    I think most majors require public speaking, even if they aren’t communications focused. I know I had to take it (and found it equally fun). This: ” If Sam and Frodo can trek across Mordor, surely I can take on this horrible test I despise.” – Yes. I’ve always found it fascinating that fiction can be such a source of strength to us. It’s the power of the truth behind the story. 🙂

    So many stories with courage – which one can I choose? The very cool thing about doing something you are terrified to do is how you feel afterward. Like you can do anything! Sure, that’s a little short-lived, but for the time it lingers, it’s wonderful.

    Great post, Zac! Thanks!

    Another one from the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe:
    “Peter did not feel very brave; indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do.”

What do you think?
