Having courage means to be brave when meeting new experiences, difficult situations, and/or challenging encounters. Courage may involve being firm because of strong moral convictions. In either case, there may be feelings of fear, anxiety, or apprehension. Courage has always been challenging to cultivate. We humans tend to shrink from doing what is difficult or unpopular.

Courage is the ability to do what frightens you. It’s the willingness to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. When we develop courage in pupils, we enable them to take appropriate risks, to take initiative and act — in short, to be a decision-maker and a responsibility-taker.
