Taking+Responsible+Risks

I have always been scared of fire. In our of labs we had to burn a substance with a bunsen burner. When the bunsen burner was first turned on, Amie was almost burned. I was completely frightened by the sight of this. But, I thought to myself that I was in a group and had to collaborate regardless if I was scared or not.

Because I pushed myself to not be afraid of the huge flame I was able to collaborate and learn about this substance that we burned. Taking this risk was a step out of my comfort zone. If I had not gotten over my fear of fire, then I probably wouldn't have experienced the same learning process as I did when I ignored my fear.

Of course fire is very dangerous, but it is very important for me to not be afraid of a lot of things. In order to succeed, it is important for me to overcome my fears. By overcoming my fears, I will step outside of my comfort zone and do something spontaneous and will be even more brave to try something else that is even further outside of my comfort zone.
