Paragraph Of The Week

When have you had to demonstrate bravery and courage? What is the hardest thing about having courage?

“We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.” Veronica Roth, Divergent.

  When I saw the prompt for this week’s paragraph of the week, my mind went straight to here. Sometimes, so many small things take a tremendous amount of courage. An example of this might be simply saying hi to someone you may hardly know. In my opinion, these small acts of bravery can make you feel spontaneous instead of cautious. It is the ordinary acts of courage like talking to a stranger that leads to going against someone. I find it hard to remember one particular act of bravery, but sometimes it feels like these more minor accomplishments feel just as great.
