Whats Courage?

There are many possible reasons of what courage means, but my definition of courage is over coming your fears. Facing the things you fear most is a difficult thing to do. So with courage, and a bit of positivity you will be able to over come it. The book called, " Call it Courage," reminds me a lot of my perspective of courage, because the main character in the book, tries to over come his fear of water. I remember a time when I showed courage. I was about 8 years old, and my family, and I were in New Zealand during the summer break, and 1 day my parents decide to go paragliding. I was really terrified of heights at that time, and also it was my very first time doing that.
After we already jumped off the mountain, I closed my eyes for some of the way down. But soon after, I opened my eyes, and I saw a spectacular view. Soon we reached ground, and I was really happy that I did that. So after that experience I over came my fear of heights.
