I am just a teenage girl, full of life. But there is something I fear the most,not snakes, not vampires... but water. It’s not about pools or the rain, but simply about *bathing*. Just the thought of stepping into the shower makes my heart pound and my palms sweat. The sound of running water feels like thunder in my ears. Everyone around me tried to help, but no one could truly calm me.34Please respect copyright.PENANAqhAQhWpaB6

Everywhere I went, it became noticeable. Some whispered, and some laughed. I felt ashamed—disgusted with myself. But one day, my class teacher assigned us a health project titled:“How to Overcome Personal Fears.”

Sharing mine was hard. But my teacher gently said, “Sometimes, talking is the first step.” I reluctantly handed over the piece of paper I had written on. Later, she kindly asked if I’d like to meet the school counselor. Nervously, I agreed.

Bit by bit, step by step, with support and patience, I began small...washing my hands, then wiping my face. Slowly, I started taking control of my fear. Eventually, after months of trying, I stood in the shower. My heart raced like crazy... but I did it.

Even though it wasn’t perfect, I realized something: “sometimes, overcoming fear is just the most amazing thing one could ever try.”

Now, every time I hear the splash of water, I remind myself “Courage doesn’t mean you’re not scared. It means you try anyway, no matter the outcome.”
