Courage is why we do everyday things in life, which sometimes affects your life alot if you don't have it. Courage has affected my life very much this is 1 of a 100 times I never had what it takes to be on stage or talk to people. When I first got up on stage, which was in prep junior i had to say a 2 page speech to congratulate the teachers for being good teachers it was a tradition at my school. I was scared but I was the one who volunteered for it I got up on stage looked at all the people then ran back down but then my mom pushed me back up on stage again I trembled but I started my first line and I made a mistake but I went on I had too. I finally finished I heard a big applause and started smiling and laughing I felt so great I wanted to congratulate myself. So as you see courage is a very important part of life. Courage doesn't come with one snip you gradually get more courage. Just like me.
