Nervously, I walked down the cereal isle and looked up at the appealing ones up their on the top shelf that I really wanted but couldn’t bring myself too reach. Suddenly, I herd an announcement over the tannoy system which brought me out of my daydream. Other busy shoppers quickly past by me like a heard of cows. Delicious items of food filled there trolley! I felt like a lost aisle in the middle of an ocean… But, seeing they’re lovely shopping had a strange affect on me which aloud me to feel stronger; I was determined too get up that ladder and conquer my fear. “Your amazing!” I kept chanting in my head. Time past slowly as I put one foot in front of the other on the ladder. “I’ve done it!” I shouted allowed when I reached the top, not caring who herd me!
