Life achievements

Hi my name is Lily-Jean Boatwright! I am 10 years old and this story is about my achievements and places I’ve been in danger. 

First we will start with conquering my fears. So first on the list is the dark and we are going from least scary to SCARY, I used to be scared of the dark because I had nyctophobia it’s when your really scared of the dark. But it’s not the dark I’m scared of it’s the things in the dark like what happens if there was something lurking in the dark. I would always hide under my blankets if I hear a noise or see a shadow which was probably my jumper on my coat hanger. When I was little and I never wanted to be alone in the dark if I was I would most probably cry which is really babyish but I was young so most kids are scared when they’re younger. I conquered this fear by keeping the kitchen light on because it isn’t to bright and I started having a night light then I got rid of the night light and I started falling asleep easily that’s how I concurred my fear of being alone in the dark. 

Next on the list is talking to someone I don’t know or I haven’t met before. So when I was young (most of these things were when I was younger) I had a fear of talking to people I didn’t know or strangers because I was a really shy kid and it was very bad if I went to a new school because I was so shy I didn’t make much friends but I made friends so then when I made friends they would help me out and stuff so then that’s how i conquered that fear. 

So now here’s my scariest thing that has happened to me and it wasn’t my achievement it was my uncles because he saved my life. It started when I went for a holiday up north, a few days after we set up we went to the beach so I haven’t been to the beach for a while so I didn’t remember how big and how strong the waves were.  I jumped in and I was going in and out of the water. I had some boogie boards so I was playing with them then the rest of my cousins came in and my uncle.

We were catching waves but I was going to deep I didn’t notice until I was going back to shore but then the sun disappeared. I looked up it was the most scariest thing ever a giant wave was going over me I didn’t think twice so I tried to swim out of it but then it got me and it was like I was in a washing machine I was going round and round I was trying to get to the surface but I couldn’t until I remembered to put my hand up so I tried but I was too short so I tried one more time and something grabbed my hand another wave was coming I was so scared my uncle saved my life and I was so terrified. 

My uncle took me back to shore and I grabbed my stuff and went to change I was so scared then I sat in the car with the heater on I didn’t  believe that just happened but it did. 

Now my dad is the hero in this one but the weird thing is that it was on the exact same day as the wave trauma happened. I was so tired I didn’t even put my sandals back on to walk through the gate so I just threw my sandals over the big fence and opened the gate then I felt a sharp pain in my foot I thought it was another prickle so I was just going to pull it out but then it was a bee and I hate bee stings so my eyes were watering then I started kicking it out of my foot and I looked weird while doing it it was like I was dancing but I was kicking then my dad said what happened and I started crying and then he asked my aunt if she had any vinegar. Luckily she did so my dad got the rest of the stinger out and put a little bit of vinegar on it and also the dog got a bee sting in its mouth but we couldn’t put vinegar on it. 

Now we can talk about something when I was a little younger precisely 6 so it was a normal day at school but I didn’t feel well so it was almost home time so I just stayed so then my mum picked me up then we were driving home until I said I need to vomit then she gave me a cup I vomited lots then she let me stay home for a couple of days but I kept vomiting everyday so I went doctors then the lady did some test and told my mum to take me to the hospital then when we arrived I got checked up and I was really scared then I had to have a needle and with this stuff called magic cream the nurse put it on and I cried because it hurt lots then I stayed in the hospital for weeks then I finally stoped vomiting so I was really happy and I got to go home so that’s not really my achievement but I’d say it’s my mum,s  because she looked after me and she never left me so that makes me happy. 

That was the last trauma in my life I wonder what’s next!
