What Are You Afraid Of?

Tom becomes afraid of heights. Dr. Kennedy is afraid of snakes. What are you afraid of? Do you know why? Have fun with this question--explain your fear (or fears). (Use your student ID to get credit).

    I'm afraid of frogs and toads since I was little.
    I hate those animals. They always scared me, maybe because they are too ugly. I remember one midnight I felt something cold in my face. That wakes me up immediately; I screamed to me cousin than we turned the light on and it was big, an ugly toad that was in my bed.

      I am afraid of owl that came out of her nest at darkness of the night. Because when I was a little boy about 8 years old, one of those owls pulled my hair. In another opportunity I was just 14 years old I was coming to my house around 1:00AM. On that morning, there was one owl who was crossing my way back and forth, back and forth, so I was so scared that I badly counted the hours that I spent on my way home.

    What I am afraid of is a car accident. One night I was heading home from work in D.C. when I got on i66 west, and I saw a black SUV changing lanes without any signal. I thought he taking the exit, so I drove behind him 3 yards away to his left lane. Suddenly he turned on to my lane, and I had to brake so hard that it made a mark on the road. Next thing I knew the SUV crashed into the jersey wall. Front of the SUV damage was so bad that they had to tow it. Police found the guy intoxicated and took him to jail.

  3. I believe that every person has some fears.I'm like a Tom Benecke,afraid of heights. According to the story the "Contents of the dead man's pocket", the main character goes out of the apartment throw the window,eleven stairs up.As for me I couldn't do that.The reason why I'm afraid of heights it's because when I was little I felt down from the stairs.Since that time I'm so scary to look down from bridges,stairs,window,balcony,skyscrapers.

  4. I am afraid of snakes and rats because they are dangerous. Also I am afraid of mistakes in my studies and not learning faster, but every body is born with fear of something. I have learned that with fear the persons can live in this life. Living with fear of something it makes you stronger than before. Fear is something that we can control, and it's powerful to make better persons .992151

  6. Fears!!! I don't know if this will be a fear, but I have an experience. While in the hospital 7 years ago, I was afraid that the nurses make a mistake, and they changed my son at birth with other babies, so I told my boyfriend to close the doors and not to let them take the baby away from the room. He closed the doors but I wasn't sure, so I told the doctor don't hurt my baby and I wanted to see everything that He was doing!, So the Doctor brought a mirror, and he putted the mirror in front of me. Now, I was calm, and distressful. Finally, my baby was born healthy,cute, and safe with me.
