How I did it: I was in the Galapagos Islands and we were snorkeling.  Somehow I missed our leader telling us how there were sharks in the waters and how they were herbivores, so they wouldn't be after us.  The waves were rough and I was knocked into rough rocks, so my leg was bleeding and then our leader told us to be quiet because of the sharks.  I freaked out.  We made it through, but then had to go back through.  I was all prepared for my leg to be taken off and die, but I made it back through and out of the water and then my friend told me what the leader had said.   All my friends make fun of me for it now.

Lessons & tips: Listen to what your leaders tell you to save you from fear.
