I have always had a fear of heights because I had the idea that I might fall and die.
Having an older sister has always been a gift to me. People who know her and I say that we are alike and have similar personality characteristics. The more you get to know us the differences between us are hard to see. We are both adventurous but in our own way. She will go and ride the craziest roller coaster while I am siting far away and waiting for the ride to end. Roller coasters were a nightmare, but at the same time I have always been curious of how people feel riding it. My sister didn’t want me to miss out on the fun so she kept insisting for me to ride it with her. I had no choice but jumping on a rapid-fire one. In the image bellow you can see me and my teeth. Maybe all of them but not because I was smiling.


With a continuous positive mindset, I decided to face my fear again on our next adventure. Ziplining was our next destination. When I arrived there I started asking myself, "Can I do it? Am I too heavy for this? Shall I blame it on the donuts I’ve been devouring?" And so on. My friend, who was in the line for the zipline said that she becomes more courageous when she sees people who are afraid of something doing it. It might sound familiar to what most people say, “Look she’s five and she did this… shame on you, you can do it.”
Psychology and communication are very important in our lives. Someone might come and tell you something that will ruin your day and maybe your life as well. Inversely, someone might say the same thing to you but in a different manner, and it will positively impact your outlook on a situation.

Thanks to my friend, I finally did like what Tarzan did, but instead I zip lined through the Atlas Mountains. It was little scary, but I'm glad I did it. I have “no ragrets," and I would recommend anyone to do what I did.


I learned that if you Face your fears, you will be pleasantly surprised. I hope my journey inspires you to try something new and to not be afraid to face your fears. Convince yourself and you’ll be thankful for the pictures later.
