Courage from "summary" of The Moonlight School by Suzanne Woods Fisher
In the hills of eastern Kentucky, courage was a rare trait to find. The people of Troublesome Creek faced challenges every day - poverty, illiteracy, discrimination. But through it all, they found a strength within themselves that allowed them to keep going, to keep fighting for a better life. For Lucy Wilson, courage meant stepping out of her comfort zone and taking on the role of a teacher to adults who had never learned to read. It was a daunting task, but she knew that the rewards would be worth it. She saw the potential in each of her students, even when they didn't see it in themselves. As Lucy worked tirelessly to help her students overcome their fears and insecurities, she discovered that courage was not just about facing danger or adversity. It was also about facing your own weaknesses and doubts, and finding the strength to push past them. It was about believing in yourself and in the power of education to change lives. Through their struggles and triumphs, Lucy and her students showed that courage was not just a fleeting emotion, but a deep-seated belief in oneself and in the possibility of a better future. They proved that even in the darkest of times, there was always a flicker of hope that could light the way forward.- The people of Troublesome Creek learned that courage was not something you were born with, but something you could cultivate and nurture. It was a choice to stand up and fight for what you believed in, even when the odds were stacked against you. And it was this courage that ultimately led them to a brighter tomorrow, where the moonlight shone a little bit brighter on their small corner of the world.
