I time I have shown courage is possibly the time I went swimming with sharks! I was on a holiday in Bali and me and my family were on a snorkeling trip. Although I was a accompanied by all the other people on the trip sharks were one of my worst nightmares. Watching jaws was enough to keep me out of the water but seeing sharks was enough to keep me of the beach. I loved snorkeling without but with sharks I couldn't do it.
It took all my will to face my fear. All I had to do was jump in so I did. The shock of cold water gave me a chill then I looked below me and saw a huge shark as big as a car.As big as a big car. A dark shadow rising up beneath me. I kept an eye on it suspiciously and I got used to it. I started swimming around seeing more sharks peacefully passing by and I was actually starting to enjoy myself. My fear had vanished from existence.
To face a fear you need to think of why you fear that thing. Being scared of heights is common with a but there are reasons such as falling or possibly just looking down. Being scared of sharks has bundle of reasons whether it's being eaten, Being attacked or looking at there toothy grin. The key ingredient for facing a fear is courage. Everyone can do anything but not everyone would have the courage to do it. I would not be seen walking on the streets alone, it's just one thing that I wouldn't agree too. Being mugged would be a nasty experience. This has hopefully shared my ideas and experiences with courage.
I think that your blog was quite interesting. I am scared of sharks too. But I don't really have to guts to conquer that fear. I think that you could have discribed your surrounding a little more. Your writing style was pretty good. From reading this blog I think that you are quite brave and I'm hoping that one day I will be able to conquer my fear of sharks like you have. -Claire
