Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go on a high ropes course with my class. I am terrified of heights.
The last time I did this was in 5th grade and I cried.
I have changed SO much from 5th grade and for me this was my time to prove it. I pretended that I was not scared.
I was the first to climb up into the treetops.
I was the one encouraging those that were afraid because I knew how they felt.( My gosh when I leaped and missed the rope I really wanted to cry too but instead I laughed. )
I was the first one to close my eyes and jump!
ME~~~!!!!!!!!

I still can't believe I did it I feel like I conquered a huge fear and I came out saying, " When can we do this again?!?!?"
I'm not funny. What I am is brave. ~Lucille Ball

Ps In WA this is what the forests look like... it is stunning and it is just magical swinging form tree top to tree top! At one point we were all up in the trees talking (60ft off the ground.) and it was the coolest feeling!

This is by far my biggest fear. I have started writing down all the stories my parents and grandparents tell me for this exact reason....
