What frightens you and why?
Change has often been frightening to me. The first day of school was always frightening because of all the new things. I didn't know what the teacher would expect. I didn't know for sure who else would be in my classroom. In grade school I even found going down the slide or swinging very high to be scary since I hadn't done either all summer. In junior high and high school and in college I would worry about finding the classroom and getting to class on time. Even as an adult things like going for a job interview or starting a new job are scary. Of course things that can hurt me are scary. Badgers scare me after seeing one charge my dad. Rattlesnakes, scorpions, black widow spiders all scare me.

If you list all the things you are afraid of and why, you will add a lot to your story. It might give you a little insight into yourself too. Then write down what other members of your family are afraid of and why they are afraid.
