"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.
