The word 'gracious' reminds me of my friend name Grace. It is also a word to describe the swift movement of dancers. For example, chinese and malay dancers usually dance graciously to a gracious beat. Talking about the dancers, i just remembered that i have a dance performance later. I promise that i would give it my all and dance as graciously as possible. I am sure that i can be as graceful as all the other dancers or maybe even much more graceful.
Gracious can also be used to decribe politeness. When i was younger, i used to be very rude. I would talk back to my relatives and sometimes i would raise my voice at them. I was often scolded last time. But i didn't mend my ways not untill i was about fourteen. The final straw of me being rude was when i was scolded so badly by my parents. I realised that i had done so much wrong towards my family and relatives. I also just realised that they scolded me for a reason and i did not have any right to talk back. From then on, i became a much gracious person and learnt how to respect elders just like the way they are meant to be respected.
I also remeber the time when i was in primary school and when i was in the scouts. As a scout i was to do many hours of community involvement and that includes house cleaning for charity, going to the old folks home and helping out and also so much more. But then, i did not realise that this was actually being gracious. However, now i know that being gracious doesn't neccessarily have to be a dance. It can also be how u act. Before i go heres some meanings for the word gracious.
