Title:I Am Not Afraid
Vanja learns that being courageous means confronting one's own anxieties, fears, and mistakes and that everyone, even the big ones, gets terrified now and then, and there is absolutely no harm in that. You never know if someone is brave no matter how much time you prepare them to be until something really happens which puts their learning to use. Bravery does not mean not being scared. It has more to do with being scared and facing your fears anyway.
