My old fear

Everyone has their own fear, but how to overcome it is not easy thing to do. I will tell you my old common fear and how I faced it. When I was a child, I used to scared of dog. Because I had some bad experience, I was bitten by a big scary dog more than ten years ago. My family went to visit my father's friend house, and we spent night there. My father's friend had a nice house, and he had three dogs at that time. Two of them was a huge dog (for me at that time they were huge), and they always barked and stared at me. It made me feel extremely nervous, so I didn't dare to stay alone with them. However,I went outside the house at night to do some errands for my mom, I was bitten and had a scar on my leg. From that time, whenever I was near any kind of big dog, I felt uneasy and remember the time I was bitten. After few years, my little cousin and I went out together near my grandmother's house. We saw a scary dog, I started running immediately. The dog had his chain, so he couldn't chase me, but I didn't know that. When my cousin felt so tired of running, she asked me: " Can we stop? The dog is far away." After that, she showed me how she cuold walk pass by a dog calmly. I realized even a little girl like my cousin could be fearless, so why I couldn't. From that time, I tried to control my nervous and be calmer whenever I saw a dog. My fear was slowly disappear, so was my scar. Now thinking back about it, I was not just overcome my childish fear, I also knew to how to face problems. Sometime you just need to breath deeply, take a nice walk to calm yourself and try to figure out the problem, you can face your problem. What happend in the past, it will stay in the past. You just need cherish your happiness moments, and forget your hurtful parts. It will be better to overcome your fear step by step than living together with it.
