Science Phobia

My Experience:

I have a love hate relationship with science. I find some science topics very interesting, but I haven't had a science teacher that has made me love it yet. My earliest memory of disliking science was in 6th grade. My teacher was very strict, if we did something that was against her rules she made us do push ups or sit ups in front of the whole class. I was more focused on doing the right thing instead of learning about science. The rest of my middle school science teachers were also very strict. This was a struggle for me because we did fun lessons, but I just really disliked the teachers. Once I got into high school I already had my mind made up that I just didn't like science. My teachers were less strict in high school, but they just weren't great at teaching the content. Everything was memorization, and they weren't great at helping you out when needed. I always use to say that they were "too smart" to teach us. I was always only taught one way, and there was little explanation.

My Phobia: Ophidiophobia

Ophidiophobia is the fear of snakes. I absolutely hate snakes. I avoid certain areas around my house because I have seen snakes there before. I'm not sure what caused me to hate them, but just the thought or pictures of them freak me out. I would insert an image, but as I mentioned my heart starts to race at just the sight of snakes.
