Fear of Heights My transportation to commute to study every day is a motorbike. My weaknesses are that my riding skill is so bad, and when riding it to a parking lot in the basement floor, I feel scared out of my wits due to my acrophobia. Yesterday, one of my professors asked us to go to a hospital where she is working for her lectures. I found her presentations very interesting except for one thing. That is when I returned to the parking lot to get my motorbike, oh, my God, I began to be nervous of the crowd riding their motors out of the place. We had to slowly ascend to the slope of the basement floor of the hospital. Unfortunately, my motor didn't unexpectedly stop functioning twice at that time. This worried me more. At that time, I persevered to control my motor, because if not, I would have caused a tribulation head-on to people behind me. In the end, I escaped that place safely. How silly I was! The lesson is that confronting challenges in life is inevitable. Each time fear creeps in, replace it with an image of success. The achievements would be well worth much.

Fear of Heights

My transportation to commute to study every day is a motorbike. My weaknesses are that my riding skill is so bad poor, and when riding it to a parking lot in the a basement floor, I feel scared out of my wits due to my acrophobia.

Yesterday, one of my professors asked us to go to a hospital where she is working for her lectures. I found her presentations very interesting except for one thing. That is when I returned to the parking lot to get my motorbike, oh, my God, I began to be nervous of the crowd riding their motorbikes out of the place. We had to slowly ascend to up the slope of the basement floor of the hospital. Unfortunately, my motorbike didn't unexpectedly stopped functioning twice at that time. This worried me more! At that time, I persevered to control my motorbike, because if not, I would have caused a tribulation head-on to people behind me the people behind me to run into me!


In the end, I escaped that place safely. How silly I was! I was silly. The lesson is that confronting challenges in life is inevitable. Each time fear creeps in, replace it with an image of success. The achievements would will be well worth much it.

 

This kind of acrophobia I have never heard of! Fear on rooftops, ok. Fear in basements, hmm?! Be brave, CD!

In the US, we call them motorbikes, or bikes, never motors. I don't know about the rest of the world.

I removed 2 'at that times' because it is clear you are telling a story in the past.


Sentences like 'How silly I was' with a trailing subject/verb is grammatically correct, but people don't talk that way. You see it in old literature. It sounds cute when you say that! but, just so you know, it is rather formal, even academic, and reminds me of Yoda. (Ha! and I just did it with 'This kind of acrophobia...'!)


"... will be well worth it" is a common phrase
