    Then came empathy. Sarah made an effort to understand the feelings of others, to be there for them in times of need. She listened more and spoke less.

    Courage was next. She stood up for what she believed in, even when others disagreed. She knew that being brave didn't mean not being scared, but acting despite the fear.
