overcoming my fears

Here is a list of things I was scared of two years ago.
1. Math
2. Dinosaurs
3. Bears
4. Computers

Here is a modified list of reasons why I am no longer scared of each of the above-mentioned.

1. Math- I realized that math just looks scary, the jokes don't help...seven eight nine. wait what? Now that I know the little math tricks I can square root 4 digit numbers in my head. I have also created a foundation-- The Annie North Hennessy Math Program for American Girls (which will be discussed in a future blog post).

2. Dinosaurs.
Velociraptors were actually only the size of turkeys. Best exemplified by this chart I have found online:
Turkeys are not scary! Therefore using my new math skills I can transitive property this. Velociraptor= Dinosaur Velociraptor= Turkey THEREFORE Dinosaur= Turkey Turkey= Not Scary THEREFORE Dinosaur= Not Scary.
I love math.

3. Bears. Once you learn you can call anything a bear they are no longer scary! Plus if you put bear after any word it automatically sounds cute.

Activity:
1. Look around the room and choose an object.
2. Say the object out loud and than say bear.
For examples:
Lamp bear.
Chair bear.
Folder bear.
Phil Bear!!!
Now you try- ___________________ Bear.
4. Computers. Snowbear sent me these great mp3s of their songs but I had no idea how to link it to blog spot. Normally this would be too intimidating for me to do, but it wasn't that hard.
I used to be scared!!! Now I am empowered!
update: ok so at least i tried to put up video. technology is not scary but its difficult!
