Of course you do :).
All I can say is that the test is you. When you find that you can be brave and have the courage to do what's right when others dont.

I dont know what either of you believe religiously, or if you believe in fate, but I believe that fate tests you. I learned that I could be brave when a pair of dogs, which included a rottweiler, attacked my neighbor and her grand daughter. I didn't know why I decided to go check the mail when I did, but when I did I saw the dogs trying to attack them. I didn't think about my own safety, I didn't call for help, I only acted. I know how to, for a lack of better words, control and communicate with dogs, and I made the animals back off by showing that I was the dominate male. When they advanced on me, I advanced on them. And they backed off.


A few weeks later, the same thing happened at where I went to school during a thunder storm. Two dogs, including a bitch who'd recently had a litter of puppies which makes a bitch even more aggressive, were attempting to attack one of my teachers. We were told to stay inside while someone called animal control, but I knew she had a daughter, and I acted. When I say, "I acted" i dont mean I decided to suggest the proper way to deal with the situation, I mean I physically pushed my teacher from that given class out of my way and advanced on the dogs, yelling at them to back off. She got to safety, and I was eventually able to get back inside aswell. But those were what I concider my tests, which decided whether or not I could transition from a boy into a man.
