Bravery is when you're 3 or 4 and your teacher unexpectedly brings you in to the 'big kids' room to practice folk dancing; and you follow willingly.
Bravery is listening to some strange adults play music and shout directions at you; and still trying your best to copy what everyone else is doing.
Bravery is holding hands with strange children; and not crying when they pull you around unexpectedly in a circle.
Bravery is being separated from the classmate you do know to be partnered with a stranger; and barely even hesitating to follow.
Bravery is leaving that crowded, noisy room; and then coming back all on your own.
(I'm so proud of all my students who did all this and more today! They were so brave to participate so willingly in an unexpected and chaotic event with adults and children they're unfamiliar with. Excellent attitudes guys, just excellent!)
