\u201cSo, why have you came here?\u201d The Therapist asked me.
\n\u201cWell you see I have this fear I had when I was little.\u201d I answered.
\n\u201cWhen did you have this fear of yours?\u201d The Therapist asked me.
\n\u201cI… don\u2019t know.\u201d I answered her. \u201cWell it can\u2019t be nothing!\u201d She told me. \u201cIf you can\u2019t answer that, then what WAS your fear?\u201d She asked again. \u201cIt\u2019s about my Imaginary friend I made as a kid..\u201d I answered.
\n\u201cShe scares me..\u201d I continued.<\/p>\n

{Tomorrow, Friday, September 24, 2001}<\/p>\n

\u201cWell hi, my name is Amira Ann. I am a 15 year old girl, that haven\u2019t overcome her fear yet. I had a friend, an Imaginary one when I was a kid. Somehow she became real. She keeps scaring me when I was 9, I was terrified. I became pale and skinny, it\u2019s because of her.\u201d<\/p>\n

*Falls Down*<\/p>\n

\u201cOw, my knee!\u201d I said, \u201cAre you okay Amira?\u201d My friend asked me. \u201cYes I am\u201d I replied. \u201cHey, your mom said to drink this every morning.\u201d My friend told me. I took the pills, and drank it, since it\u2019s 8:00 am. I felt dizzy, but then… I finally saw her my fear. She was all bloody and dark, NOT like before. She\u2019s not like this, no..<\/p>\n

Then I fainted, for 3 days I was asleep.<\/p>\n

{3 Days after she fainted, Tuesday, September 28, 2001}<\/p>\n

I woke up in a hospital, with my mom crying. \u201cM-mom? Why are you cry-\u201c I got interrupted by my mom. \u201cAmira! I\u2019m so worried about you!\u201d My mother exclaimed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhat happened to you? What did you do?\u201d My mother asked. \u201cI drank your pills then I fainted…\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

{The next day, Wednesday, September 29, 2001}<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t imagine of what just happened, it\u2019s time to face my fear. Once and for all!<\/p>\n

So I went to the living room, and asked my mother. \u201cMother may I go to my Therapist?\u201d. \u201cWhy so?\u201d She asked, \u201cIt\u2019s because I have an appointment with her.\u201d I said. \u201cOk, but come home BEFORE 6:00\u201d Mother concluded. So I set off and went to my Therapist. But before I went to my Therapist, I thought stop by Mcdolnalds and buy something to eat. But then something hooked my attention, meanwhile I said to myself \u201cDon\u2019t go and unless it\u2019s done.\u201d I said and concluded. So I walked forward to my Therapist and get an appointment. I reached my Therapist\u2019s place, so I walked in and asked her assistant if I could go and have an appointment with her.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah sure, but you have to wait 30 minutes before you can go in.\u201d The assistant told me. \u201cBut why?\u201d I asked. \u201cMs. Smith, your Therapist has an appointment with someone already, so I\u2019m afraid you have to wait miss.\u201d Her assistant told me. So I sat and wait.<\/p>\n

{30 minutes later on.}<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Ann? Ms. Smith is ready to have an appointment with you!\u201d Her assistant said. So I walked to Ms. Smith\u2019s office. \u201cHello Amira it\u2019s good to see you again.\u201d She greeted. \u201cYes it is ma\u2019am!\u201d I said. \u201cLay down, Amira.\u201d She said. \u201cOk\u201d I answered.<\/p>\n

*Lays Down* \u201cOkay now, still having trouble?\u201d She asked. \u201cYes, but I\u2019m ready to confront it!\u201d I said Cheerfully. She wrote me something, and I wonder what is it. She handed it to me and said \u201cHere you need all of these to confront it good luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHuh? What are these?\u201d I asked. \u201cThose are the stuff you need to defeat your fear. You will also create a Portal to an another dimension.\u201d She answered me back. I looked at it and said \u201cHold up, how do I get\u201d I got interrupted somehow. Ms. Smith pushed me outside and said quickly \u201cOk now bye!!\u201d She shut the door behind me, and flipped the sign onto closed. \u201cWell that was weird.\u201d I said while rubbing my head. I saw on the paper and it says \u201c Overcome it with courage and strength. Always<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

believe in yourself. You have the three elements inside you. The HEART, SOUL, AND MIND.\u201d I started to ask myself, \u201cWhat in the world is happening right now?\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked back and saw a person DYING. The little girl kept screaming in pain, crying \u201cPLEASE! HAVE MERCY! MY FATHER NEEDS TO LIVE!\u201d. But instead, something else happened. *BANG* —-SILENCE—-<\/p>\n

The Little girl started crying for her father, \u201cW-why d-does this world show so much cruelty?\u201d<\/p>\n

I admit it the little girl IS right…. After I went home. {Thursday, September 30, 2001.}<\/p>\n

Now is the day I WILL find myself the things I need for tomorrow. The whole day, this day I need to find those things, for me to overcome my greatest fear…<\/p>\n

{After asking her mother to go out and explore}<\/p>\n

\u201cWell it\u2019s now or never. Is it?\u201d I said to myself. Walking to the bus stop to explore and to find it. I went to Los Angeles and Florida. Then by a helicopter I went to Australia, Vietnam, South Korea, and lastly the Philippines. I went back home by 9:30 pm.<\/p>\n

{Friday, October 1, 2001}
\nNow is the time to face my fear, my imaginary friend…<\/p>\n

I closed my eyes and counted 1..2..3, once I opened my eyes she was there. \u201cWell, well, well~ LOOK what I have here!\u201d She said in an UNFAMILIAR voice.<\/p>\n

I stared at her and said \u201cWell long time no see, eh? Well your going DOWN until I take you DOWN!\u201d She looked me in the eyes fiercely, \u201cWell I guess your not scared anymore, OF ME! You think you\u2019ll win easily, HUH? Or maybe… NOT!\u201d she said fiercely. I had the 3 elements with me the HEART, SOUL, AND MIND. These are building my courage and strength up. I will finally beat her.. MY FEAR!<\/p>\n

The Light Shone within me, The light. It beamed out of me. And helped me defeat the fear, MY fear. \u201cMy fear, I will not let it take over me! I Amira Ann, have the will to have the courage and strength to have the light in me.\u201d I cried. My fear is finally GONE. This is Amira Ann and this is my story about facing my FEAR.<\/p>\n

And never let your fear take over you, because you\u2019ll never know what will happen next.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
