www.paranormalknowledge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/darkness.jpg&imgrefurI've been scared of the dark since I was two. Darkness has always been my biggest fear; I could only manage to go in the dark with somebody accompanying me. To be left in the dark at sleeping time, or even worse in a room with somebody else who was already asleep, I feel uncomfortable. All I wanted to do is just waking the person up, so then I don't feel all alone. I always try to stay away from darkness such as going up to the third floor in my house at night. If somebody asks me to, I would make the best excuse possible until the he or she decides to ask another person. My mom has always been annoyed by my ridiculous fear. She thinks that a boy at my age should not be afraid of darkness anymore.
It has only been months after my 10th year birthday that I finally encourage myself to go against my fear. It started when my parents left me with my sister Juwita at home. She likes to spend her time in her room. I was alone watching Star World in the living room when suddenly the lights went out. I panicked, shouted my sister’s name and there was no answer. I took a few steps with my instinct but I accidently hit a wooden chair. Then I rushed in to my sister’s room. She was taking a shower. It would be ridiculous if I asked her to come out just because I was too scared. From the shower room, she asked me to go to the third floor and turn the electricity back on.
I felt frightened, but deep inside my heart I know that this fear was not worth it after all. I had more confident to do it as I thought about what my sister would say to everyone if I said to her that I was scared. On the way up, I prayed and tried to believe that there is nothing to be afraid of. I almost cancelled what I was going to do when I think about why am I the one to do all the work when my sister is just waiting in her room, but luckily I see the benefits for me. I needed to face my fear. I have kept this fear for too long. With my courage I brought my self up to the third floor and put the fuse back on! Then I experienced that there was nothing to be frightened of and now I am happy to say that I am not scared of the dark anymore.
Hi Jorghi,
ReplyDeleteI read your post and I thought it was good. But for me, the first sentence was a bit weird. "I've been scared of the dark since 2", my first question was how did you know your scared of the dark when you were 2? Unless your mother told you. But besides that I liked how your writing since it made me feel like I really know what your doing. I was also used to be scared of the dark but that ended quickly. So yeah... Good Job!
I read your sentence and you did an excellent job on this and you worked hard. I like the part when you say you called your sister from the bathroom. I found a bit funny. What you need to work on is fixing a little bit of your grammar. If you made some mistakes,that's ok. That's the way of growing up. Be cool
