Courage
By: Helena Gougeon
What is courage?
What do we need courage for?
What is courage used for?
I do not have the answers to these questions.
But I do know one thing about courage and it is that every single person on this planet has it.
Some people show it more then others.
And those people are leaders.
If Nelson Mandela had not shown courage he would not be the president of Africa and a lot of things would be different.
If Martin Luther King Junior had not shown courage we would still be separated into blacks and whites.
If Abraham Lincoln had not shown courage their would still be slavery in the United States and the north and the south would be two different countries.
Their were many leaders in the past who showed courage and if they did not show that courage we would not be where we are now.
Now tell me, are you a leader?
