Fear Of Failure

Life is full of wonderful things but just like there is wonderful things there's things that you are afraid of. Sometimes people are afraid because they never experienced it or just don't know the consequences. In order to keep on moving forward you have to lose fear of those things that you fear. You cant make your fear your obstacle of moving forward you have to keep on moving no matter how hard or tough it is. Overcoming a fear makes you stronger and feel better about your self.

I remember when I was a little girl I was afraid of the water. I actually don't know why I thought I had this fear because of something that happened when I was a baby. I decided to ask my mom and she said that nothing that deal with water had happened to me. I couldn't explain why I was afraid I felt like I was going to drown or die. My mom once said maybe is because you don't know how to swim I also thought the same thing but I wasn't sure.

So I decided to join into swimming lessons and learn how to swim to see if that could help me over come my fear over water. So yes this summer I decided to join and I went to 12th Street Gym for 8 week lessons. The first couple of days I couldn't even put my head in the water I was really scared that I was not going to learn. Then when I learned a little bit my teacher told me to swim back and ford I tried but something I will never forget happened. When I was on my way back I lost my breath and stopped in the middle of the pool which was 7 feet and drowned.

My teacher helped me and I got out I was upset that I failed. I went home and told my mom that I didn't wanted to go back she told me don't quit you will learn don't give up. So the next week from that I went and I said to myself "I CAN DO THIS" I got in the water and went back and ford I had made it I was happy. When my teacher got there I showed him and he said "Never give up on what you know you can overcome." Now that my swimming lessons are over I know how to swim now and I feel like I over came my fear.

Life is better once you overcome what you were scared of the most. Now that I know how to swim water won't be an obstacle for me to move on and continue. Who would of said that if I learned how to swim I would lose fear for the water. Now I love swimming I can't wait till the next summer to join again and maybe get in for swimming competitions. I'm happy with my self that I was brave enough to overcome my fear and now it made me love water.
