Deep Water

Imagine what it would be like to almost drowned. The fear of drowning happens to a lot people that are just learning to swim. Also lots of different things or events happen to different people that change their life forever. In the story "Deep Water" by William O. Douglas William and I have had a tragic thing happen to us and we both are trying to get rid of the fear.

William had to get over his fear of drowning. If I were him and I experienced what William did with almost drowning. William almost drowned on his first day of learning to swim. Know showed up, but when someone did it was trouble the person the showed up was a big horrifying bully that throw William in the deep end. William had know clue on how to swim. He had almost drown 3 times. Just reading the story my lungs hurt trying to be able to not let water in. This would deeply scare me. After being almost drowned by the bully the bully saved him. After that William deiced not to go swimming but he figured out that that did not work. So he learned to swim. Although that would be horrible to live with I had a bad experience of my own with a car.

Although William had a struggle of the water I do have a fear of cars. This fear al started when my family and I were on our way to Florida. We stopped for the night at a hotel. But we needed food so my dad and I went to get food there were so many options to pick from. But deiced on KFC. So we were on our way back to the hotel almost there and a car hit us. I crashed forward and so did my dad. I hit my head really hard on the seat in front of me. My dad's legs got all cut up and he dislocated a bone in his neck. That night was one of the scariest nights if my life. After that horrible night we had to find a car because our car got towed. That took a really long time. After we found a car we were on our way to Florida but not the way I would have wished. When we finally got to the condo place. I was so excided. My dad didn’t walk the same and we all we really to relax but this was not going to happen the same because of what happened. Not I am so scared that that will happen again to me. So when I get into a car I try not to look at the road because if that happens to me again. I don’t think I will ever be able to get over it. But bit by bit I am trying to get rid of my fear of cars and the road.

Whether it is a fear of water or roads it does not mater you just have to work hard to over come your fears. If you do not over come your fears you will have to deal with them for the rest of your life. So which one would you rather do get rid of your fears or let them control you for the rest of your life?
