Courage is to  have bravery or to do something even when it might be hard or scary. Courage has led me to do many many scary things. One thing that many military kids experience is going to a new school. You should remember that you have courage to do all the new things, new teachers, classmates, and new opportunities to do so much. You have the power to do what you want if you try to do good and have courage.

How has courage affected my life? It has made me brave to do anything I want, even if it is scary or hard to do. For instance, like when I moved here it was hard to move from all of my friends and it was scary for me. I was in 1st grade and I was scared because I did not know this school or any one here. I went with the flow and 1st grade was amazing. We had a class pet, it was a bearded dragon. Then covid 19 happened and it was scary but I used courage to go past it. I am happy that I had bravery for when I went to a new school so I could have all the fun and meet all my friends.

 

How courage has affected my life is by giving me bravery to do anything I want to like going to new places. One example of how courage has affected my life is by giving me bravery by trying somewhere new, like at Disney. It was scary and crowded but since I was brave it was extremely fun. All of the rides and attractions were amazing and I am happy that I had the courage to try new rides because they were amazing.

 

In conclusion, the purpose of this essay is to write how courage has affected me such as when I moved to a new school, making new friends, Covid and when I went to Disney. They were all scary but I was brave and had courage to move past that.
