Fears becoming reality
I think the worse thing to happen in life that could happen is when when of my nightmares can become real. I remember when I was college in another state away from my family. I was invited with some new friends to have a tour of the town. We went around the small shops, one of the gardens the students from the university can work on as project for school or volunteering. We exploring more of the town when a man walked up to us and as if he could talk with us about something. We decided to run away from him and it was good thing he didn't follow us. I believe it was because we surrounded by alot people in town and the school was near by so that is what helped. Our parents tell us how careful we should be when it comes to talking to strangers or look for signs in a person if something is not right. I never thought with stranger danger that it would happen because I believed I was safe every I went. I realized I was wrong that day after seeing what my parents warned me about. The best way I faced it was running to a safe place. I know it might now sound like it but it is much better than then talking with that stranger and having the possibility of being kidnapped. I have many stories I could tell you where I had many nightmare that became a reality where some I have faced and some where I couldn't because I was afraid. I faced one of my fears once in high school by standing up for myself against a bully. He kept picking me because I was a quiet and shy girl. One day he just kept pushing my chair in and out non stop, kept telling me I wouldn't do anything about it. I was tired of just being quiet and letting it happen. I decided that enough was enough. I turned around and slapped in the face. It felt so good to finally do something about. I wasn't treated like that anymore in that school and people started talking to me after. I think it is good to have the courage to be able to fave your fears. Don't be afraid of your nightmares and be strong. Be strong! Stand up for yourself!
