I overcame my fear when I was a child, around 8 years old. My fear was dancing on a stage, so my mom decided to enroll me in a dance club. I learned how to dance step by step, and my teacher and my mom supported me and helped me to overcome this fear. One day, my mom decided to have me participate in a competition, and I won first place. I was so happy because I overcame my fear and also became a winner. I am so thankful for my dance teacher and for my mom because they helped and motivated me at that time. Afterwards, I felt like I was a winner in a big war because overcoming a fear is not as easy as it seems. I was just happy that I overcame my fear.
