Heather Lynn Can you face your fears?
A story that we were told about professor redick was a time when he was walking through the woods and came across a bobcat on the trail that was sitting on toop of a rock. The bobcat was startled but Redicks present and began to run off into the wood. Redick decided to run after the bobcat as if it were his prey because that is what bobcats would normally do to you but instead he was chasing the bob cat. It made me think of all the things i am scared of in my life and would i be able to chase somthing like a bobcat who could rip me apart or would i run in the other direction to make sure he wouldn't eat me. How many other people would run after the bobcat? It doenst have to be a bobcat of course because you dont come across them often but it could be anything that you are scared of; spiders, snakes, dogs, etc. would you get close to them to pet them even though you know they could bite you maybe at anytime or would you walk away from them and continue to live in fear your whole life. Facing your fear i think is a could thing even if you do it small steps. You could live your life knowing you had accomplished something you thought to be impossible.
