Obstacles To Overcome My Fears

I suppose that my fear of failing school and the fear of the unknown could go hand-in-hand. I think that I would be unhappy if I ended up being stuck at my current job, living pay check to pay check because I failed school. And although I know how it would make me feel, I do not know what my life would be like. I just can't picture it. I suppose it would be like it is now, but with no potential of getting better. It is unknown to what my day to day would be like if I were to fail out of school.

Yes, one could argue that it is unknown what my life would be like even if I am successful in school and start my career as a nurse. But I know that it will be satisfying and that I will have the opportunities to do more than I am doing now. Being the

empathetic person that I am, I believe that I will make a good nurse. I think that helping other people will help me feel good about myself and make me feel as though I am making a difference in the world. I'm as compassionate for helping other people as I am loyal to other people. I'm a very loyal girlfriend, daughter, sister, and employee. I believe that once I finish school I'll go far in life because of these assets I possess.

I'm trying to be a healthier person both mentally and physically since I'm on my journey to becoming a nurse. I have recently joined the gym, and have been going three days a week. It's not that I didn't exercise before, but I didn't make it a priority. Paying money for a gym memberships motivates me to go and exercise so that I get my moneys worth. This helps me both mentally and physically. To help me stay mentally/emotionally healthy, I journal. Whether it be poetry, made up stories, or just my thoughts from the day, I always write it down. Just as I'm doing now. I find that letting my feelings out through journaling helps me be a less stressed, and a more happy person.

Fear of Battle

Hey, ya'll might think I'm crazy

For the fear that I carry

And if I fail school

Ya'll might think I'm lazy

Now don't call me a baby

For bein' ascared of the dark

In the unseen waters

Could be lurkin' a hungry shark

Thats ready to take a bite

Right out the side of me

But you see,

No, you don't see,

Cause theres nothin' but black

And in the unknown world

It's courage I lack

But the cowardly lion

Gained some guts

And if he can be fearless, maybe

I should grow some nuts
