Courage to do the Right Thing!!!

                                             

In assembly last Friday, Mrs. Babine talked about courage.
She said that one way to define courage is the ability to do something difficult even if you are afraid.

Please share a time when you have had the courage to:

• tell the truth the first time you are asked/admit a mistake
• stand up for a friend
• stand up for yourself

How did you feel when your were admitting to making a mistake. Were you nervous? Were you sorry for what you did? Has anyone ever stood up for you in a tough situation? Make sure to write at least five good sentences.
