Courage to Choose
James N., age 6, Utah
One day I was with my friend in a school science lab. My friend dared me to push the fire alarm. I didn’t want to do it, but he said that I couldn’t be his friend if I didn’t push it. I wouldn’t do it. I felt sad that he said I wasn’t his friend, but I was glad that I had the strength to make the right choice.
