away from me. I was trembling because I had never done a challenging task like this, but I had to do it. If I kept on moving, the roach will move out of its place, for I wouldn’t be able to kill it on the first try. If I were wearing bright colors, the roach would be attracted to it, and if I kept moving, the bug will get scared. Later on, I was alone in the house and I didn’t want to take my eyes off the roach because if it moved away, I wouldn’t know where it went. I got the nearest thing to kill the roach with, a fly swatter. I knew that I had to try. Trying was my goal because if I didn’t try, I wouldn’t ever be brave enough to kill a roach ever. I got a fly swatter because it was the closest thing to where I was. If the fly swatter wasn’t the closest to where I was, I would’ve gotten a shoe or something like that. I didn’t want to go that far to get another thing to kill it with because I was afraid if the roach would’ve moved somewhere else by the time I come back.
After all, it was hard to stay quiet while doing this activity even though I had to try. I tip-toed neared the roach so that it won’t get scared and crawl away. If I walked with heavy footsteps, the roach will get scared easily and I wouldn’t get to kill it. If I were screaming at the top of my lungs, the roach will crawl away, so I didn’t do that. Also, if I don’t walk appropriately, the roach might know that it is going to get killed and that would prevent me from killing the roach.
All things considered, I had to have lots of courage in order to kill the roach because this task was so difficult, frightening, and gross. I felt so grossed out while killing the roach because the fast crunching sound echoed my ears throughout the day. Now I know that if I ever see a roach, I would get a fly swatter and kill the roach, like a boss. Killing a roach was frightening because I was afraid if the roach crawled on me and I would be screaming wildly. This task will help me so much in the future because now I know that whenever I need to kill a bug, I will have the courage to kill it.
