Personal Narrative: I Don T Care Who You Are

Improved Essays
I don't care who you are, how strong you are, how brave you you are, how tough you are, how famous you are, we all have at one point in our life been afraid of at least one thing and there is not one person in this world that can honestly say ¨I have never feared anything¨. Fear is a natural emotion which happens when we feel that something can overwhelm us or we don't know what to do about a certain situation. I'll never forget my fear of heights that has haunted me for the first decade of my life and continues to haunt millions of people around the world as well as other fears. I remember the day I was attempting to climb up a ladder four years ago and I had no problem getting up to where I wa supposed to go, but when I had to come down it …show more content…
After I got down I sat on my desk to go on my computer when a thought came to me and questioned what I knew and thought. Fear is such a terrible thing that us humans and even animals are stuck with it is a natural emotion and everyone unfortunately has to go through it and no matter who you are you have experienced fear. I knew that fear was holding people back from trying new things, meeting new people, experience the world, and being able to stand out of the crowd. This was a very big moment for me in my life because on that very day I realized that fear stopped me from doing what I wanted, fear stopped me from going on the roller coaster at the amusement park, fear stopped me from trying to make new friends in the park, fear stopped me from trying new things and sitting out while watching in envy everyone else having a grand time while I could not because I was afraid. It was the worst thing ever to suffer from fear …show more content…
Suddenly courage built up inside of me and I went and did it and it turned out to be one of the most exciting things I ever did, I even asked to ride again! After I got of the ride I thought about how fear was about to stop me from doing what is definitely going to go down as one of the coolest experiences I ever had done in my life and how if I had actually had given into my fears of heights I would never be able to experience something such as amazing as what I just had. These thoughts got me wondering about all the billions of people who are missing out of the wonders of the world because they are too afraid to push forth and do it and that made me realize how much of a exciting and fun life people would enjoy if they put aside their fears and did everything they really wanted to but could not because their fear was holding them back. By ignoring the negative impact fear had on my daily life I was able to experience one of the most enjoyable activities that I have ever done and it will most likely stay there for the rest

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

    The hysterical thing about it is that there is no room for forgiveness when it comes to fear or even self-awareness. Fear has shaped me, and turned me into the man I am now; though it is not my decision to clarify what kind of man I am; that is for other people like my peers to decide. But yes, multiple times I have had fears. For example, this past year of our marching band season; at semi-state, everyone in our band feared that we were not going to make it to state. Even though, almost everyone within the program had confidence that we had an awesome show that day.…
