3 Stories of Failure and How I Overcome It

Fear of height

Since I was a kid I have this so called fear of height. I don’t know when or how did it
started. I was in Grade 8 when I joined the Global Competence Class also known as GCC. The
first country that we visited was Singapore. When we are inside the USS or Universal Studios
I’m amaze how breathtaking that place is. I saw one ride and that is the Galactica or the roller
coaster. I’m amaze how it works plus I heard many people say that you should ride that roller
coaster or else you will regret it for the rest of your life. We all agreed on riding that roller
coaster. Because of my curiosity I forgot that i can't stand heights. When we are in the line I’m
excited and a little bit scared. Before we ride that roller coaster I ask God to give me enough
strength. For me to overcome that kind of fear. We ride the roller coaster and luckily i survived
that deadly ride. It was one of the best decisions that i made for myself.

Fear of being alone

Since I was a kid I was raised by my grandparents and I have this so called fear of
being left out again. Maybe it’s because of my history wherein my mom left us to word abroad
or when my dad chooses to stay in a far place away from us. Whenever I meet my classmates
I’m afraid that someday they will all leave me but as time goes by I have learn that People
come and go they are either a blessing or a lesson for us. I failed on overcoming that fear when
I was in elementary school maybe because I’m too young to understand things. When I enter
junior high school I meet my friends who shows me that how to be loved and how to be cared
of. They help me to overcome my fear. They supported me and cheer me as I walk in that
phase of my life where all I think is how irreplaceable I am. I may failed in overcoming that fear
years ago but no I’m still in the process of overcoming it by the help of those people who love
and support me plus I have God by my side ready to pick me up.

Salutatorian

When I was in grade 6 i want my parents to be proud of me so i study harder than the
past years but i failed them. I got the second spot in our class rank. I failed in achieving one if
my goals. Thankfully my best friend Rodalyn is there to cheer me up. She knows about my goal
and she enlightened me that I should be happy and thankful because many people desire to
have that spot. I still remembered her words that time she says "many people failed because
they desire to have more". From that I learn that no matter what happens I should be thankful
to the blessings that God gave me. She enlightened me and helps me from that downfall
