Trepidation is always fully-dressed, she never forgets her socks or to tie her hair. She’s been the student of the month three times in a row for academic excellence, dedicated service and respect for all. However she doesn’t have a sense of herself. She’s never satisfied about herself, always thinking that she can’t succeed, because she is scared to think about the outcomes. She never steps outside of the box. Always living in her comfort zone, too scared to risk herself. She is the kind of daughter that her mom can show-off to her friends. The typical, clever daughter that never rocks the boat.
Confidence was pushed away by her friend anxiety. Anxiety didn’t like Confidence, she said he is always day-dreaming about impossible and realistic goals. She didn’t like Trust either, because Trust always believes in everyone no matter if it’s right or wrong. Trepidation is a chicken, she wants her friends back, and she is also scared to lose Anxiety. She always thinks, “What if Anxiety gets mad? What if she doesn’t want me too?” “What if…?”
She doesn’t know how to ask for help, the only words you can get from her are, “Yes, thank you” and “Sorry…” She never raises her hands in class but she always use them to cover her eyes when she watches scary ghost movies. Then always end up screaming and watching through her fingers and then having an awful nightmare afterwards. She also wonders, “What if I didn’t use my hands to cover my eyes? What if…?”
Reflection
The cramming week, the week before breaks and holidays. And yes, we have tests, and assignments to complete right before that week. In Writing Dev. we are lucky enough not to have any tests, but we are finishing up our personification prose. Trepidation is my quality that I am writing about. If you ask me what would I do differently I would say the way I think about my quality. Because, while I was brainstorming and drafting, I tend to think of it as another quality. Also, instead of focusing on all sides of Trepidation, I often just think about the bad and negative side of it. After I realized I have been too focused on certain things about my quality, I started to think of all the sides about Trepidation, and completed my writing with different sides and personality traits Trepidation has.
