=** The day I faced my Fear **= By Emilee Hutchens

"Hey Emmy would you like to go to Kattlemen with me?"

"Sure", I said in replay to my sister Brittany. I said yes but really my heart said no. It was a just right day outside. It was sunny, warm, no clouds in the baby blue sky. But I was scared of something. It’s not that big. But still I was scared. It's Blue gooey and there's cold water rushing down it and when we got there, there were a lot of people who could watch if I fell on my face.

I was scared of going down the water slide.

The anticipation rose as the line in front of me got smaller and smaller. Jealousy of the people that weren't scared of going down the blue slide just made me more scared and wanting to go already. When it was time for me to go down the freezing water rushed against my feet, the puresher of the cold air pushed against my legs. When the life guard said to go I went. The rush of cold air pushed against my face. I didn't want to go to land in the water because I was afraid of falling on my face. I did not want to go down, but let alone be in this tunnel. But I am. The water sides cold, cold water. I screamed all the way down the slide the life guards laughed at me the laughter banned around in my head. ha-ha, and then it happened.

I saw the end of the slide, and I fell out of the tunnel not falling on my face. Every thing was fine I was OK I had done it! I went down the slide! I pushed my self of the gooey ground of the pool. And swam to the latter and did it again and again till it was time to go home

I learned that sometimes it's alright to face your fears and I did at that pool on that day at kattelmen pool.
