Facing Our Fears

               There are many things we are afraid of. There are times that we give up easily without even trying. Like my own experience of being scared in riding a roller coaster, I didn't enjoy fairs/amusement parks that time. Sometimes, our fears can make us stronger if we try to be brave. We can also prove that simple things like that wont make us give up or show that we are weak. Trying new things are fun actually. We may learn things when we put bravery first. My second fear is, having to  go to the hospital when I'm sick. Injections are one of my fears ever since I was small. Most of the time when I get injected, I try to run away and hide somewhere they won't find me but at then end, I have no choice but to have myself injected. My third experience is being a part of the class chairman. Being an officer is hard. From my first experience last year, I was excited because I get to experience it but after how many months, I felt the pressure because most of the students weren't listening and participating and of course, one of my fears there is scolding them to keep quiet because I was scared that they'd talk behind my back but I guess, it isn't a right thing to think of because, I was chosen to be a class officer because they know that I'm responsible enough to do my responsibilities being an officer and with that, I chose to face my fears because I know that in the end of the school year, it will be a big success and a good feeling as well.

              Facing one's fear takes a lot of courage. Some people, when they face their fears, it causes their knees to shake and their heart starts to beat fast and others feel/get light headed and have cold sweats. We try to show that we are strong to face those fears but sometimes, we feel like crying inside. With all these fears we have, sometimes, we don't have any choice but to face it. Sometimes we act like we are tough but inside, we aren't really that tough looking. Having to face these fears, we can be successful because it is something we need to overcome someday and be proud that we made it and that is because of all the effort we put into our lives that shows our toughest side.
