One Small Step For Courage

By Sonia Macias

Courage is not just the young girl standing up for what is right and wrong in the world, courage is more. Courage is not just the lonely man asking his dream girl on a date, courage is more. Courage is not just the brave woman jumping off a cliff into the water for survival, courage is more. Courage is not only the man stepping into the battlefield wounded ready for a fight, courage is more. Courage is also the soldier’s daughter sacrificing her home, family, friends, and more for the sake of her father. Courage is that and more.
