Working hard for something we don't like is stress... working hard for something we love is passion... I love this quote :)

[OlgaSunny-plsg]

Courage is extremely vital in everyone’s life. I recall a very memorable event while I was in second grade. I had a classmate who had all F’s and everyone in class mocked him. One day he had a metal locker in his hand and he was swinging while next to me it was the old heavy metal lockers that was used in 90’s. You get the picture. As he was swinging it got very close to my face I diverted the locker and it him right in his eye which caused purple bruising. The class was present when this happened during the recess. Every teacher who came to class it was noted that I did this to him. Being quiet and probably felt sorry for him because I was straight A student I remained silent with leaving impression it was my fault. One day one of our lead teachers comes to class and in front of everyone says I want you to come and stand here next to me which I obeyed her order. She started saying why did you do this to him can’t you see what you have caused his eye is all bruised. That is not acceptable and you will be detained. My friend whom I walked home with every day stood up and shouted but it is not her fault. And story was unfolded. If it wasn’t for Lilith’s courage I would still take the blame because I felt pity for this guy. I know many are reading . Courage is the key.
