Courage : Born with or not?
Some people may think they are born with courage because they don't remember doing anything to develop it. But actually, courage is something you can develop and you might not even notice it. In school, your teacher might ask you a question and you raise your hand to answer it. By doing this, you are already developing courage; intellectual courage to be exact. Another example is talking to people who you are not familiar with, or making new friends; by doing this is, you showing emotional courage, or the courage to open up to others. In the story, "The Wizard of Oz", the lion thinks he doesn't have courage. But by travelling with Dorothy to the palace of the wizard, he is already showing social and emotional courage. In conclusion, I believe that courage is not something you are born with but it is something that you can develop.

I agree that courage is definitely something you develop. The post was overall great and you included examples and reasons why courage can be developed.I liked how you related the Wizard of Oz to the post which makes it much more interesting.
