Having Courage

Courage is a very strong and powerful characteristic that a person can have. The meaning of courage is bravery; the quality of mind and spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, and pain without fear.

In my opinion, courage is something that needs to be developed in a person. A person wouldn't be able to have courage without experience, for they don't know what they're capable of and what's coming up for them. When you're born, you are being raised and taught to be courageous. Having courage shows that a person is strong-willed, and most of the time, independent. For example, the first time I went for a music recital, I was scared to death because I wasn't courageous enough to play in front of a large audience. As I grew older, I had adequate experience to have the courage to play in front of an audience, without being too nervous and scared. Through my experience, I have learned that developing courage is done with patience and time.

To conclude, courage is something a person needs to develop and improve. A person simply cannot be born with courage because they haven't been taught how to. With patience and experience, anyone can be courageous at anything if they just try and do their best.
