I also used to feel that way about a lot of things, however one day, when I was younger, I had an experience that helped me realize that if you take the initiative and give it your all, and along with some help from a friend, you can in fact overcome your fears no matter how daunting or difficult the task may seem.

My friends and I enjoyed it very much because we could play on it whenever we wanted and not have to have our parents take us to a park in town or have to be there with us and watch us.…
