<strong>Courage</strong> is an act <strong>of</strong> struggling, an effort to face any obstacles that happen<br />
to all people in many parts <strong>of</strong> their lives.<br />
I am a student who studies hard, but my family isn’t rich. When I was a sixth<br />
grade student, I didn’t have enough time to go to school because <strong>of</strong> the work<br />
I did to help my family, so I went to school in the morning only. I was unable<br />
to go to school in the afternoon or attend any <strong>of</strong> the extra-curricular courses<br />
outside <strong>of</strong> school, because I was busy running a tiny business to sell things to<br />
support my family’s living condition. Because <strong>of</strong> the power <strong>of</strong> courage <strong>and</strong> the<br />
encouragement <strong>of</strong> my parents <strong>and</strong> teachers, I was able to bravely overcome all<br />
obstacles to studying on my own. Because <strong>of</strong> this courage they taught me,<br />
I was able to succeed at school <strong>and</strong> progress to the eighth grade this year<br />
I would like to express my gratefulness to my lovely parents <strong>and</strong> my teachers<br />
who are like my second parents. All <strong>of</strong> them have always persuaded me <strong>and</strong><br />
encouraged me to find the courage that would help me overcome obstacles<br />
<strong>and</strong> bring success to any endeavors in my life. <strong>Courage</strong> has shown me how<br />
to succeed in the face <strong>of</strong> obstacles.<br />
