Assignment 10- Kristin

My biggest fear is the unknown.  This can be both physical and intangible things. 

I am scared of things that I can't see, hiding in the dark or in the grass or under a bush (especially snakes).  If I can't see it, I don't know it's there, and if I don't know what's there, anything could be there.  Ever since I was a child, I've had an active imagination, so you can see why this would be a problem for me (I was scared of everything).

I am scared of events I'm not prepared for.  Anything can happen, so once again, you can imagine all the possibilities I can think up.  I always come up with the worst possible scenario, and this often frightens me out of trying things I want to do.

I'm scared of the unknown future.  High school is planned, with a clear cut path for me to follow.  Everything after that is a mystery, and it terrifies me to know what could come up in my life.  This unfortunately forces me to avoid any planning of my future so I can pretend it's not going to happen.

The unknown lurks behind me at every turn, and I need to learn to face it head-on.
