Personal Narrative: How To Slay Your Dragon

Improved Essays
Did you slay your dragon?
I was able to overcome the dragon that used to get me worried and nervous for a test. The dragon did not allow me to accomplish getting a good grade on an exam. The dragon was restraining me from being able to be confident and not stress over a test. I used to get worried that I would not do well on the tests, before I would get the test, I would get worried that I would forget important facts or that I did not study enough or what I was supposed to study in the first place to be prepared for the test. Now that I have beat the dragon it does not worry me that i will not do good on a test.
