Courage
— Noun — the quality of mind or spirit
that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc.,
without fear.
Have you ever done something you knew was the right thing to
do, even though you were scared to do it? Have you ever tried
something that looked very hard, even though you weren’t sure you’d be able to do it? Deciding to put aside your fear and do something that scares you — even though it scares you — is
courage in action, and you probably felt very good about what
you did. And you should!
Courage shows up in many ways all around you. Courage is standing up for a friend, helping someone in need or sticking with something that is hard for you to do. Sometimes, things that scare us are
scary just because they are new, but trying new things is how we
grow. As a young person, courage is one of the most important
things you can develop. Having courage makes you a better person, a better student, a better martial artist and a better citizen.

SOAP CLOUDS
This cool science experiment shows what happens when
trapped water heats, expands, and vaporizes. You will need
adult supervision and permission to use the microwave.
1. First, fill a bowl with water and drop a bar of Ivory soap
into the bowl. This experiment will not work will all types
of bar soap, so make sure you have Ivory brand soap.
2. Remove your soap from the water, let it dry, and
place the bar in the middle of a plate covered with
a paper towel.
3. Place the plate in the center of the microwave oven.
4. Cook your soap on high for two minutes.
5. Watch the bar of soap expand and erupt into beautiful,
puffy clouds. Let your soap cloud cool for at least two
minutes before you remove it from the microwave.
Why did it turn into a cloud? The expanding effect is caused
by the water that gets trapped in the air bubbles in the bar of
soap. The water turns into steam as it is heated and, when
that air gets trapped, it creates bubbles in the heated, soft,
pliable soap.
