Is there ever been something you were scared of doing? Well there are people who have fear in trying new skills. I am giving a speech with others in a program called "Brave In The Attempt." Thirteen of us are giving a speech about something that they had to learn in their lives. My topic is transportation. I will be talking about how I learned to go places on my own and the steps to get to that point.
At this time, I am relearning my transportation skill because of a fear of traveling on my own. I had gotten sick walking down the same street that I walked many times. I have also gotten sick on this street previously. This third time cause me to be shaky and hot. I was taken to the emergency room to stay over night. They found out that I was dehydrated. I was told to see my internist and a cardiologist. After going to see my internist, I want to attempt to walk the street again to fight my fear. That was a bad idea. I ended up panicking on the same street. That was a bad mistake. I ended up walking back and crossing the street and it made me scared about cars. Since then, I didn't want to travel the bus route. I was scared of getting hurt. Any time some one wanted to help me, I couldn't do it. Once my confidence started to came back, I asked my therapist to help me. I was able to get across the street. I"m now going to try to go to the CVS. Hopefully this will be the last of my fears. I will tell you later how it went after I take the next step.

My special gift is my music. I like to perform my music. Through my music, I also like to perform with a band called "Profusion" where I live. We perform throughout the year,except during the summer and the holidays,
I enjoy performing because it always give me away of expressing myself. What keeps me going is hearing that others love my performance even when I doubt myself. Music has given me a way of letting out my emotions when I didn't have any one to talk too. I also love dressing up to perform as well. If there is something that you love, go ahead and do it. Playing and performing my music has brought some peace into my life. |
