So, how do I feel? Fine. Really great, actually. Maybe they sense my lack of fear this time. They seem __________  me.

While I have been conquering my fears, I _____ _____ __________  to accept that sharks really aren’t naturally man-eaters. We _____ just not on their menu. But, and this is a big “but”, when we venture into their world, we owe them total respect and understanding.

Man, what a difference! I would never ______   __________  that I could do this two weeks ago. I’m just a lot more comfortable with the sharks now. Now, I just think they’re beautiful. A few weeks ago, I _______ honestly ______ of sharks; just the idea of them! My first encounter with black tips was an absolute nightmare. The whole process _____  _____  tough, and there have been times when I _____  _____  to get out of the water.

But now that I _____  _____  with some of these extraordinary creatures, I wouldn’t  ____  ______  the experience for the world. The amazing thing is that my irrational fear ____  ____  __________ by a complete and utter fascination. Being in the water with them holds no terrors for me now, which means my Shark Therapy _____  _____.
