Write about a time when you were brave. Describe the situation, do you believe that the experience made you a stronger person?

I'm terrified of cockroaches so the last time i remember being brave, was when my nephew tried to scare me by holding one by the antenna and pretending he was going to throw it at me.
I was soooo scared, it was sad because for some weird reason i m more scared of them when their dead than when they're alive. We got in a fight and he told me he was gonna go get the cockroach he had just killed and throw it at me. I told him i did nt care and he got it and started gettting it closer and closer to me, i pretended i did nt see it, but inside i was dying.
When he realized i did nt care due to my non reaction to his threaths, he stopped and threw the cockroach away.
The situation did'nt make me any stronger because i'm still petrified when i see one, dead or alive, i even it worsened my fear. But i also know that i learned from my mistake and never let my nephew know what i'm scared of nor ever ask him to kill any animal, or insect for me.
this experience also got me revengeful but i cant do anything to him because even when he's as old as me, i still see him as my nephew and i cant hurt nor be mean to him and plus the only thing i know he's scared of are possums and i cant even leave the house throught the front yard if they're in the back. So i just let it go and moved on.
