/were fighting for women’s rights, equality for all and many other things I believe in.
The thing I’m most proud of in life is myself I never thought i was going to go to college or get into any because my grades were horrible and I never had the motivation but they got better and so far I have gotten into 1 of 4 colleges that I’ve applied to.
