Bad Problems In My Life

Learning to deal with and overcoming adversity is what made me who I am. Every challenge and every difficulty I’ve successfully confronted in my life served as a way to strengthen my will, confidence and ability to conquer future obstacles. A famous quote I liked came from Herodotus, the Greek philosopher, who said, "Adversity has the effect of drawing out strength and qualities of a man that would have lain dormant in its absence.” When I responded positively and constructively to my biggest challenges, the qualities of strength, courage, character and perseverance emerged from deep within, because I am human, it was very easy to get caught up in the self-pity, unfairness of life, or the “why me?” trap. When I did think like that, I learned that I failed to recognize the opportunities for wisdom and growth that accompanied adversity. However, as soon as I allowed myself to think more clearly, I was able to let go of self-defeating and unproductive thoughts and get down to the business of dealing with what was happening before me and what can happen for me in my future. My failures and setbacks have nothing to do with me being a menace to society instead I had to realize it’s something every human being goes through. It’s a part of life and has everything to do with being human. Circumstances to me now mean nothing. Limitations don’t hold me back.

When I was four years old I fell off the bleachers and hurt myself poorly. This was a very critical condition in which hurt me in several ways. But not only I wasn’t being watched and I got told to run down the bleachers. This was just a start to everything when my head hit the cold hard ground at the softball park.

Throughout life struggles are bound to happen but how we react to them defines us as a person. In life we go through many struggles, problems or a “bump in the road” and they help us learn and become a better person. Recently this year I felt as if i lost everything I’ve worked for in the blink of an eye. As I was entering my senior year football season I felt as if I was prone to anything tragic happening to me as I let my head get to big due to my recent success on the field. At the time I currently held 6 major D1 offers and was looking for more as the year went on. Before I knew it, we were playing in our 3rd game

In the begging of 8th grade I got a high ankle sprain on my left foot from twisting my ankle on a root. I was running cross country and The person behind me said “Oh my gosh that looked bad” before I could even say “ouch”. I had to rest on one foot holding a tree. My coach, who luckily heard me, helped me try to walk, but I couldn’t even put my foot on the ground without it throbbing with torment. The part that really surprised my

*Ear Infections - Fluid trapped in a child’s ears can cause them pain and lead to a fever. This causes great discomfort to the child and parents can feel helpless in not knowing what to do.

In some cases, you may need to have a procedure to drain the fluid in your eardrum (myringotomy). In this procedure, a small tube is placed in the eardrum to:

When something happens in your life when least expected, it is not always a good thing. Three years ago I didn’t think my life could be turned upside down, but it did. I and my husband started fighting a lot, and couple months later, we lost our house, and life started going downhill from there. As soon as I thought everything was getting better, it just got three times worse. This year, I told myself I was going to make it better for my family, but then I lost my kids to CPS.

The next few weeks were hard. Trying to carry myself around on crutches while having the arm strength of a toothpick was a hard, and I struggled a lot. The doctors still didn’t know what was going on with my leg. I went to my family doctor, she didn’t know. They signed me up for physio; my physio therapist couldn’t figure it out. No one could figure out what was wrong with it. I had been on the waiting list for MRI testing and I got a call one night saying they had a spot for me. I went and got the MRI and a few weeks later they called with the results; I had torn both my ACL and my

I was laying on the field for minutes after the play was over, threw off my helmet so I could breathe, and held my leg in agony moving from side to side trying to control the unbearable pain I was feeling. After getting helped off the field from the trainers they examine and tested my leg not knowing what was wrong, I didn’t know what was wrong with my leg until the weekend passed and it became Monday when the doctor told me my MCL and PCL are completely torn. I wouldn’t be able to do any sports for seven months and for the first three and half months I wouldn’t be able to walk and would have to sit in a wheel chair with my leg in a full cast. During this time in high school, I was going through different attachment styles, I was insecure with how I looked in a wheelchair

Oh, I won’t? Watch me. I have bad days, some harder than others, but I will never allow myself to go back to where I was- or anywhere relatively close to it. I’ve learned to love and accept myself, and I definitely got better.

It was a brisk cold morning in Alaska. Three of my cousin and I woke up to the birds chirping. It was a little before church services began. My cousins and I asked our parents if we could ride our bikes and scooter down to the Metro Cafe to get hot chocolate topped with whip cream and sprinkles. They said, ” yes just watch for cars.” Then we left the house, we could hear the faint sounds of the children playing at the park that was across the street from the church. Once we got moving one of my cousins had to pee so we stopped in at the church where her mother volunteered, so she could use the bathroom. While she was in the bathroom my other cousins and I traded what we were riding. I, unfortunately, was stuck with

On February 22, 2015, I lost my ability to walk. Of course, it was only temporary. The night before, I fractured the third, fourth, and fifth metatarsals in my right foot. Granted, this was nearly inevitable as the cause of the incident emerged from sheer imbecility; I was in a five-dollar store with two friends, decided to join them in attempting to ride the penny boards, fell, and fractured my foot. Admittedly, the simple act of fracturing a bone is rather insignificant, especially for an individual who doesn't participate in sports or strenuous activity, but my temporary disability allowed me to reflect on my priorities and improve myself.

In life there are a lot of things that can happen to the people that you love and care about. The way you react to these tough times can change your perspective on life. In order to move past rough times, you need to look towards the future, and think about all the good and get rid of the bad. You have to be thankful for what you have, rather than what you do not have.

If their is one thing I can tell anyone going through a rough time or at a hard spot in their life is that everything happens for a reason. If you live by that and always have that in the back of your mind that your life will change

It has been said that life can never be carried out and truly lived to its fullest unless there has been some sort of suffering and pain. Mistakes are to be learned from, and a hard past can only result in a stronger present. Though many might find themselves alone in their misery the truth is they are not, everyone has struggles. We all have our ups and downs, but it is how we react to them that truly matters. Life is life and no matter what, giving up on lifelong dreams and aspirations because of a few bumps in the road should never be an option.
