The Courage of Children: Boston and Beyond XXX
Yusuf Saad William Vandall, Teacher Al-Noor Academy Courage to me means helping people when they are being taken advantage of or can’t take care of themselves. This happens a lot, especially with young people. The story I am about to tell you is about a time when I used to get bullied. Many kids made fun of my last name, Saad. They used to tell me that I was sad. But I am Egyptian, and ironically, the word Saad in Arabic means happy. I experienced courage when I used to get made fun of, and some of my friends stood up for me. I didn’t stand up for myself then, because I thought the boys were just joking, which they were, but it hurt me. I learned that sometimes, people have to say something when other people are being unkind. I learned that from my friends. Maybe the next time, I will be the one standing up for them.
