A virtue to practise

Courage

Courage is doing what is right, or what matters, even when you feel afraid.

What courage means

Courage is not the same as having no fear. A brave person feels the fear and acts anyway. It can be big, like standing up for someone who is being picked on, or small, like asking a question in class or being the first to say sorry.

How to practise courage

1. Speak up kindly when you see someone being treated unfairly.
2. Do one small thing today that makes you a little nervous.
3. Tell the truth about a mistake before anyone finds out.
4. Ask for help when you need it. That takes courage too.
