I SHALL OVERCOME MY FEARS RESPONSE

  My views of reading this short story " I shall overcome my fears", was about fear and how it controlls our lives. I believe that statement is correct, because I know from my own experiences that I dont do certian things ,because I'm scared to do them. For example; I was afraid of being on the cheerleading team because, I was afraid to mess up a cheer and get laughed off the field. Fear is our natural emotion for us, because we are born with it. But in this story, the man is a homosexual that was in the United States Submarien Force.Being a homosexual, he had fear of acceptance from anyone, because he was different from the averange male type. His fear took control of him to limit things that he thought he couldn't do because people were telling him that he couldn't. Fear is the four letter word that controlls ever human on the planet. It just depends on what you do with it, do you set it aside and not let it get the best of you? Or do you let it take over your life?
