I see courage in myself. Sometimes I can have bravery in me and do things that are scary to do like talk in a large group of people. I have needed this in my life because it makes me a better learner at school and have courage to speak in a large group. when I was at my concert I was scared to translate but I still did it because I couldn't leave so I did something that was scary to me I could use this quality to bring change by showing people to not be shy and to share their thoughts with others and have a little bit of courage to do things that are scary for them.
While creating my yard sign for the 5th grade campaign for leadership, I had to make several design choices. I chose black ops one because it makes the word look strong and the font is like your braveness. I picked dark magenta 2 because you have to courage to do something that's scary to do and it reminded me of a dark color the dark color is like your fear.
