On my first school morning I shook like jelly; during swim class the pool looked like a black monster ready to slurp me up. Every tiny fear felt dragon-sized. But I learned to tiptoe past “what-ifs,” one toe, then another, until small brave steps stacked into a tower of confidence. Today I’ll share how swallowing one scary pill or dipping one toe in water can unlock a huge, sparkling world waiting just beyond the door. My name is Andy.I'm eleven years old.I like to read some books,do some sports and calligraphy.I want to make the world brighter.
