"Post #1- 5th Six Weeks"

One time when I had to prove myself was when I went to summer camp. At my summer camp there was this river that we would swim in. There was also a cliff above the the river that people could jump off in to the river but I was to scared to do it at first. The reason I was scared is at the time was that  I didn't know how to swim or tread water. One of the counselors at the camp decided to teach me how to swim so that I wouldn't be scared of the cliff and would build up the courage to jump off of it. The reason I wanted to jump of the cliff was to overcome my fear of heights and also to prove to myself that I was braver than I thought. After 2 days of teaching me how to swim my counselor told that I was ready to jump off the cliff the first time my counselor came with me to help me jump cause I wasn't quite brave enough to jump off by myself. After jumping off for the first time it felt really thrilling and decided that I could jump off the cliff all by myself and that's exactly what I did. When I got back to the top I jumped and at that moment I had proven to myself that I wasn't scared of height's anymore and felt really proud of myself. After that moment every time I was really high I would go back to the moment I jumped off that cliff and my fear go away and I would calm down.

Decision based on emotion's

When I was 10 years old my sister accidentally broke one of my games and I was so mad at her. I knew that she didn't mean it but I was still really angry at her and ended up punching her in the arm. If there is one thing you don't do when your dad is home is hit your little sister really hard. After that day I decided to stop getting mad at my sister when she did stupid things instead I'd tell my parents on her and they would take care of it. Then there was that one day when she broke my favorite game ever while I was playing it and I just went of on her even though I knew better lucky for me my dad was out that day. I promised my mom though that I would never hit my little sister ever again...
