Overcoming Fear

During last summer, I went to a new swimming pool that I had never been to before. Well at this new pool there is a very steep red slide. When I looked at the slide it was very intimidating at first, but then I challenged myself to swallow my fear and just go down the slide. Once I started going up the stairs I got more and more scared and intimidated. When I finally reached the top and looked down the slide I was at my peak of being afraid, but that wasn't even a factor because I told myself that I was going to go down it so that's what I was going to do. Finally it was my turn to go down the slide, I took a deep breath closed my eyes and went down the slide. It was very much like riding a roller coaster, but in the end it was very fun and i'm glad that I did it. After I accomplished that I began to challenge my cousin's and sister to go down it too!
