Fear is an emotion that we all try to conquer. Finishing school has been a fear I have lived with most of my life. Changing things up will take a lot of self-discipline for me. I want to take this fear and throw it in an imaginary trash can because I don’t want to live in fear of being successful. So I’ll push through this struggle to get to the Holy Grail. Showing the inside my mind and the piece that held me back for so long until I found a way to overflow the good over the bad. As a young child going to school I was terrified. School was not my favorite thing in the world it was like going to prison. I wasn’t the smartest cookie in the jar but when I went to school I felt like the students and teachers made me realize even more that I was not so smart. Fearing not finishing my degree comes from my past and the way I was talked at by people, telling me that I wasn’t going to amount to much. When people bash me saying things such as I might not even make to high school graduation just because I was not …show more content…

I made a deal with myself that I would work towards finishing things no matter how scared I am of those past thoughts. Right or wrong I at least make an attempt to try to finish work now. I try my hardest to overcome my fear by motivating myself with family as well, I have younger siblings looking up to me to set an example and that’s what I’m going to do. One way I really deal with the demon of fear is I pray to god to give me strength at all times. Sometimes I feel like everything is going crumble to pieces, I get weak at times in my mind shuts down but in my heart I know I have to keep going. Making an attempt at overcoming my fear was harder than trying to run on top of water. I try to use all the positive vibes around me to keep a smile on my face with that smile on my face I feel invincible.

    When realizing what you fear, you are more likely to be scared and hurt by the fear. Since it has been feared for so long that idea of fear starts to fade without realizing it because it is normal at some point.

    It is common to fear a challenge or obstacle that stands in one's way, Nelson Mandela's quote, "I learned that courage is not the absence of fear but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear" reminds us that true courage is not a lack of fear, but rather the ability to overcome it. It is not about avoiding fear, but about facing it head on and prevailing. The short story “The Terror” by Junot Diaz is a great example of the quote.

  • The Secret To Fixing Bad Schools Summary

    Americans, when they think of Civil Rights probably think of the Civil Rights Movement. During the civil rights era African Americans fought to be treated as equals by fighting segregated schools, for their voting rights, and for their basic right that every American has today. To say that education is our civil rights movement of today is inaccurate. Antonio Alvarez’s narrative “Out Of My Hands” focuses on a financially struggling family, but proving that they can succeed. David L. Kirp’s article “The Secret to Fixing Bad Schools” reinforces the idea that even though a community might be poor, that doesn’t have to reflect the quality of education students receive.

  • Should Everyone Go To College Isabel Sawhill Analysis

    411 Words  | 2 Pages

    Attending college is an important life choice everyone should make. Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill, the authors of Should Everyone Go to College?, explore that “…the median earnings of about $30,000 for 25-34-year old high school graduates working full-time in 2010, this implies that a year in college increases earnings by $3,000, and four years increases them by $12,000” (They Say/I Say pg.209/para. 3). In the Owen and Sawhill article they provide information on the difference in a person’s salary with a high school diploma compared to a person’s salary with a one year certificate and a bachelor’s degree. Owen and Sawhill continues on to state that, “there are many non-monetary benefits of schooling that are harder to measure but no less important” (They Say/I Say pg.210/para.3). The authors used information gathered from research reports that they conducted to determine salary and/or wage earnings for an individual who attends one year of college versus four years of college.
