When I was a child, I was afraid of lightning. I remember that in a rainy summer day in the land of the sun, Mexico, to me it seemed like the end of the world. The whole sky turned dark gray and no sun light could go trough. At first, I started hearing weird noises coming from the sky, it sounded like if someone was closing a huge big door in the sky. After a little while the noises became louder and louder, and I ran to hide under my bed. Trough the window I could see the illumination of the lightning similar to a house light, where the light appears and disappear in just seconds. The horrifying moment came after the luminous show, when the strong sound from the sky came after the appearance of thee light. I didn't want to get out of under my bed, I felt safe there.

Snake

When I was a child I was afraid of snakes. One hot summer day in Napa valley 2005, my family and friends were having b day party. My cousin use to love animals and his special animal was the snake. The house where we were was really big, had a pool, tennis court, a big patio, and 5 rooms. My cousin use to live his snake in his room but that day. The snake wasn’t at his room my I was really scare because I don’t like snakes at all. We were at the pool when saw the snake around the pool I started screaming because I thought it was going to beat me. My whole family and friends were eating drinking. The snake is the worst animal you can have as a pet.!

WhEn I wAs A cHiLd..

When I was a child I was afraid of many things but especially dogs.
Till this day I still have that fear. It all started my first day of school 1st grade walking to the school bus stop with my mom and my little brother in her arms. As we walked around the corner house there stood a dog with the biggest teeth I had ever seen looking right at us ready just jump and chase after us. Next thing u know the dog got out of the fence and charged towards us. I remember my mom telling me to stay still but my first reaction was to run away. As I saw the dogs going towards my mom and brother I ran and I all I could see was the dog trying to get my little brother and it did it got his pamper and my mom reacted by throwing her hot café at him. The dog got really upset and when at me and he was able to bite my leg as I screamed my mom came running and the owner came out with a bat in his hands running towards his dog and got him off of me. With that accident I never got to show up to my first day of school because I was rushed to the emergency room and ever since that day I’m terrified of big dogs.

When I was a child...

When I was a child I was afraid of The Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. Every time we would go I would have nightmares afterward. The ride was slow and dark, full of water and felt like I would not have a way to escape if one of the pirates would come alive and attack me. Even when I would close my eyes to sleep, I would imagine as if the pirates would chase me round and round. When I went on that ride, I would hold on really tight to my parents, to make sure they won't leave me behind. I don’t know why I was so scared, I would look around and everyone next to me is enjoying the ride while I am scared out of my mind.

Meghan McLeod: Afraid of Scream

When I was a child I was afraid of the movie Scream. After I saw the movie I was afraid of the dark. If I wanted to get something from the kitchen at night I was scared that he would come and get me. So, I carried a big blue flash whenever I went into the kitchen. I would have to turn on all the lights and make sure he was not outside to get me. I walked backwards from room to room turning off lights as I went so Scream could not sneak up and get me. I always made sure I had the big blue flashlight so I could defend myself.
