Some time ago, scientists began experiments to find out (56)____ it would be possible to set up a

sharing was to identify what feelings I actually had! Making a list of them seemed to help. Was I happy or
was I sad? Was it all emotion experienced only at that particular time or did I tend to feel like that all the
time?
My problem was that I had not realised that some fears are quite acceptable and even helpful at
times, while others can actually get in the way of enjoying everyday things such as learning, playing with
a friend or experiencing for the first time the change from Primary to Secondary level. This is when I
really should have had a chat with my parents instead of holding it all inside, as they would have been
able to lessen my anxiety about moving up.
There were times when my anxiety would also be accompanied by a headache, a stomachache or
dizziness. My grandmother used to tell me that there is a certain part of the brain that controls that fight or
flight feeling. Not that I had any idea what she was talking about as I must have been only about knee-
high at the time!
I recall a small group of us feeling uncomfortable at the idea of meeting new teachers or moving
up to the “big” school. That kind of discomfort at such an age is natural when faced with something new.
Better late than never, I realised that being shy is not such a bad thing. Nobody actually sets out to be like
that, it just happens naturally. I understood quite quickly that the key to shyness is just to be yourself. No
matter the age, it’s healthy to get things off your chest! In fact, I quickly found that some of my friends
had the same feelings and became quite happy to share their secrets. Sometimes, just inviting a shy child
to join in a game a couple of times helped them to get over their feelings of shyness.
There were other times when I felt sad about leaving Primary school, but then again, it was one of
the many normal emotions or moods we have all experienced during that period of change. Unhappiness
was the emotion I felt when I had to say goodbye to certain dear friends. It made me feel like crying,
though even crying made me feel better as tears slowly washed away the negative emotions. When the
sadness started to disappear, it felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
I now realise at the tender age of twenty- eight that, even though, there might sometimes seem to
be no reason to look on the bright side of life, for every bad there is a good. Also, having friends who
think optimistically can help you get on your feet again and move forward onto a more positive path.
