Question

   One day when I was younger,a dog chased (追赶) me down the street and bit me. Ever since that day,I have feared and hated dogs. If a dog was close to me,I would move away as fast as possible,or go to the other side of the street because I was afraid.

   But,recently,my sister bought a puppy (小狗) called Cathy,and I was forced to live with a dog in my house. My sister told me to pet the dog. It is small,and it looks nice and lovely so I wasn’t that scared,and I did it. The puppy did not attack me. That was when I realized I really liked this puppy!

   I started to take care of the puppy,feeding it,taking it out on walks,and taking it to the veterinarian (兽医) for check-ups. Slowly I started to fall in love. Now,I love it so much,and I would do anything for it.

   My friends are still surprised that I am no longer afraid of dogs. It was a long process,but I did it. I set my mind to stop being afraid. I face my fear,accept the challenge and I overcome it. You can too!Is there anything you are afraid of? You have the power to conquer it!Think about it and see if you can come up with a way to face your fear. Take a chance!It could change your life.
