Sari from Indonesia shares her journey of overcoming fears. She learned to ride a bicycle despite many falls and eventually succeeded. Facing her fear of swimming, she persisted and became confident in the water. Overcoming her fear of the dark, she realized it was simply the absence of light. Curiosity helped her get over her fear of small creatures, and understanding thunder helped her cope with its noise. Through these experiences, Sari learned to face her fears with bravery and encourages others to do the same, proving that persistence and knowledge can conquer any fear.
