Careful

Being a careful person I don’t experience too many injuries or awkward moments.

I never slide my shoes across the ice when I walk into school like some people do on winter days. 

I drive the speed limit and I always wear my seatbelt. 

I think about what I say before I say it, many times not saying it at all. 

I don’t enjoy jumping on the trampoline because I’ve heard too many agonizing stories about people getting hurt on them. 

I do these things because I’m afraid of getting hurt, of making a fool of myself, of failing. 

Some might say I’m overly cautious and they may have a point.
