There once was a girl named bobby. She hated her name but her parents refused to change it,but that's not all. Bobby had something worse going on in her life other than her name she had Schoramicphobia which is a disease where you don't want to go to school. Her syptoms were small at first but grew to be not only not wanting to go to school but she got scared of school...
She was so scared that she would wake up in the morning and start screaming because she did NOT want to go to school. She was scared of the teachers, the desks, the other students, the homework, everything!
Bobby's mom didn't know what to do. She couldn't make Bobby go to school when she was so scared, but Bobby needed to go to school or she wouldn't learn the things that she was supposed to learn. Bobby's mom took Bobby to doctors all across the world to try to see if they could cure Bobby of her fear, but nothing worked.
One day, desperate, Bobby's mom saw a flyer for a woman who said she cured Schoramicphobia. Immediately, Bobby's mom called the number on the flyer and set up an appointment.
The next day, a nice little old lady came to the door. "Can I speak to Bobby?" she said.
Bobby's mom let the woman in and the woman went straight to Bobby's room where Bobby was hiding under her bed because she was so afraid of school.
"Hi Bobby," the old lady said. "Can you tell me some of the fun things at school?"
Bobby blinked. "Fun?"
"Yes. Did you ever have fun at school?"
Bobby thought very hard. "I always liked recess," she said
"What did you do at recess?"
"Played hopscotch and wall ball. And tag."
"Very good. What else?"
Bobby thought some more. "I like to read books," she said.
"Perfect." The old lady pulled an old looking book out of her bag. "Whenever you are feeling scared of school," she said, "Open this book and it will show you all of the good times you had there. School is like anything else--it is not all bad, but there is some good too."
So Bobby went to school. And when she started to get scared, she pulled out the book and remembered all of the things that she loved about school.
Until the phobia went away.
