Watch the video clip below about a little Surrey girl who gets hearing aids, and hears for the first time. In 'Wonder' today, Auggie gets the hearing aids he has been dreading. In the end of the chapter he says, "Now that I look back, I don't know why I was so stressed about it all this time. Funny how sometimes you worry a lot about something and it turns out to be nothing." Leave a comment: Have you ever worried about something that turned out to be nothing much? What was it? Why were you worried? How did it turn out in the end?

If you are CurlyFrie stop reading. The grade 6 shots was very nerve racking for me because I had to get 3 of them. Waiting in line for about 5 minutes watching the other kids walk into the multipurpose room stood the hairs on the back of my neck. Once I got the shots I was really questioning what was going on in my head a couple minutes before. I was pretty happy about the juice box we got after though. Have a great weekend everyone! Bye!

I started reading past, "if you are Curlyfrie stop reading" and now I know what you mean, but I'm still terrified of them!

Yes, I was so scared for my one of my science test. I was worried because I thought I didn't study that much and also I was scared about getting a bad mark but at the end I did a good job and I got a good mark too. Well, bye and see you guys on Tuesday! :)

This year I was really nervous to do my book commercial because I'm shy in front of crowds and because of my experiences in the past with speeches. Once my speech was over I was just like, what was I worrying about because I didn't freeze in front of everybody and my final mark was great! Bye see you all Tuesday, and have a wonderful family day!

I have to agree with itzme.eg (sorry, Curlyfrie). I was TERRIFIED of the shots! I had a lump in my throat, both of fear and the thought of 'what if something goes wrong?' I was worried how much it would hurt, how much it would affect me (drowsiness, nausea, who knows what it could bring to me?) But after, I felt like it was not so bad. It just lasted for a couple of seconds and it withered away like a speck of dust. Okay, bye!

Was that a "Reply" instead of a "Comment"? Sorry, that wasn't supposed to happen.

I think a thing that I've freaked myself out about is medicine. Every time I'm sick and I have to take medicine I freak myself out by saying it'll taste disgusting or it won't make me any better. I usually end up taking it and realizing it's not that bad but the next time I do it I make a big deal out of it.

a time that I have worried about is getting to hockey practice on time. I was worried because my mom was taking so long to get ready so I thought I was going to be late. in the end we were there early they have not opened the door to get in the arena then the guy came AMD opened the door for us. this was probably at 5:25am.

I was too concerned when I was doing piano concert with my friends. I was so nervous that I kept shuddered my legs and kept forgetting my part. When I went to do my rehearsal, it went good, but I was still worried for the real! The concert had begun and it was really close to begin mine! I wish that they just say Idon't have to do it, but it doesn't worked out. They just called my name so I went up to the stage. I started mine, I was really nervous and worried, but when I started putting my hand on the keyboard, my hand just went on and on until it ended, and there was an aplause! I just didn't know that I finished mine, and I don't have anything that I've been wrong too! I relieved and sit at my sit. My mom also texted me that it was great. I thought that it was not that nervous thing if you practiced a lot, or gave an effort on it.

I was scared about our socials test, but about halfway through, I realized that they were actually pretty easy questions.

I was in Mexico and I was terrified to go in the Ocean even up to my knees, because I was worried that a shark was going to come eat me! After I went in with my whole family and it was totally fine I went out really far and was full on swimming. In the end I was totally fine.

Yes, I have worried about something that turned out to be nothing much. It was when I had a blood test. When I saw the needle my face turned red and I felt like I was about to throw-up right there on the spot. But once it went in I felt so embarrassed of how scared and childish I was acting because the needle felt like a small pinch my sister would give me. I only got scared because my mom had one before me and she got a huge bruise that lasted a month and a half. And that wasn't all of her pain, because she had to have 3 others after. I felt like screaming for her, but I bit back the yelp I was holding in. But, after, everything turned out fine in the end and know one had to go through anymore pain, well, not from our family. :)

That happened to me once it was when I was worried about presenting my speech in grade 6. When I look back now I realized that it was nothing and that I did pretty well. See you all tomorrow.

No, I don't think that has ever happened to me before of that I can remember but know I can't answer the other questions so I'll just talk about my weekend. I was at my dads the whole weekend and it was very relaxing until the super bowl came on, it was a awesome and hilarious game. When I got back to my mom's house right there was a new computer/gamer chair it looks awesome. I had a very relaxing weekend at my dad's but when I got back to my mom's I had to do chores for four hours straight. That's all I got,see you all tomorrow! :D

I remember the first time I had to get my teeth frozen, I didn't want to even think about it because it was to terrifying to think about. But when I went it was just a pinch and it turned out to be fine!

It was my first time at the P.N.E and Andy (my older brother) wanted me and him to go on this ride that has a bunch of swings and it turns and turns like a regular swing but it goes up and down. I was SO scared but I wanted to show Andy that I could do it. So we go on and I'm freaking out whilst Andy is calming me down. I was worries, well more like scared because for me it was SO TALL. After the ride I was shocked because I LOVED IT. Ever since I would always go on that ride. and I've even been on the much much taller one which is also AMAZING. I'm glad this happened because it made me more brave and now I try things without freaking out.

When I was in grade 4, I had a pop quiz at school. Before I got the quiz, I thought it would be hard because I didn't study last day. But, when I got the quiz, I no longer worried because it was about a material I learned yesterday.

One time I had to get a blood test cause I was sick and I didn't want to and I was scared, my mom tried everything to get me to do it like going to the mall and buying me stuff or going to get fro-yo e.t.c but I didn't want to get it but after like 3 hours of me hiding I went with my mom because I realized that it's for my health and it would be better if I wasn't sick anymore, so I went to this really scary lab place and the lady said it was a butterfly needle but really it looked like a blood sucking mousquito needle, anyways she put it in and it didn't hurt at all and I thought back on how much I worried and it didn't even hurt at all! Bye! See everyone tomorrow!

I was really worried about a test, but I actually got the best mark in the class. I was worried because I prefer not to get a bad mark on any subject. I need to calm myself down before I have a test, sometimes.

I have been worried before about small things but in the end it was nothing. It is so strange how you can worry so much about nothing at all. I get worried when we do a test and it is one of the important ones.

I was worried to wear my glasses. I thought people would make fun of me. They did but I ignored it, and my friends were supportive. Now it is just me. It turned out awesome when I had better eye site then everyone else😈. See you all tomorrow.

I was worried about wearing my glasses in school in case people made fun of me. I am going to try to wear them all the time because maybe it will help me see better in class and help my work.
