To be brave means to continue to fight for what you believe and pursue your dreams in the face of opposition, trials and even threats to life.
For example, In Malala's speech, she said, "Dear Friends, on the 9th of October 2012, the Taliban shot me on the left side of my forehead. They shot my friends too. They thought that the bullets would silence us. But they failed. And then, out of that silence came, thousands of voices. The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born. I am the same Malala. My ambitions are the same. My hopes are the same. My dreams are the same."
This means that she has dedicated her life to preaching peace, education, human right and equality, not minding her own insecurity or whatever persecution she faces for what she believes. This is her definition of bravery, boldness and courage.
Self-financing ones studies can be very burdensome because it means in many cases, working extra jobs to keep up. This certainly will create a work-life-study imbalance. Hence the need for Academic Funding.
<h3>Here are some of the consequences of not applying for funding</h3>
1. Poor Attendance of Lectures
2. Problems with enrollment status
3. In some cases, dropping out because one can no longer keep up
4. high emotional stress
5. bad academic performance etc.
One way to avoid the above is to simply apply for funding or a scholarship.
