Challenges And Choices That We Make Us Grow As A Person

I have overcome lots of obstacles in my life. They weren't the easiest to overcome, but I did it. There is one obstacle I had to go through which made me a strong individual mentally and physically. I lived in New Jersey for my entire life. I grew up there, I had all of my family and friends in Jersey. I was sure my future was going to rely in Jersey. During 7th grade, I got the news that we were going to move to North Carolina. I was thrilled to move to another state. As each day passed, I thought how I would have to start in a new school and make new friends. Every time it struck me knowing that I would have to start a new life. I was nervous not knowing what would happen to my future. I wanted to stay in New Jersey because I was scared of

In life there will be a lot of obstacles. Some obstacles just come out of nowhere, and some you may bring upon yourself. But without struggle you will not learn how to take care of yourself. Life is not always fare, you have to take the good with the bad. Be strong and keep moving. You will get there eventually if you stay focused.

Life is like an obstacle course, you run into multiple obstacles on the way to the finish line, and there's no telling how many hindrances you may encounter. Very few people can go their whole life without obstacles along the way, others can’t seem to get away from them, but with every obstacle comes a beneficial or deleterious concomitant.

Everyone has different aspects of life that come with multiple obstacles. As many think they aren’t able to overcome and moving fourth, believing they will fall apart and behind everyone else. Most of mankind has experience some type of obstacles and we all have a wide arrangement on how to cope and overcome. The truth is, we only see challenges and obstacles when we take our eyes off the goal. Every goal has a challenges but once we overcome the world becomes bigger.

Life is not always a straight path, and most of the time there are ridiculous obstacles in the way. Individuals handle life differently than others. Certain people handle problems badly, but others handle problems just fine. Some acceptable ways people overcome adversity is by embracing differences, having a positive attitude, and persevering to get through the obstacles/problems.

Obstacles, in life you will face them more than once or twice. Some perceive obstacles as an inconvenience keeping them away from their goal. However, keeping a positive mindset towards any obstacle you face will help you become a strong person. I had viewed obstacles as negatives during a difficult ski race, only to later realize that they had made me into a stronger person.

Adversity is significant to us in order to become a superior person. I learned that situations and hardships can be difficult, but never let them define who you are and the person you want to be. All of my life experiences have affected my life in many ways. I have transformed for the good and bad, but you have to develop as an individual and find yourself. The obstacles have been difficult, but never stopped me from becoming myself. Adversity should never stop us, but yet it should challenge us for the better. I handle adversity by rising and never settling, how do

The car ride up to the local cemetery in a small town in New Jersey was as silent as the ghost of my great-aunt herself- empty and bleak. I only assumed that everyone around me was clinging onto the past memories we shared with her, feeling the shock of what we could no longer turn the pages of time back to. I could not fully imagine how my dad must have felt that somber day. He would often reminisce about the tender moments he shared with her as a spirited youth with the rest of the family, his voice always springing to life when he spoke of the past. Sitting in the back of the car, I glanced at him in the driver’s seat, peering at his eyes to notice how he seemed to be staring into another place of existence that was left untouchable to the rest of my family.

In life, obstacles are there to help develop someone for the better. In my experience, things don't always go the way one expects. Growing up with my parents being the happiest they could be, to instantly becoming separated wasn't very easy to cope with. I'm sure the mistakes that were made are remorseful now, but I have accustomed myself to becoming a self reliant person. My dad was a liar and a felon, and I had no clue. When I was about to turn 15 around the holidays, my dad was detained for possession of a controlled substance. Watching my mom trying to justify his actions was what agonized me most. The whole incident wasn't what challenged me in life, but learning to live my life without my dad, as if I never had one to begin with, was

Tears blurred my vision as I listened to the dial tone. I thought my friend was dead. I had experienced immense grief after my dad and grandfather passed away, but nothing could prepare me for the tremendous heartache, anger, and regret I experienced on that warm Monday afternoon.

"Grandma's gone!", the voice cried from the other end of the phone. It was one of those days that would always be engraved in my memory, one that I would not forget. I had just lost the most important person in my life and I didn't even get to say, "Good-bye." "BOOM!", the floor rang out; I plummeted to my knees and the tears streamed down my face. Loud footsteps scurried across the floor to tend to me.

I stared at my dad's name on the screen and felt too heavy to answer. He had been tasked with being the one to break the news to me again, as he had previously done only a couple of months before when he called to tell me that his dad, my grandfather had died. But, now this was for a family friend who had been present in my life consistently since I was still in elementary school. My dad's voice was flat and the conversation felt awkward as I stumbled over

On the night of her farewell, my family felt apart as we pick up the phone. My brothers deep voice trying not to break, it announces the arrived of death, again. Through the phone he

I slowly walked towards the house, my heart was pounding like the beat of a drum, knowingly of what was about to happen. I looked at my watch, 10:05 the time read. I opened the door as I reluctantly entered my house. Tears started to fill my eyes as my family stares at me. My Aunt handed me the telephone as I slowly put it into my grasp. I moved the phone up to my ear and listened, but there was only silence.

“Nothing upon earth is without its difficulties! It is the secret impulse within, it is the love and the delight we feel, that helps us to conquer obstacles, to clear out new paths, and to overleap the bounds of that narrow circle in which others poorly toil,” Johann Goethe. Obstacles in life are unavoidable, as expressed in the above quote, but we can still learn from them. Barriers can primarily help you develop the capabilities to do everyday things. Furthermore, everyday challenges can help spice up your life. At the same time, bumps in the road can help you to be able to achieve your future plan. Obstacles are important to overcome as they give your life skills, prepare you for the future, as well as make your life more interesting.
