Assignment 11 - Dylan Spradlin

Halloween, a favorite holiday for some, often evokes emotion such as fear and intrigue, fright and horror. Whether it be attending a haunted house or dressing up in scary costumes, Halloween reminds us all of our worst fears. Although my preferred holiday isn't Halloween, I always loved watching horror movies. The adrenaline rush of a pop out scare is enjoyable at any age. For me, my worst fears include snakes and spiders. I don't believe in ghosts, but we all know snakes and spiders are terrifyingly real. Although they sometimes have good use on Earth, they creep me out more than any horror movie could. Another huge fear of mine is heights, even though I attempt to overcome it at any given chance. In my opinion, rollercoasters and mountain climbing are fun activities which I try to take advantage of when given the opportunity. Growing up, I have gained more experiences with heights and it has become less of a fear, but falling from very high places with little protection remains terrifying.
