No one knew I was really scared to ride the roller coaster. I'm afraid of heights. When my family all looked 15 and said yes, I didn't want to be the only one to stay behind. My little sister was just tall enough to ride, but she wasn't scared at all. If she wasn't afraid, how could I say I was?
As we slowly moved forward in the long line, I tried to be 16. "You can do it," I told myself again and again. But the closer we got, the more nervous I felt.
Before I knew it, we reached the 17 of the line. It was our turn. The roller coaster cars came and 18. The gate opened. It was time to step in. I felt so scared that my body wouldn't move. I knew then: I couldn't ride the roller coaster.
I said to the worker, "I don't want to go." She was nice and showed me the way out. I went away quickly. I just shouted to Dad that I was leaving. There wasn't time for him to say anything, and I didn't look back. My legs felt 19, but I was also a bit relaxed. I thought, even if they were unhappy or laughed at me, it was 20 than riding the roller coaster.
I sat on a bench and waited, with my eyes looking at the ground. When I heard footsteps, I looked up. As soon as they sat down, Dad asked, "Are you okay?"
"What's the 21?" Dad asked. I told him I was scared. Having opened up about my fear, I felt a sense of relief and honesty took its place. "I'm sorry I let you down," I said quietly, unable to meet his eyes. Dad smiled 22, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Never feel bad for knowing your limits," he said. When I heard his words, I felt like a heavy stone was 23. That day, I learnt that being brave isn't about acting like you're not afraid. It's about knowing yourself and 24 it. Never say sorry for knowing what you can and can't do.
