FACiNG ONE OF MY BiGGEST FEARS!

8/18/09 I started to face one of my BIGGEST FEARS! And thats swimming. Yeah I might hang out in the pool with family and friends but you wont actually see me swimming. I started taking lessons. Thats to thee lil homie bayla and her mom I can do it. Yeah I was nervous and scared out my mind at first but now that I’ve relaxed a little it’s easier than I ever guessed. Im not ready to go on the deep end yet but I’ll work my way up there. Some of you reading this probably are thinking why is this girl scared of swimming but ok I’ll give u a quick summary. [I was little. At a pool party. Everybody in the pool. All the big kids jumpin off the diving board and having fun. I was just sittin in the shallow end it was cool but I wanted to be with them laughing and having fun so what I did was go to the diving board look I wasnt even scared. So I did what I seen other people doing I backed up and ran to the diving board and jumped off. Not realizing I cant swim til I wasnt comin up & panicked. Almost drowned. Luckily my god bro jumped in and saved me. Yes I was stupid for that but everyone does crazy stuff in there life and this was one of mine. Ever since then I’ve been terrified of swimmin. It’s not until recently I even got into a pool. It’s a process but I CAN DO THIS]. Im just lucky I have this opportunity to be able to take lessons and be around people that wont judge you.

    Yu already beat the first major step
    by stepping outside of your box and trying.
    Fear is all mental and when something is programmed in our head that we're scared of it of course we're not going to go for it but you can't let fear run with you the rest of your life and you're not so i'm proud of you for that. Good Job!
