Courage: A courageous student does the right thing, even when it’s incredibly difficult. Middle school can be a tough environment. This student embraces who they are. They might have overcome severe personal or academic obstacles or adversity or taken a risk to advocate for something or someone they believe in. Courage is about bravery, resilience and integrity in the face of fear or difficulty.
