Grade 6 :: Vocabulary by pwelbourn

Sandra made an incredible display of bravado when she was bullied by Allison. She seemed to react stoically to the loud threats and accusations that Allison made. When Allison was called to the principal's office, she quickly said that she wanted to make restitution with Sandra, and ask for forgiveness. When face to face with Sandra, Allison no longer seemed big and bold, she seemed pathetic . At lunch the following day there was quite a procession of Sandra's friends, who seemed to respect her for the bold stand she had taken. The group seemed like quite the horde swarming after their new-found hero. They learned that there was no reason to feel distraught when put into a threatening situation. All you need to do is summon your courage and face the ordeal with confidence. As Nelson Mandela once said, "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
