I Could Tackle My Hyper Phobia for the First Time

            I had a memorable experience of my life. It happened when I was in 1^st grade of senior high school. I had a phobia of standing in high place (hyper phobia). I didn’t know the reason of my fear, I just confused and wanted to fall down if I stood in high place. I tried to face several times, but it was hard for me. That condition happened before I joined the scout club in my school. The scout’s experience led me to tackle my fear of standing in high place (hyper phobia) for the first time.

            When I stood on the table to clean the window, I remembered about my fear that made me always afraid to stand in high place. Suddenly, I felt some cold sweat in my face, breathless, and frighten there. Nana saw my foot was trembling and tried to help me out from that situation. She took me to the chair near the class.  Then, I told her about my fear and she listened seriously. She told me to join the scout club because she believed that the scout club has many activities which make me become an active and a brave person. I never imagine it before, but I thought it was the best idea. So, I decided to join and became a member of the scout club.

            Every six months, the scout club held a camping for three days in Abiansemal. At first, I felt afraid of the activities in the camp because I knew from the senior that we would play some challenging games. One idea came out from my mind, I wouldn’t come in scout’s camp. I told to my senior that I couldn’t attend the scout’s camp because I had a ceremony in my house. Nana knew that I was lying and she reminded me the reason I joined this club. I thought that she was right and I joined the camp by the forced of Nana.

            We almost spent two days in Abiansemal and in second day we had the exploration time.  At first, I still felt good and did the game happily because it started with a lot of fun games. When I reached the last game, my face looked pale and I just stared at the game without doing anything. On the last game, I had to go down from the clift by rope and reached the finish’s line. I felt my foot was trembling and I haven’t known what happened then, I thought I was unconscious. My friends and seniors tried to wake me up and they helped me to pass the last game until I finished it. I was very happy because I passed my hyper phobia for the first time. Then, I went back home with impressive experience that could change my fear forever.

            The experience made me realize that one way to tackle my hyper phobia was coming from me. I am proud of myself because I can prove that I was brave enough to tackle my hyper phobia, even though I got unconscious at first. I got some impressive experience, started when I told my hyper phobia to Nana and she told me to join the scout club, I joined the camp by the forced of Nana, passed all the challenging games and of course against my fear. So, the scout’s experience gave me a chance to tackle my fear for the first time.
