When I Was Young

这是我曾经做过的一篇文章，我认为很有意义，所以摘下来送给大家。
   As a child,I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost;These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
   Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my familar room at night that frightende me so much.There was nerer total darkness,but a streetlight or prssing xar lights made clothes hung over a chair take on the shape of a wild animal .Out of the corner of my eye ,I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind.
  A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight.My imagination would run wild ,and my heart would beat fast,I would lie very still ,so that the "enemy"would not discover me .
  Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost ,especially on the way home from school.Every mouning I got on the school bus right near my home-that was no problem.After school,though,where all the buses were lined up along the road ,I was afraid that I'd get on the wrong one and be taken to some unfamilar neighborhood.On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
  Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others.Being popular was so impotatnt to me then,and the fear of not being liked was a powerful one.
  One of the processes of growing up is being able to recognize and overcome our fears.Understanding the things that frightende us as chkldren helps us achieve greater success later in life.相信这也是我们的成长！
