Fears

There are things that scare me. Things that definitely make me nervous. Eating bugs, holding snakes and huge bugs and spiders definitely fall into this category.

Today, I was able to do two of these things.  Today I held a tarantula - his name is Chaco, and he is my friend's pet spider. He is so sweet and cute.

The biology lab I participate in on campus went to a local elementary school for a after school bug club. As their treat, we tried barbeque flavored meal worms. It isn't a crunch that satisfies. But I did it, we ALL did it. And I was nervous, oh yeah. I was scared. I felt a little embarrassed about it too.

But I did it! You can do things you are scared or nervous about too! We all have fears, but we also have courage. Don't let it paralyze you. You got this! You can take your time. You are not alone.
