This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub. I don't know when I had the courage to do a lot of the things that I do on a regular

0:15.8

basis. Sometimes I look back and go, oh, you're bold. But I do know that courage, like confidence,

0:21.6

stacks up over time. It accum accumulates and I can go back as far as the

0:25.8

sixth grade and asking this really scary principle to skip and I've told this story many times

0:30.7
