Today, I am going to be writing about a fear that I had as a child.
I was absolutely terrified of escalators in malls, buildings, Etc. I tried my best to avoid them as much as possible but they just se emed to be everywhere, and the fastest way to travel up or down a store. I personally always preferred elevators instead of escalators when I was a child but one day I couldn’t avoid the escalator, I Had to overcome my fear.
Bright and early Saturday morning I woke up excited. My mom told me that we were going out to the mall. Going to the mall was my second favorite thing to do, my first was going to Toys R US.
I got dressed and Ate breakfast, My mom always cooked a Immense breakfast on the weekends which I enjoyed. It was my favorite meal of the day. When i was done with breakfast we left home and started heading out to the Mall. I got more excited as we got closer and closer to the mall.

I soon told my mom that I didn’t want to get on one because I was afraid. She simply said “baby you have to overcome yours fears’’ once i heard that, my happiness turned into sadness in a snap of a finger. After walking into to the mall we entered a store named “Macy’s”, this was my mom’s favorite store. I hated it because their weren’t any toys, nothing but clothes. Toys were the only thing I looked for in a store. As were walking through Macy’s my older brother mentions that he has to go upstairs to the Men’s section. “The only way to reach the men’s section was the get on the escalator” he said. My brother did this on
"down and "ah" of "dark." Not only does the line tell us we are moving down,
Introduce Topic: A phobia as defined by medicalnewstoday.com, “is an irrational fear, a kind of anxiety disorder in which the sufferer has a relentless dread of a situation, living creature, place or thing.”
The breakfast was the most delicious breakfast I have ever had. The first breakfast we had waffles, bacon, and eggs.
It was a warm April day and all of the students were let out of school for the day. I went home to finish packing with the help of my parents making sure that I had everything and I wasn 't forgetting. I was excited for a week now to go on the trip to Washington D.C. with the whole 8th grade class for a week.
My mom had been going to school in Greeley and staying at my Aunt Margaret's house . She had been away for two weeks and wanted to come home for the Fourth of July weekend. My mom had suggested that I go back with her and visit colleges, shop, go to movies and just spend time together. I had been feeling pretty sorry for myself since she had been gone. I had been working alot as a maid and helping my dad run the house, I was getting very irritated with my siblings as I felt that I was the only family member doing my part to help my dad. I was really excited to have a week with my mom to myself. The whole ride over we were talking about what I wanted to do that week. Making plans and having "me time" seemed very important at the time.
Irish Playwright, George Bernard Shaw, once said, “The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity.” Inhumanity is mankind’s worse attribute. Ordinary humans sometimes are driven to the point were they have no choice but to think of themselves. This indifference can result in inhumanity. One of the most famous example used today, is the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel’s memoir, Night, demonstrates how fear is a deliberating force that causes people to act in ways they never thought possible. After being forced into concentration camps, Elie and his family have seen and done such cruel acts that have traumatized him for life. His fears rob Elie of his innocence and lead him to lose faith along with the breakdown close relationships.
It was the Monday before Thanksgiving. I was out of work at the time so I got up around nine o’clock. I wasn’t feeling well, like I had eaten something that just was not agreeing with me. So I rolled out of bed and went downstairs. My girlfriend and her mom were at the kitchen table working on decorations for the party they were hosting for the holiday.
Those who have been diagnosed as phobics had their lives altered by submitting to the overpowering urge to avoid their fears at all costs. Facing one's fear is not the easiest thing to do, but there are newer, safer, and easier methods to tear down the false fear an object or situation has over someone. Phobias, that come from unknown origins, have a tremendous influence over the growth processes of personalities and the creation of an individual's lifestyle.

...r was that I was afraid of death, and not being able to say goodbye to people before I died. After doing this paper it has made me realize that I have dealt with that all of my life and I am not as afraid of that as I originally thought. So if I had to rewrite anything I would say that although it does scare me I am not afraid of not saying goodbye to people before I pass on.
I have this fear that causes my body to shake. When I think about it, my skin becomes pale and cold. It’s death speeding through my mind. Once I have seen these monstrous roller coasters, the only thing in my mind was fear. Knowing that I’m afraid to go on these rides, I didn’t want to look like a fool in front of my friends. My mind is thinking of deadly thoughts. My palms were sweaty and I was twitching like a fish. I was petrified of heights.
We all have our fears, rather it be flying or driving. However, when a phobia is present the individual has extreme irrational fears that interfere with their quality of life. For example a fear of heights may limit an individuals living or employment choices. If this individual is offered the job of a lifetime, however, the office is located on the twentieth floor; they will refuse the job due to the fear of heights.
My mom woke me the following morning. She had decided to bring me breakfast in bed...
It was no later than we went to bed and it was soon Saturday morning and we were up and ready for the day. My mom and I headed into the small town to see what they had and afterward to the big city. After we
In class, my teacher made me get in a group and put together a survey. On the survey we could ask any questions we wanted to, as long as it pertained to fear. Within the 2 days of passing around the survey and getting people to do the survey we ended up received many results. One specific question that shocked me when I saw the answers was“What was your fear, and why?”. Many people answered this question by saying spiders, snakes, drowning, flying, etc….. When I was reading these,I was expecting a different results more a deeper fear that has affected the way you look at that specific thing in life.
