Personal Narrative : The Fear Of A Blue Mountain

When I walked in today, some of the children were sitting on the floor and some were trying to play with the toys. As soon as I walked in Faith said hi to me and told me that we were going to go bowling and play bean bag toss after circle time. I sat with her and talked about what she did today, while we waited for the other big kids to come in. When circle time began Faith sat quietly on the rug. She did not sing along, but observed everyone else. She also didn’t do the hand motions besides for the weekday song. When Shalyn passed out the balloons Faith told me that she loves purple and really wanted to get the color purple. She waited her turn patiently and was just as excited to get the color blue. When it was time for her to get up and

It was five in the morning, I was still groggy and tired but I knew if I wanted to get a big deer I would have to wake up this early. I put on all of my warm cloths, grabbed my gun and me, my dad and all of my brothers climbed into the pickup to get to our hunting area. On our way out of town we filled the truck up with diesel and grabbed a quick snack to eat on our way out to the field.

The last time I was challenged or scared to do something wasn’t that long ago. It all started at the fair in October. I went with my friend, Olivia, with her sister and her sister's friends. This may not seem scary to you, but it is one of my biggest fears. Roller coaster, yep, that’s one of my biggest fears. I am afraid of heights, drops, loops, and turning roughly, which all contribute to roller coaster rides. My mom usually tells me, “Just do it Savanna” when I am too afraid of doing something. I mean I still like to have fun, but my fears get in the way of that sometimes, I mean most of the time.

My fear of heights hasn’t bothered me and this far in 12 years of life it really hasn’t, but now it does. I go on rollercoasters, I do things with huge drops, and I love it. I only get scared when I feel insecure. Usually I put my foot up against the rollercoaster car or the seat in front of me to give me leverage. Not today, today there are no seats, just a cord. Keeping my attached and kept safe, not to be safe, but for my sanity.

Have you ever looked off a tall cliff? Now Imagine going 30 mile per hour on a bike with curvy roads with huge cliffs on your side with no rails. I left with my family from our hotel in Manitou springs, Colorado. From the hotel we drove to a bike tour place to take us up Pikes Peak. When we got the building we saw pictures of how big the cliffs were, but another thing scared me even more was the fact they had no side rails. When I saw that there were no side rails I was really excited as well as terrified. It was an odd mix of emotions, but I liked the adrenaline rush it gave me. My dad said to me, “ This is going to be freaky”.

The Central Valley has been known as the epicenter for the most diverse set of students. Each year, there are students from all backgrounds that are given a multitude of opportunities to advance towards success. I was one of those students, the only difference between me and the student working beside me, was my confidence. However, in my junior year, I noticed a clear distinction between my class and me; there was a fine line between the quantity and quality of my work and many others’ works. This notion became apparent to me when the week of finals came along, and the moans and grunts bombarded the hallways as students began to gather their study materials. Certainly, I was weary of my finals just as much as the rest of the other students were.

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.

The day the second monster came I was at middle school. I stood by my locker trying to remember what I needed to bring to my next class when my closest friend started walking toward me. She walked toward me like a queen walking to her throne.

About 1 year ago, my family and I went to a glorious place called Crystal Mountains. Crystal Mtn is a ski resort in Thompsonville, MI. My family went because of our yearly Christmas gift exchange. My cousins traveled to this location as well. We all stayed at the resort for a week or so on Christmas. At Crystal Mountains, we did a lot of really fun things inside and outside of the cabin. All of what we did was a blast!

Summiting Everest depends on a number of factors, and any experienced climber knows this. Because Everest is the tallest mountain in the world, it is also regarded as a powerful one, and we all come to it both afraid and excited. In the name of the pursuit of happiness, we do something extremely difficult and dangerous. Yet, with at least 12 successful summits,we have always been an adventurous family, and we were ready for the biggest of all our enterprises. And so we arrived at Base Camp on the 1st of July.

Enter. A simple word that has so many meanings to me. In this instance, it meant to begin exporting a film from Final Cut onto Quicktime. Such a small act at that moment felt like one of the greatest feats of my life. I leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms as I watched the bar begin to load, signaling that my film would be finished exporting in forty-two minutes. Forty-two minutes until it was finished and another two and a half hours before it was to be shown in front of a crowd of hundreds of parents, children, industry professionals, and more.

“ Thank you, thank you, thank you! ” I said embracing my mom. I had been saving up for this day hoping my mom would let me go to Colorado with her.

Have you ever been on top of a large building and were too afraid to look over the side? Have you ever climbed a really tall tree and were too afraid to climb down? I have, when I was younger I climbed a really tall tree and when I got to the top I looked down, I was too afraid to climb back down. What I was experiencing was a fear of heights know as acrophobia. Acrophobia (n.d.) according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is an abnormal dread of being in a high place:  fear of heights. I believe that most people become a little scared when it comes to heights. There is nothing wrong with having acrophobia to an extent. It is a defense

A man was running walking to his destination and came across a mountain. He could hear the sounds of those who were chasing him. The mountain like a colossus stood defiantly in his path. All that he had was a rope and no equipment to climb the mountain. It was either climb the mountain or risk being caught. There was no other way to reach his destination. He looked at the mountain and made a decision. He placed his hand upon the rock and started his ascent up the mountain.
