I noticed that a lot of people are scared to try new stuff and are not risk takers. I realize when you don’t believe in your self it will be hard to do things you are scared of. If you do believe in yourself …… maybe you can answer that.
I learned that it takes focus to face your fears. For example, when my dad put me on the drivers seat I got scared because I was to small and did not not know how to drive. I took a risk and stepped on the petal and the car ran and I almost crashed. I had fun and it was not scary. You might think it is but no. All it takes is focus.
Now I know that you need safety gear before you climb a tree. Another example is when I was being forced to climb a tree in my garden. I climbed the tree with all my energy but could not come down.I was scared but I looked at my family and jumped with my eyes closed and thought about being scared. After that I landed but with a cut from a twig. It was worth a risk.
As I look back I realize to ask your friend where he is going. Another time is when my friend Dennis was looking for his friend and he was at four square. He was at first scared cause he did not know how to play. He did not want to play but his friend told him to. He said to try new things because you do not know how it is. He listened and tried. He was really good. Since then he played and he played good.
The important thing is that you think twice. The last reason is when I was scared of a mattress race and my friends called me names. And I said why must I be scared it will not kill me so I jumped but did not think twice so I grabbed on the ramp. I was hanging with one hand and the mattress slid down the ramp and flew off I was stuck. It was life and death without the mattress a 80 ft drop. I let go and rolled down and cut my chin. After that I smacked the wall with a sting.I am lucky I am alive.
The last last reason is when I was scared to ride the Hollywood Tower Hotel ride was super scared. My sisters told me it was not scary. I was still scared but then I saw the ride it was not scary. All I had to do was see how the ride was. It is not scary.
Last last last I swear last reason is when I noticed the class rep posters my friend told me to run for class rep. I got scared and said no. He told me for days and I said……. FINE!!!!!!!!! so I signed up and when I gave a speech I was shy but my friend said he was proud. I gave the speech. Few days later….BOOM new class rep and was not scared.
