Fight It. Fight The Fear.


I'm afraid.

I don't want to go near the water.

It's raging.

The raft is not safe.

My friends are not safe.

I am not safe.

Water rushing.

Other rafts passing.

Students splashing.

Students laughing.

I'm afraid.

I will watch.

Others splashing.

Others laughing.

Our raft is coming.

I can't get in.

My friends are in the raft.

Friends splashing.

Friends laughing.

I am near the water.

It's not raging.

It's bubbling.

Bubbles are fun.

I am in the raft.

Me splashing.

Me laughing.
