THE GIRL WHO OUTRAN HER FEAR

 Amara was the youngest runner on her school’s track team.

She was fast, very fast, but she had one big problem…

She was afraid of crowds.

Every time she stood on the track and heard people shouting, her legs would shake.
She always finished last, even though her coach knew she could win.

One afternoon, after another disappointing race, Amara sat alone on the field.
Her coach walked up to her and said:

“You’re not losing to the other runners.
You’re losing to your own fear.”

That night, Amara made a decision.
She woke up at 4:30 AM the next morning and ran.
No crowd. No noise. Just her footsteps.

She did it again the next day.
And the next.
And every morning for two months.

One day, a big competition arrived.
The stadium was full.
People were shouting.
Her heart was racing like a drum.

But this time, she whispered to herself:

“I have raced tougher enemies — my fear.”

The whistle blew.

Amara ran like the wind.
She didn’t look left or right.
She didn’t hear the noise.
She crossed the finish line first.

The crowd went wild.

Later, someone asked her:

“How did you finally overcome your fear?”

She smiled and said:

“I stopped running from my fear…
and started running with it.”
