Growing up, I always considered myself and everyone around me invincible, like nothing bad ever happened to anyone, I was wrong. You see, when something bad happens your mind races with a variety of different emotions. You feel disbelief, panicked, and then you have to wait, which makes you overwhelmingly anxious. The first time I felt these emotions, was when I was sixteen, it was also the first time I realized that everyone around me that I loved wasn’t invincible. At first it didn’t seem…

ineptitude. This got me thinking about the nature of fear and failure as it pertains to all things not just scholastic . The fear of being not good enough sometimes shatters and delays us and as emotional creature. The fear and acceptance of the fear and anxiety are paramount for success in all things not just school or the activities that align themselves with hallowed halls and corridors laced with lockers and the pitter patter of shoes. The nature of the fear of failure does not limit itself…

stretching lakes across the Bonney Pass in the Teton Mountains. I suddenly knew that this wonderful place had transformed me into a better person and a more confident woman. It took some courage to get to that place. Many months before, I had some fear and reluctance when submitting a lengthy application for a counsellor job at the Teton Valley Ranch Camp in Dubois, Wyoming. My stomach had that sinking feeling that I would be leaving my comfortable, close-knit home to work at a ranch camp…

Lloyd Owusu Professor Macfie November 9, 2017 Rus 313-01 Dr. Zhivago Literary Work and Film Comparison The juxtaposition of literature and film has forever haunted the entertainment industry. There is nothing that can replace delving into a novel and getting lost for hours, or rather going to a theatre and watching the pictures unfold on a screen. With a book, the picture in one’s imagination is entirely subject to what the author pens on the pages but with a movie, the story is portrayed…

Naturally, us humans can become scared. Fear can’t just be limited to traditional “spooky” things like spiders, as things like large crowds, adulthood, school and mental concepts terrify people. The most terrifying thing I’ve experienced, with my subjective fears in mind, was my all-too-sudden move from California to Michigan in late 2016. The song “Fragments” by An Unkindness, which I recently discovered, presents the fear I had with social perfection, rejection, and loss of relationships.…

Fear Of Change Change can be a scary thing. Sometimes it is for the best, other times, not so much.

Overall, I think that this class taught me a lot in regards to myself and others. Learning why people do things and why it’s important to be mindful and nonjudgmental was one of the highlights of this class. Out of all the topics covered over the semester, there is one that really stands out. The topic about anxiety disorders felt like one that most people can…

“Fear is only as deep as the mind allows it.” These words of wisdom were written as a Japanese Proverb. This quote is trying to explain that the fears someone has can only be as scary as that someone allows them to be. If people allow fear to enter their thoughts, it can make them make choices that they would not do if fear was not inside them. This theory is exemplified in The Crucible by Arthur Miller.
