Building Character: COURAGE

Our value of the week is COURAGE.

"Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow".
-Mary Anne Radmacher

We viewed and discussed the example of Bethany Hamilton, a young girl who lost her arm when she was attacked by a shark while surfing.  Bethany has "roaring" courage, but also courage that allows her to get up each day and "try again".  No doubt, she is rising above the challenges in her life.
