One experience i had with courage was when i was 12 years old and  i stood up for a kid who was getting bullied. considering the fact that i was really shy it took a lot of effort  on my part to do that because usually i liked to stay to myself and not to meddle in the affairs of other people. But in this particular instance the person who was getting bullied seemed to be very nervous and shy and unable to stand up for herself, i was tempted to just walk away until i saw that the girl was crying so i took the initiative to be courageous and to stick up for that girl since no one else was going to. when i stuck up for her i felt very good about myself and although that one time of me sticking up for her didn't stop her from getting bullied at least i knew that i did something good in not contributing to the bullying but attempting to stand up for the girl that was getting bullied.
