Personal Narrative: The Certainty Of Fear

“I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.” Woody Allen said this regarding fear and i completely agree with this quote because no matter how much you face your fears, there will always be something that will frighten you. As a child, my parents would baby me and i never felt any harm until they decided that i was growing up the wrong way and that if they continued to raise me the way they were, i would grow up to be a spoiled kid with no life experiences. So they immediately changed her actions toward me. They stopped babying me, taught me that i can't always get what i want when i want it, and overall helped me get over all my fears because like Audra Kendall in “The Certainty of Fear”, I had my own set of Childhood fears.
This was a huge problem because my parents thought i was going to be like that when i grew up and with the ways i was i wouldn't doubt it if that was a possibility. So my parents plan of action was to always be an hour late to pick me up from school which would make me freak out because i felt like i needed to be home. The first week where my parents did this i would have a panic attack everyday and i would annoy the office representatives everyday, they pretty much hated me. After the first week I pretty much got over it and i started talking to other people that parents were late for, i started becoming more laid back like them. After hanging out with them for a while, my parents noticed the significant change and they were proud of me because i finally relieved my panic
