A problem I enountered and how I solved it

Problems exists to be able to solved.Most people think that problems are things that slow down our work progress, but I think otherwise.In my opinion,problems is opportunities to solve and thus, expand our knowledge.Thomas Edison had problems of creating the lightbulb, but eventually he solved the problems through 1000 ways and thus, he know how to create lightbulb.
Now, I'm gonna tell you readers about my problem and how I solved it.I was walking home from church through a mini forest passage(aka shortcut) when I saw something that froze me on the tracks(keep you all in suspense).It did not noticed me at first, but my heart was pounding loud.I could have sworn it heard my heart beating(SUSPENSE).It was a...SNAKE!If looks can kill, I wouldn't be typing this blog now.The snake was slithering around and on catching my gaze, it hissed and my heart stopped beating for 2 seconds.I tried to look as unconspicuous as possible but I could tell you,it was real hard to stop my legs from sprinting away.The reason why I did not turn and head back to the church was because there were like,20 metres away from home.On continuing the journey,I armed myself with a stick and started making noises with my throat to try to scare the snake away and all was well.Back at home,I told my parents about the snake and they called the NEA to inform the about it(the NEA reward us $100 for informing them)
I promised myself that I would not take these DANGEROUS shortcuts in the future.KTHXBAI
