Braving the Imaginary Monsters

Describe a fear you held as a child and how you found strength to cope or overcome it.

As children, our fears can range from imaginary monsters under the bed to scary noises in the night. In every fear, there was a tiny act of bravery, a resilience that the child in you displayed. Recount that experience, exploring what form your fear took, how it manifested and more importantly, how you braved it. Such a prompt encourages self-reflection on your past fears, their consequences, and your innate strength that allowed you to navigate through those fears.
