Courage the cowardly lion.

Courage: the qulity of mind or spirit the enables someone to face difficulty, danger, or pain.

Today, in my world history class we talked about "the tank man". For those of you who don't know, the tank man stood in front a line of a dozen Chinesse army tanks the day after a huge protest Beijing. We spoke about the courage this young man had to go infront of a dozen millitary tanks the day after a protest and stop them as they were in away celebrating their control down the streets. It is believed that this man was later killed for his rebelion. But this man had the courage to do something no one else did and to this day we still celebrate him and others like him.

Think about the civil rights movment. Students, young adults, Kids, whatever you want to call them were the ones going and doing the sit ins. They were the ones protesting and fighting for a change.

Okay, let me be a dork here now. For those Harry Potter fans out there think about his courage to fight "you-know-who". Harry, a young adult had more courage than most grown wizards. He wasn't afraid to fight Voldemort.

Courage comes from people my age, young adults. We're the ones who are out there changing the world. But what is sad to me is that i don't see anyone young having enough courage to step out of our boxes, away from our phones, off our facebooks, free of our ipods and making a differance in this world. We all need to have the courage to step up for something we believe in.

So, i challenge all of you, young, old, middle aged to go out and have courage to step up and make a change in this world. Cuase if we don't who will? and what if no one does? what will happen then?
