L.A. Fear Paragraph by Hasnain 9-A

For many years, I have had a fear, a very common fear. But to me it was something that was controlling me on the inside, it was controlling my life. I was scared, I didn’t want to face it, I feared that if I did face it, it would take over my entire life in a second. I am still scared that it will strike me at any moment of time.

Whenever I was at a place high enough, and whenever I looked down, my heart would start pumping rapidly, my legs would get weaker and I would tremble, and I could barely catch my breath. I have had many vivid memories of my fear. A more recent one is when me and my family flew to Germany.

It was planned as a vacation, we would stay there for a few days, and come back to Pakistan. …show more content…

And everytime I looked out of something high, I would remember those tragic moments. But one day, I decided to overcome my fear because if you don’t overcome those fears, they will take over your life and control it. I also felt like facing your fears is the best way to make them disappear.

So from that day on, I promised myself that I would do anything to overcome my fears. Whenever I was at the top of a tall building, I would purposely look down. My legs still shake, my heartbeat was still racing. But I felt improvement. I would ride roller coasters, and do activities that make me stronger, and make my fears weaker.

Today, I can happily say that I have lost that fear, and it will never come back. The ways that I overcame my fear are: Acknowledging my fear and facing it. Believing that I can move through it. Visualizing the possibility of overcoming my fear, if I didn’t believe that I could overcome my fear, then I would have never overcame it. I had faith in myself that I could conquer it and take a step towards it. Everyday, I continued walking ahead and facing my fear and eventually that fear will start to fade. I acknowledged myself when I conquered my fear and I gave permission to let my fear go. And most importantly, to this day, I am proud of my

    Dr. Nichols (2010) writes; “Many fears are positive and productive because they prod [one] to do something about fearful situations” (p. 23). “Fear is a healthy, natural response that can turn unhealthy and manipulative” (Nichols, 2010, p. 70). The concept of action should be one of encouragement because fear can cause anxiety, anger, and depression. Anxiety “wastes mental, physical, and spiritual energy” (Nichols, 2010, p. 54), and anger is a “dangerous emotion that becomes a distraction from the main problem” (Nichols, 2010, p. 57). Fear can also cause bodily damage over a period of time, including heart disease, cancer, and damage to the immune system (Nichols,

    When my sister and I would have separate rooms, I decided to appeal to the logical part of my brain about my fear of the dark, telling myself that total darkness allows one to fall into the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage faster. Armed with this knowledge, I slept for the first time without light and woke up with no nightmares and feeling well-rested. By overcoming that fear, it changed the way I looked at what fear really was. In conclusion, fear is moments that are considered to be dangerous from an emotional standpoint but is actually the key to feeling a sense of pride and courage when one overcomes these obstacles. What I had regarded as a useless function of emotions just meant to keep people from their potential, I discovered that it was the opposite; fear is meant to allow people to recognize their limits, and have them motivated to push past them, to reach your true potential in
