College Takes Courage
The goal of this lesson is to allow you to put research on courage into practice as you face college-related challenges, such as choosing/changing your major/minor, applying for a job, starting/ending a relationship, joining a community, having a difficult conversation, or putting an idea into the world. You will reflect on your college-related challenges and the processes necessary for calling on courage through written and craft-based reflection of a courage crown.
