I have always been a little fearful of heights.
Ever since I was a little kid, I have had a healthy fear of being up high.
I don’t legitimately think how the fear started, but I can remember being afraid to go into the clubhouse with my brother and his friends. They made fun of me instead of trying to help me overcome the fear. I didn’t want to choose a career that would have me on a letter all of the time. I knew that I could work in an office, but I wasn’t genuinely nice with numbers. I was nice with my hands, but most tasks that are nice for people appreciate that are outside. Eventually I ended up in the heating and AC maintenance field. To be honest, I never entirely had to deal much with heights. Most heating and AC units are inside of houses on the first or hour floor. I worked in a residential heating and AC maintenance firm for a while and then I moved to a company that handled commercial repairs as well. The first time I had to go to a building with a rooftop ac, I had to climb up a genuinely tall letter that was attached to the side of the building. The ladder was as tall as the building and it was the only access to the AC unit. I thought I was going to faint, but I made it all the way to the top of the ladder. I still have a genuinely healthy fear of heights, but at least I think that I can go up there if I have to for work.
