Assignment 8- Ben Belin

 Fears: SPIDERS

Annoyances: people who honk at me on the road, bad TV shows

Accomplishments: have not gotten a C in a class yet (pretty proud of this one), eating 12 slices of pizza in one sitting (my record)

Confusions: why doesn't everyone wear ski masks more often to keep their faces warm

Sorrows: talking to loud (sometimes gets me in trouble)

Dreams: owning a moped, opening a taco truck

Idiosyncrasies: mints make me sneeze

Risks: bit confused by what I was supposed to write here, but driving is a risk when I'm the one doing it

Beloved possessions: phone, mask (right now), alarm clock

Problems: organization, procrastination (this is why I am doing all these blog posts in one day)

I will elaborate on my fear of spiders because its pretty bad. Now most people who are afraid of spiders don't have a reason behind it and just find them creepy/scary; however,  that is NOT the case for me. I will never forget how I became afraid of spiders. It was when I was in 3rd grade I came home from school and my sister decided to show my a picture of the biggest spider in the world (which was as large as a dinner plate) after this I became so afraid of spiders that when I was watching a video and a spider came onto the screen I had to look away. This fear only got worse when one day when I was in 4th grade I was half listening to my teacher when a MASSIVE spider dropped down from he ceiling and landed right in front of me. Needless to say I ran out of that room as fast as I could. An interesting part of my fear is that daddy-long-legs don't scare me. I don't know why maybe its because they don't look like other spiders.
