Courage


Courage

Part 1, Theory (200 credits)
Courage is “overcoming fear so I can do what is right.”
Courage begins by knowing what is good, true, and right. This gives you confidence that
you are heading in the right direction.
Another way to build courage is to think through what you should do in specific situations.
For example, what should you do if you wake up and hear a smoke alarm in your home?
What should you do if a stranger asks you to get into his car? What should you do if you see someone being teased or bullied?
Thinking ahead will help you overcome fear and make better choices when you face
strange, difficult, or frightening situations. When you know something is good and true,
stand up with courage instead of hiding in fear. You never know how your boldness and
bravery will inspire others to stand up for what is true, right, and just.
I Will:
1. Know the truth.
2. Get help when I am afraid.
3. Do what is right.
