Laudable
\’lo-de-bel\ adj: worthy of praise : commendable*

I believe that courage is present every day in big and small acts of kindness and valor. When individuals perform selfless acts, it is a clear representation of his or her character; how he or she were raised and how they incorporate his or her giving personality into his or her everyday lives.
I also affirm that not only does courage reveal itself in acts that are big but can be witnessed through situations that demand respect and enables that individual to stand up for what she or he strongly believes in; initiating meetings with the infamous “higher-ups” to make sure the job is being done right, fighting to re-establish a lost principle, giving up something that is a part of his or her life to keep one’s ideals close to his or her heart. All these examples are clear, laudable efforts to try and implement proper ways to treat people and to handle situations. I applaud people who go against the flow in a positive way and who want to make their stamp on the world the best way they know how: helpful and living their lives in God’s image.
