    The document describes the experience of a student overcoming their fear of flying alone. They had an early morning flight from Columbus, Ohio to Raleigh, North Carolina. Their mother helped them get through security but then they had to navigate the airport alone until reaching their gate. They grew increasingly nervous as boarding time approached. During takeoff, their fear peaked with a racing heart and sweaty palms. However, their nerves settled during the flight. Upon landing, they realized flying was not as scary as they imagined and were happy to have faced their fear. Overcoming fears, while scary, allows one to feel empowered once accomplished.

    Overcoming A Fear

    Have you ever overcome one of your biggest fears? Well, today I was about to

    overcome mine. It was 6:00 a.m. and I had an hour drive ahead of me. The whole way

    to the destination my heart was racing and I was wanting to back out. My mom was in

    the car with me helping to calm my nerves down which wasn’t helping much. It was

    starting to become light outside as we got closer to the airport. Upon our arrival I knew it

    was time for me to face one of my biggest fears, flying on an airplane by myself.

    My flight was boarding at 8:00 a.m. from Columbus, Ohio to Raleigh, North

    Carolina, which meant I had an hour to get through the airport and to my gate. My mom

    agreed to help me all the way up to security so she helped me check in my luggage and

    we eventually reached security. I placed all my items in a bin and I went through the

    metal detector. I passed through security and told my mom my goodbyes. Now, it was

    time for me to get to my gate by myself. I passed lots of novelty shops and restaurants

    before finally making it there.

    When I get to my gate I have about twenty minutes before my plane boards. I

    made sure my phone was charged and that I had some food and water. At this time, my

    nerves really started to kick in. I texted my mom letting her know I made it to my gate
    and that I was about to board. The flight attendant spoke over the intercom and said,”

    We will be boarding in ten minutes.“

    We were called to board in groups of ten to fifteen people so it took awhile for

    everyone to finally get on the plane. Finally, everyone makes their way onto the plane

    and the flight attendants go through their procedure of letting the passengers know

    where the exits are and what to do in case of an emergency. My blood was rushing

    through my body, my palms were sweaty, and my heart was pumping out of my chest, I

    knew it was time and that this was finally happening, reality had sunk in. Everyone had

    buckled their seatbelts and it was time for takeoff. I was officially flying on an airplane by

    myself.

    We eventually took off and my nerves settled. I realized it was not as scary as I

    thought it was going to be and that it was actually very enjoyable. The flight attendant

    speaks over the intercom and says, “ We have officially made it to Raleigh, North

    Carolina and we will be landing very soon.“ I was so happy that I got to have this

    experience and that I made it there with no problems. Overcoming your fears can be

    very scary but once you do it, you’ll feel invincible.
