Courage, to have courage someone must be willing to risk it
all, to take that death defying leap no matter how scary it may seem. When I
think of what it takes to be courageous I am reminded of the following quote
from Muhammad Ali, "He who is not courageous enough to take risks will
accomplish nothing in life." A risk can take many forms; it could be
risking a bad grade to take a challenging class in high school, risking the
loss of a dear friendship because you chose not to go with the group, or even
risking your future to pursue your hopes and dreams. So, to me, courage is the
willingness to take a risk. I believe that even the youngest of children have
the ability to be courageous because they will take many risks as they grow up.
It is the outcome of the risk that creates the person that they grow up to be.
I like to think that the risks I took to get where I am today are what made me
into the strong, ambitious woman that I am today. The amount of courage an
individual has is measured by the risks they are willing to take to achieve
their hopes and dreams, even when the risk could be failure.
