Courage in simple words means an act of bravery. Everyone has their own definition, for some the meaning is much more complicated for others it's very simple. When I think of someone who is courageous I think of my Dad and military individuals people who have fought for their country. People like doctors and scientists people who don't think about themselves when faced with a choice to give up. My definition of courage is a person that has the strength needed to do the unthinkable. Certainly, that is not just it. Courage takes a bigger picture of an act of bravery.

Many regular humans have used courage also. For example Dr. Martin Luther King jr. stood up for all African Americans, even though almost everyone did not agree with him. He eventually helped end segregation by raising awareness. Sadly, Dr. Martin Luther King jr. was killed just for his beliefs. Today we celebrate a holiday for his great bravery. Bravery is a synonym of courage.
Courage is speaking up and standing up for others while going out of comfort zones to do it. The book I read for book club is called Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Her life is crazy until she finally speaks up and the truth comes out. Being courageous is important because it helps people go outside of their comfort zone and stand up for others.

Courage is a very complicated trait as it can be perceived in many different ways. Google defined it as the ability to do something that frightens one, but to me it means doing what is right when you are faced with all the wrong choices. While courage has multiple different definitions there is also many different ways one can display that they have courage. Courage can be standing up for a friend, a soldier going back into gunfire to pull out a wounded friend.

Courage is over ruling your fear and doing whatever you think is right, no matter the consequences. There are many different types of definitions of courage, varying on the person. The one I just stated is my definition of courage. The different types of courage are: Social/Moral courage, Intellectual/Emotional courage, and Physical courage. Social/Moral courage is when you do the right thing, even at the risk of being embarrassed, excluded, unpopular, rejected, shamed, and disapproved. Intellectual/Emotional courage is when you accept challenging ideas, and to question the thinking from yourself, even at the risk of making a mistake or mistakes. It also involves not avoiding having hard conversations and emotions, and facing the truth and taking time to reflect on it, even when painful.
On top of a difficult situation at home I was always introverted and never wanted people to talk to me; my social life was practically non existent. Despite my apprehension I eventually fell into a group of kids at school and grew close to a few of them however I never expected to find the insane idiot I call my best friend. Although we hung out with the same group of people, we never actually spoke until one day we were forced to sit together in a class. I’m not sure why I trusted her so quickly, or why she even listened to me ramble on about my problems; I guess it was obvious i needed someone to talk to. Our friendship slowly evolved into this
Courage is a necessity to overcome fears and achieve a desired goal. Fear is something that exists in all of us. There is no hero or any particular courageous figure that is without fear. Being fearless is not required to be courageous, one simply has to look past or overcome their fears to possess this great quality. When overcoming fears and going against the norm, there are always risks involved. There are different types of risks that come about. Someone could risk life or limb, while others risk their reputation. Either risk is serious enough that a person must have courage to endure that particular risk. Courage can occur anytime, anywhere, and often in our everyday lives. Everyone will experience courage no matter how young,
Being bullied as a child made me strong enough to prove the bullies wrong. I was told I will always be dumb and amount to nothing although, at the age of 18, I am already a certified nursing assistant with a part-time job in the medical field. I knew that I had to prove them wrong not just for them but for me as well. I worked hard in school and always studied to be able to get to where I am today. I ignored those voices talking behind my back and focused on what was being taught in front of me. I needed to prove to myself that I can be someone in this world and that I can be someone important. I have learned that I can not depend on others to solve my problems but that I have to fight for what I believe and solve my own problems. Being bullied
During my early years I was bullied in and out of school. My first experience with bullying started when I was in daycare. A girl named Mary Doe. Every time I saw her she would talk about either my hair or my clothes or the way I looked. One day, my brother and Mary Doe’s sister were watching Mary Doe and I and then Mary Doe’s aunt had told her to leave me alone. And after her aunt left the room, Mary Doe started pushing me to see what I would do and after a while I got really mad so I punched her in the face. As her aunt came back in the room, she saw Mary Doe on the floor with me standing over her. Mary Doe’s Aunt then said, “Did I not tell you to leave her alone.” After that experience I knew that I had the confidence to stand up to bullying. But as I entered middle school I lost my confidence and became a mute person until another girl started to bully me. From this experience I learned that confidence a big part of your life and it is important because confidence allows you to ask for help, it enables you to go out and try new things, and confidence enables you to be independent.
While we are enjoying our peaceful lives in China, there are still some teenagers struggling in their lives. Mrs. G, a new, passionate teacher in Wilson High School. Where most students were gang members, were facing a lot troubles. They were gang members and they judged people by their skin color at the first sight they saw somebody. They were taught to cheat, to lie, or even to kill just in case to protect the people of their own races. Lots of barriers were built by misunderstood and racism. But they were never been taught to forgive. Are they not willingly to do so, or they are afraid to do so. They might be afraid to find out the world are not as terrify as they considered. They are lacking of courage to know the truth. To do something that you thought you would never do sounds ridiculous. Just like the student who never thought they could graduate nor even go to college. But with Mrs. G’s help they all made a miracle. This is also a triumph in education area. How the things have changed? How are those hopeless students all becoming the pride of their families? It is a mystery known by anyone that Mrs. G had got them running on the right way.
On February 7th around 8 o’clock or so me and my roommates were eating dinner discussing spring break. We talked about when our spring break was and how it was going to be way different since many of our buddies go to different colleges and have separate spring break dates. As we talked dates I realized that our spring break was a week before all my other buddies spring breaks were. This is the reason upon deciding to have a get together later that week. I immediately sent out a text to one of my good buddies Jackson. Jackson has a garage that is fully renovated therefore it is our primary hang out spot. We talked about if it was a good idea and if we could stay in the garage that Friday night. All went well that entire week. Me and my five other buddies all found
