Example:
Bravery is defined as the quality that allows someone to do
things that are dangerous or frightening : the quality or state of
being brave (Merriam-Webster). It can be a difficult task to be
brave in the face of adversity. However, Diana Nyad, a long
distance swimmer, Cameron Russell, a super-model, and Sonia,
a girl who saves her dog, are all people who are worthy of
admiration for their brave acts. Clearly, these women show that it
takes strength and bravery to overcome obstacles.
