A Lesson Learned Analysis

A time I had to overcome adversity in my life was when I became injured during the middle of cheer tryouts. At the time I was very passionate about competitive cheer, and my goal was to make the junior five team. When I got to tryouts everyone was tumbling, stunting and doing the dance routine. My adrenaline was pumping as I went to warm up my tumbling and throw a roundoff, back handspring, layout. I was determined to accomplish this for tryouts and impress my coach, but I was still very nervous. As I was running into the roundoff back handspring, I knew something was bound to go wrong. The next thing I knew I was in the middle of the air and suddenly landed on my knees, with my ankle twisted under me. My face got bright

Throughout my life I faced a lot of challenges. I had to overcome the obstacle that was on my way. The obstacle made me stronger and made me the person who I am right

Overcoming these obstacles has made me a mature and strong individual. I am proud of what I have accomplished, even with the hardships that I have had to face and my biggest goal is to make my parents proud.

Sitting in the car while my dad was driving us home, we came to a stop at a red light. I can still remember Katy Perry’s voice in the background as we came to that stop, saying “Do you ever feel, like a plastic bag.” When the light turned green, my dad accelerated

I can still recall a small but impactful moment I experienced my Freshman year of high school. I dropped my pencil in class

My first day at school I sat by this boy and he would pick on me because of my skin color, and my scars when I was born I had difficulties breathing. I was born May 18,2000 and the doctors put me inside of an incubator and gave me a scar on my hand that I still have this very day. I used to cry about that when I got home everyday, but I use that as a strength now because I know that I am a very intelligent person despite my flaws and over the years I've learned to accept the fact the no one is perfect and the only reason people do that is because their own

Even knowing that everyone must feel suffering to be able to grow stronger. And I know that part of this comes from how empathetic I am. That was interesting to learn, finding out that not everyone can feel others pain as well as I can. I made my former best friend mad at me more than once for being able to tell she was upset and wanting to help her. And since then I have tried my best to leave that behind. I know that I tried to be less nice, I didn’t want to become a doormat. But apparently I underestimated just how friendly I appeared and was.

Throughout my life I faced a lot of challenges. I had to overcome the obstacle that was on my way. The obstacle made me stronger and made me the person who I am right now a ambitious and hardworking student.

Failure is a scary word. It’s a scary topic, and a scary feeling for many of us. We tend to focus more on not failing that we lose track of what were really aiming for; success.

There are many historical buildings in Colonial Williamsburg: the Magazine, the Governor’s Palace, the Capitol, and the Bruton Parish Church, and even though all of them deserve a commemorative coin only one can be chosen. The Magazine is the best choice for the coin because it was an important part of the Revolutionary war. A commemorative coin is something that is made to honor an event, issue, place or person. In this case, it is used as a coin to honor a place, the Magazine, and how it was an important piece of history. In this writing there will be information on the Magazine, why it should get a coin, and how it connects to the mission statement, “That the Future May Learn From the Past”

It was a hot week of summer. My family was planning on going to Texas because my grandfather had fallen ill. My grandfather had been battling cancer for a while and was placed in a nursing home he did not like. When my family picked him up and brought him back home, we didn’t have any idea what was about to happen.

It was Friedrich Nietzschehas who said, “What doesn’t kill you makes, you stronger”. I like to call these moments in a person’s life, “defining moments”. Additionally, I like most people, have had a few of these “defining moments”; probably more than one person should. Growing up, I had a hard time accepting one of my “won’t kill you-make you stronger” moments. It was a moment of betrayal and deceit, inflicted upon by a person I trusted fully and completely, with my life. My mother.

To this day I have learned that being in a hard time may bring out the best in a person. It doesn't bring the bad out in someone and if it does, it was their own choice because during a hard time the actions you take shows a lot about you.
