What a challenge...

Actually I do not like challenges. I feel most confortable when I can predict what I am doing and everything is going the way I have planned. Since I am in the US, I face a lot of challenges: I cope with different opinions and cultural differences, I eat raw fish (sushi!), I try to overcome fears of expressing myself properly in English. Today, there was a different challenge I had to take: hights. Yes. I am scrared of hights. I tremble when I climb up some stairs of a latter, I get nervous when I am on a bridge and I both enjoy but I am frightend when I go up the Space Needle in Seattle to have a tremendous view of the city. Today, I wanted to overcome this obstacle and the sport challenge was a good opportunity to do so...I climbed up a poll which was about 5-7 m high and i can still feel the shivers running down my spine. It was awesome to overcome my fear and to be stronger than it. What a challenge!
