What is courage?


Courage:

There are a lot of ways to describe courage. Courage, to me, can be explained in several different ways. Courage could be something small or something huge. I would explain courage as something someone has that takes a lot of guts and will power. You can have courage in a scary situation or you can have courage when something bad has happened. I think the school teacher from the elementary school shooting, that happened a while back, had a lot of courage. She hid her students and was courageous enough that she told the gunman they were somewhere else and then was shot. I also think courage is something like voicing your opinion in front of a lot of people even if they discriminate against you. Just like the movie “Courageous”. All of the men have to go through God to get the courage they need to deal with the tough situation that they faced in life. The actual definition for courage is mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty. Courage can be found in someone at the worst of times but they get that courage from God. When they ask him to guide them in their struggles and to gain the strength to get through it, he supplies all the courage that is needed.

  1. Whitney,
    I agree on your opinion when it comes with courage. There are so many different definitions and yet none of them are wrong. Courage is something that can be shown in any or every situation. I think that different people can show different ways of courage everyday. That shooting was a horrible event and I didn't know the tre details of what exaclty happened but from what you've said that teacher was one dedicated person. What she did was above and beyond couragous.
