Brick Walls In My Life

No matter what through life everyone is going to face failure and everyone is going to have to bounce back in a positive way. The one time I faced failure was when my golf team did not qualify for the state golf tournament. Even though for the past four years our golf program has qualified for this prestigious tournament. Three years of which I was on the varsity team for. So heading into my Senior year my team and I were all excited to face the season as if we never stopped from where we left off from last year. Leading up to the season I was playing every day and I was traveling around Ohio playing in Northern Ohio Junior PGA tournaments. I was playing some of the best golf of my life and couldn't wait for the season to start. Sadly I suffered

Obstacles and barriers are in our everyday life. But it is what we do and how we react that helps us grow. Some are small causing short disarray while others might change a person’s life. In my short seventeen years, I have found the most difficult obstacle I have had to encounter was my parents divorce. I was mere 10 years old when my parents separated. It definitely took a toll on me. Often times I felt cold, alone, and broken. My mother scooped me up and put me back together. Having my mom play the role of both a mother and father really opened my eyes. Growing up, I would see my mom break her back just to give us, her children, food, clothes, and a roof over our heads. But even when times would be so tough there was one thing that never

Throughout our lives, we are faced with many adversities. Whether they are failing an important math test, a family death, or even breaking up with a significant other. However, how we face our adversities. From these difficulties, we our now given opportunities to learn from our experiences. Our hardships in life are not situations that we can simply can overcome instantly. Instead, our adversities do become a part of us for a short while. Poet Jon Sinclair once said that “Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo.” I believe that this applies also to adversity. This quote points out that when we do face hard times, it is not a debilitating factor that sticks with us forever. Yes, the it is going to set us back some and cause trouble. However, as

like not being able to recognize failure, which results in the loss of purpose as well as the loss of willingness to improve. By not being able to deal with failure, one’s life can be put to a stop and lead them on a bad path. One must be able to recover from failure and see that failure is only a stepping stone to a better and brighter future. Failure is difficult to recover from and often leads to more failure, but it is not impossible to recover from. With resilience and drive, a person who understands what failure is, is able to conquer it.

Today, I eat lunch with friends, I find comfort in my clubs, and sometimes, I fail. When I lived in Florida, I never had to cope with failure, as everything came to me easily. What I know now is that failure is an unavoidable aspect of life, and I know I’ll encounter it wherever I end up. When I moved up the East Coast, I learned how to face failure head on and accept that there are days when I can’t be perfect. But I am now able to learn from my failures and keep them in mind when moving

Has there ever been a point in your life that made you feel like a failure? If you have ever felt this way, you are not alone. Several well-known people, such as Wilbur Wright and Steve Jobs, have dealt with adversity. Wilbur Wright and his brother created the first successful airplane, and it definitely was not easy. Steve Jobs was the founder of Apple, and dealt with many difficult events along the way. We have all had moments in life that we found difficult to overcome. When these events occur, we must choose to be resilient. When times get tough, resilience is key to overcoming adversity and achieving success.

Having an obstacle to overcome will happen at least one time in everyone's life. The obstacles may be small, large, mental, or physical, but if you find the right people to stick with you through it, you can overcome anything. That’s what was going through my mind when I read an inspiring article about a young man named Tim Harris.

I failed to reach the top of the rock climbing wall on the playground, and as a result, I have strived even harder to reach the peak of success in everything I do. Instead of becoming discouraged and disappointed in myself, I found a way to improve myself for my next challenge. Learning from my mistakes has molded me into an improved person while giving me the motivation to keep pushing forward. Failure has taught me the importance of learning from your errors and trying again, no matter how difficult it may be. Without lessons like these, I would not be the motivated, independent person that I am today. I will continue to fail and try again until I achieve my goal of reaching the

Debashish Mridha, an American physician, philosopher, poet, and author said, “Whatever happens in life happens to make you stronger. So fear not, accept it as a gift from the universe. Use the event to capture the essence of this journey we call life.” People get stronger from the journey not by reaching their destination. People should see that sometimes the journey is the best and most learning part of the trip not the destination. Everyone has a destinations that can include accomplishments, geographical destinations, death, the ultimate destination. Some learn and take the wisdom and experiences from the journey, and not the destination.

There are many things that can hold people back from goals that they are determined to accomplish. Despite these hardships and dilemmas that we face, if we have fight in us and the correct work ethic we are bound to succeed. I personally have faced my share of obstacles in my life and have been through plenty of hardships. However, I always overcome them in one way or another. For example, when I first walked the halls of Harlingen High School I entered as a shy but ambitions freshman with a lot of friends and unfortunately a lot of enemies. I was always put down due to play playing ability in band. I constantly tried to get better and better and that’s when freshman region auditions came along. I was excited to be able to actually compete

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something.But I can’t accept not trying.” We all have failed many times, but were able to get up. We learned that struggles are part of life and that struggling helps you get better on what you are trying to achieve. Conflicts will drag you down, but when you reach the top you while never give up.

“A hill is another chance to climb.” Failure effects everyone on Earth. The difference is that everyone responds to said failures in different ways. Since I was young, I faced roadblocks. The way I faced these failures are what defines me. Even though it is difficult, I try to learn something from each of them. A failure that truly taught me a valuable lesson was the end of my senior football season. The events and lessons that I took away from this failure will help guide me for the rest of my life.

If you overcome them, then basically, you become stronger. For instance, in “Stronger” Kelly demonstrates a few examples of obstacles from life, that are relatable “Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone” (line 16) and tells us that they are experiences in which we learn and get wiser from. This is similar to the story “the old man and the sea” in which the fisherman is motivating him every day to try harder and continue hoping. Basically, if the obstacles put you down, you've basically made no growth or progress. But if it doesn't kill you, you've grown

From time to time, in your pursuit of doing what you strive to do, there will be roadblocks or obstacles getting in the way of your success. Most people simply give up at that point, stop trying with the excuse of, “it’s not worth it,” or “it’s too hard.” If I had done that and quit at the first few obstacles, I would have never been able to come to the point that I am at today. If I hadn’t had the willpower and grit to do the things that I had done, then I might have still been an amateur swimmer, have barely any friends, and not have advanced as a mathematician. Overall, overcoming your fears, trusting yourself, and having the determination to pass anything in your way will result in a great amount of eminence, success, and contentment.
