Cleaning up for university, selling assets, taking bribes, establishing connections, handling assets, you know, busy busy day for me. So I clean up, and I found this thingy all the way back from grade 7, when I was 12. Note this is word for word and I'm not correcting any grammar or adjusting my weaksauce analogies. So let's begin:

"Fear is usually described as being afraid of something. However, I think fear has more than that and is different for everyone. Everyone has different fears and I think that some are picked up through personal experiences. You fear something probably if you find it repulsive, frightening, or dangerous. People also fear for others, like a child or friend.

You might conquer a fear with knowledge. If you think you will die of an animal, then find out its totally harmless, that pretty much takes care of it. It could also work backwards, like if you found out your favorite food had 6 grams of toxins per 12 grams, you would probably never touch it again. I know nothing about diabetes, but someone else could be trying to run from it like terrorists were chasing him or something.

Another way to conquer fears is to face it. This is probably the best way. Once you face it you're pretty much successful. It takes courage to do this and you might endanger yourself doing it.

The third way is to live with it. Once you embrace your fear it becomes a fact. However, there is a serious flaw. If you feared being stupid, you can't just accept that. Also, with diseases, you can't just embrace it. You have to face it and take action. However, this way could work. If you feared your nationality, you have to accept it and ignore others therefore creating national pride and self-respect.

There are outside influences, but ultimately, the person creates the fear, and therefore, the person conquers it. There are a lot of influences that allows the person to create fear. War, for example, will strongly influence people to panic. I say influence because people can choose not to panic and leaders should have these qualities. Discrimination can also really hurt a person sometimes as bad as bombs and bullets, but, in the end, the person can choose not to fear, and has no reason to fear with national pride.

Fear wouldn't have all bad qualities. If you fear for another person, it will encourage you to act. When something you value is attacked, thsi forces you to act. When a relative dies, it could change your life, but sometimes for the better. It reminds you that you should take action."
