Reading review 2

In letter number 2 Freire dives deep into the concept of fear. He states that this fear is not just tangible, but very real to the individual experiencing it. Fear is a concept that unites the human race. We all experience it at some point in our lives, and most things worth doing cause some level of fear. As educators there is plenty of fear to go around. It is only after we face such fear and anxiety, and come out the other side unscathed do we learn from the experience. This is not to minimize the acute feeling of fear, but to embrace such fear as an agent of change. We grow through these experiences and should actively seek them out for the benefits they hold for our futures.
