we all want to be brave to be courageous
and to live without fear but most of us
don’t know how to or don’t know the
steps to take to overcome these fears
all of our fears are different and make
us who we are so one way you could
overcome this fear is by finding people
to help you since no one will have the
same fears as you do they can help you
overcome your fear and maybe you can
help them overcome theirs I have two
major fears in my life and a bunch of
ones that don’t really matter as much
the two major fears that I have is the
fear of heights and the fear of
embarrassment let’s talk about Heights
so one day I went to Six Flags and my
parents forced me to go on the oil
derrick observation tower I later
realize that it’s 300 feet tall that’s
like 50 of me really tall I still went
on it for some reason
and then it was nighttime windy and the
wind made the building sway I never went
to look over the railing I was right
beside the elevator the whole time
clenching to the rail and if things
couldn’t get any worse there’s a little
kid right here jumping on the thing
making it shake it was the longest ten
minutes of my life and when I finally
made it back on the ground I felt like a
plane just landed and I’m leaving the
airport as you could probably tell I
have not completely overcome this fear
but I have come up with some ways to
lessen it I’ve not come up with all the
way so other people in my life have
helped me have given me tips to overcome
it so first I learned that fear is an
illusion it’s a trick that it plays on
our mind to make it our reality so the
thing that I do is first I look around I
look around and see why people are why
other people aren’t scared and why I am
next I try to calm myself and pretend
you’re on a plane and the turbulence
trying to calm yourself might be very
hard
and usually what I do I just think about
statistics know a plane’s not gonna
crash you’ll be there it’s fine in two
hours
you’ll leave the airport and then you
can go and get a Starbucks you’ll be
fine trust me and then finally you need
to distract yourself usually on the
airplane I get out my phone listen to
music probably play a lot of games that
sadly there’s no internet on an airplane
though and my second fear is the fear of
embarrassment so I play cross-country at
my school don’t get me wrong I’m not
good at cross-country I just play it
because I’m half – anyway I play
cross-country and one day the coaches
made us do box relays and we were
confused – a box realized we thought we
had to like run in a shape of a box and
everyone seemed to and then the other
guy the other coach brought out a
cardboard box and said you’re gonna be
running around the field in a cardboard
box everyone seemed to love the idea me
on the other hand though I was terrified
for the other people who were gonna
watch me run in a box like try to
imagine me in a box running and you’re
gonna be watching no no no don’t imagine
it let me show you okay so I look pretty
ridiculous don’t I no no no you try to
imagine yourself where I am and I’m
gonna be laughing at you that’s how I
felt it was the war it was one of the
worst feelings I ever had but you can’t
say I’m sorry I just got sick and leave
practice I still had to run and I
thought about I had to look around I
looked her I looked around at other
people and said why do they like running
in a box and I don’t then I thought
about you know I had to calm myself and
usually I was like it’s a Friday there’s
going to be a bunch of homework by
Monday they’ll all forget about it
it’ll be fine and then finally I just
thought about beating them person in
front of me
and somehow our team got second place a
teacher of mine told me that fear is
false evidence appearing real
and after I thought about this acronym
for a while it made sense a building’s
not gonna fall over or a planes not
gonna crash it’s just my fear
controlling my mind and becoming my
reality so the steps I take to overcome
my fear and I hope these steps will help
you is by looking around at other people
and try and asking yourself why they
aren’t afraid and you are calm yourself
so you won’t be overwhelmed by your fear
and distracting yourself so your fear
won’t take control of you and after all
of this I want you to try to constantly
push yourself to overcome your fear you
might not completely overcome it but I
want you to try to lessen it thank you [Applause]
