My mind kept telling me to take the easy way out and quit. Just don’t show up, no one will mind or miss you. As the first night of class approached the thought of quitting got stronger and stronger. Finally, that night came, and I had to face my fears and go back to school. I pulled into the parking lot, got out and a funny thing happened, my mind said, “ Just skip tonight and come back next week!” The stress immediately left my body because I thought I had come up with a solution to my problem. I got back in my car and then it hit me that I still had to face the same fears next week that I had now. The stress of this situation immediately came back.
