As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange 36 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that 37 me so much. There was never total 38 , but a streetlight or passing car lights 39 clothes hung over a chair take on the 40 of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my 41 , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no 42 . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My 43 would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would 44 very still so that the "enemy" would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, 45 on the way home from school. Every morning I get on the school bus right near my home--that was no 46 . After school, 47 , when all the buses were 48 up along the street, I was afraid that I'd get on the wrong one, and be taken to some 49 neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or museum, I wouldn't 50 the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears 51 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or 52 by others. Being popular was so important to me 53 , and the fear of not being liked was a 54 one.
One of the processes of growing up is being able to 55 and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
