If you ask someone, “What does it mean to be courageous?” they might reference a superhero movie, thinking it’s about saving someone from a burning building, jumping in front of a car, or disarming a shooter. While these are acts of courage, we also need courage for everyday challenges—like walking away from conflict, pursuing our dreams, or talking to a stranger. Courage helps us choose the right emotion in tough situations and do what’s right. It’s a tool we all have, but not everyone knows how to use it. This course will help students unlock their superpower: courage. Cornelius offers practical tools to help them become more courageous in their lives.
