Personal Experience : The Ultimate Prom Experience

Introduction: Almost everyone has an irrational fear or two—of mice, for example, or your annual dental checkup. For most people, these fears are minor. But when fears become so severe that they cause tremendous anxiety and interfere with your normal life, they’re called phobias. A phobia is an intense fear of something that, in reality, poses little or no actual danger. Common phobias and fears include closed-in places, heights, highway driving, flying insects, snakes, and needles. However, we can develop phobias of virtually anything. Most phobias develop in childhood, but they can also develop in adults. If you

AIRPLANES. I know SO MANY PEOPLE who are afraid of flying in an airplane just because they hear about plane crashes on the news! If you’re going to be afraid of something like that, you might as well be afraid of riding in a car, because that’s MUCH MORE LIKELY to happen! SO many airplanes go in and out of airports every day, yet you don’t hear about plane crashes NEARLY as much as car crashes! Car crashes are boring because they can’t hold hundreds of people. That’s why the media cares about plane crashes - a lot of people die at one time. Except those “at one time”s don’t happen very often! More people die in car crashes than plane crashes. Don’t be afraid of planes. It’s so unlikely that that’s how you’re going to

I have been involved in the Youth Council for about one year. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Being in the Youth council has really taught me a great deal and has given me a new perspective. Before joining the Youth Council I was seldom involved in any community service activities outside of my school. I was fortunate enough to find out about the Youth Council through a family member and quickly signed up to volunteer.

On the plane trip to Nicaragua, I had to face fears of mine. I have always been scared of even the thought of someone riding on a small plane, nevertheless me riding one. I feel as if they are going to fall straight out of the sky. But I knew that going to Nicaragua meant having to ride on a small plane. The first two planes where normal size planes, but the plane to Nicaragua from Houston was an extremely small plane. I was freaking out!

There are many stages in a person’s life, people usually just try to fit in. An individual will normally look for “groups”, or people who share the same interests as themselves. In order to get them into a certain group the individual needs to feel as if they are at a safe place to just be themselves without having to be judged by another person. For example, in Prom Night in Mississippi, Morgan Freemen worked at desegregating the blacks and whites prom. He wanted to people to realize that there shouldn’t be groups that they were expected to grow up in. They should be able to be with whomever they decided to hang out with, whether it's a black person hanging out with a white person. These students in this movie experienced in-groups and out groups and they attempted to work against them.

We submitted our tickets and headed towards the most terrifying- edge- of- your- seat- roller coaster...Fahrenheit. This was the ultimate fear ride for me. Reason being, at that time I was scared of super tall roller coasters like that. My mom, brother, and I walked up to the line.

On January 4, 2010 my family and I needed to go to the Louis Armstrong airport to fly to Miami so we could pick up my grandmother from the airport. This was her first time to the U.S. since she lived in Cuba all of her life. I hated plane flights because of all the plane disaster movies I watched a few years back and it would be the first time i would ride a plane . Whenever I got on a plane, I would always freak out because I was always worried of a plane crash.

“I think it is important to keep up with things in the community, the old people need entertainment too,” said junior, Hailey Hoskins, who helped put on a senior prom at the Cokato Manor. Dassel-Cokato high school students took an afternoon off school to

My biggest fear was death, but not the end of my own life, the end of your life. I still remember the days leading up to your death. You were at the hospital for most of them, unable to talk but you could still hear

Haven't you had a fear before. Could be snakes,heights or my old fear of roller coasters. So back in 7th grade at Mountain school there was a trip to Six Flags every year. I hated roller coasters I used to make up dumb reasons why I couldn't go on them. My dad was also afraid and my entire family knew he was making me hate them.

But it also triggered the fear of flying. I have a fear of flying myself. The thought of flying make me anxious. To be honest I get sick to my stomach just riding passenger in the truck my husband owns.

I imagined how I would act if I wasn't afraid of heights and I tried to act the part. We got into line and we waited for our turn. When the two people in front of us got on, I rushed to the spot where they had been a moment before. Kevin had already explained to me that I needed to let the chair hit the back of my knees, and all I had to do was sit down. I did just as he had instructed, and consequently, everything went fine. My anxiety left me and I actually enjoyed the ride to the top. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be; in fact, it was quite the opposite. As we neared the spot where people were getting off, I watched other kids get off and I mentally prepared myself to do exactly as they had just done. But when we got to the ramp to get off, the front of my left ski got caught on the wooden railing for the ramp. The chair lift kept moving forward, pulling my leg farther and farther behind me until I heard a loud pop! I anticipated the pain, but none came. My ski had popped off! I then realized that I had missed my exit. In a split second decision, I jumped. I hit the ground and just as soon as I did, I was surrounded by the ski patrol in their bright red

Senior prom is an occasion that students begin to anticipate years in advance. For some it is seen as the best night of high school. You get to dress up with your friends, take pictures, dance like no one's watching, eat all the scrumptious food, and at the end of the night you get to slow dance with the date of your choice. Towards the end of the year as prom is nearing, everything turns into madness because people try to solidify the perfect prom date to truly make the night magical. If all of the seniors were told that they had to find out who they were going to prom with by reading a random name on a piece of paper, there would be even more madness. However, Aquin High School actually tried this so no one feels ashamed or embarrassed for not having a prom date or believes that you

Everybody is afraid of something. Some people deny that they’re afraid of anything, but they’re either lying to you or themselves, because everyone is afraid of something, even if it hides in the back of your mind. Some of the most common fears are fear of heights, fear of spiders, fear of people, fear of death, and

The average day was going just as I imagined it would’ve. I went to school, went to lunch with Jake, Spencer, and May, then had my daily boy talk and rant session with May while doing homework. Everything was going just average and it was fine up until May brought up the soon to come, Prom of 2014. Then, as expected, the Student Body called an emergency meeting and announced the theme for Prom.
