The Summary of this Prose
A couple of years ago, Bill witnessed great courage.
At a high school assembly, he had spoken about picking on people, and they have ability to stand up for people instead of putting them down. They had a time to talk about their thinking. Some students spoke of people who had helped them.
   A senior girl said to all students. "Let's stop picking on that boy. He is different from us, but his inside is no different from ours. He needs our acceptance, compassion and love."
   Bill thought that the boy must feel shame, but the boy was smiling from ear to ear. The boy thanked her for the courage in action to talk about himself.

10. IGT
My Opinion
   After reading this story, I was so surprised at her courage for the boy because it is easy to became indifferent about other people's problem.
 I heard that the courage is not the absence of fear but the capacity for action despite our fears. We all need courage in order to take some action to fight injustice or to try unskilled work. I sometimes gave up to do that because I couldn't get enough courage. After that time, I was so regretful that I couldn't do my best.
   Her courage might change the boy’s life. If you want to change your life, you will overcome your fear. The courage can save your life.
