What’s stopping people from overcoming their fears? Themselves. Conquering fears is a difficult task, but it can be achieved with little steps and motivation. An example is how Clarissa overcame her fear. Due to her violent past, she had many nightmares, and was always to herself. Watching Molly Graybull at her first powwow was an eye opener to Clarissa. Fascinated, she started practising on her own with a tape recorder that was borrowed from her foster mother. As weeks passed, there was a change in her and she asked her foster mother to teach her some dance moves.
