Character Traits Of Overcoming Adversity

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” Joshua 1:9. Adversity is what comes to mind when reading this verse. The Book of Joshua teaches us to accept the good things God provides for us; things like adversity, suffering, and perseverance. I chose this verse because God chose for me to go through something so horrifying at the age of seventeen. It is natural to ask God “why me” in a time of hardship that never think about the purpose he has for us. How can adversity and suffering be a good thing? Because learning to overcome something is what builds your character. It turns you into the person God created you to be; and you find ways

Overcoming adversity is hard, but these people survived the toughest obstacles that life could throw at you. Adversity is something everyone goes through, but these are extraordinary cases of what people went through.This crowd of people overcame adversity in three ways, only caring about what they thought, being creative, and facing their problems.

An example where the proper attitude and fortitude led to success, in the face of adversity, is in Reginald Rose’s Twelve Angry Men. These traits are mainly possessed by juror eight. The situation he faces, is that he must convince eleven other men of a young boys innocence, all of which believe that the boy is guilty of killing his father. In the beginning of the story, as soon as all of the jurors got settled, they took a vote on whether the boy was guilty or not. The result was eleven to one in favor of guilty. Juror eight was the only voter on the side of not guilty, for which he was ridiculed, causing him to say, “There were eleven votes for ‘guilty.’ It’s not easy for me to to raise my hand and send a boy off to die

Before getting back up after you fall you have to gather all your strength and push whatever made you fall harder.Every time you fall the same solution might not work so you have to be stubborn and keep an attitude that tells your challenger Try your best shot, and that if you fall you won’t be gone for long.People overcome obstacles in less than three ways the three ways are by keeping a positive attitude, being determined, and lastly being a creative problem solver.

I believe I have a very durable character and it allows me to be who I am. I possess strong determination and perseverance qualities. When a goal is set, I don’t ever stop trying to attain it, despite how long it might take. Reaching a goal that you have put so much hard work into makes it all the more gratifying. I also like being very organized and efficient so I am able to complete all of my tasks in a timely and effective fashion. My true character showcases best when someone is in need of nurturing. It is at that point where I set my own personal dilemmas aside to be their shoulder to lean on. This really went into effect when a little over two years ago my best friend of ten years experienced the sudden and tragic loss of her father. Since I was one of the closest people to her, I was always there comforting and reassuring her that everything was going to be okay. That tragedy brought out my true, selfless character because it did not matter where I was, or what I was doing, if she needed me, I was there to support her

My parents came to the United States 19 years ago with two young kids in their arms. While neither possessed a high school diploma and both spoke non-fluent English, they had the determination to work more than 50 hours a week to make ends meet. In a way, I believe that I have inherited their determination in order to achieve my goals in the face of adversity. While I was growing up as an Asian-American student some of the struggles I faced were a language barrier and sometimes even discrimination. Later, in my academic career as a first-generation college student, I had fears of the unknown and the unfamiliar.

I didn’t know my dad and mom. When I was three years old, I moved to Vietnam where my first memories weren’t of my parents, but instead, my aunt and uncle. As my parents were across the world in Vancouver, I lived in Vietnam, unaware of their existence. I didn’t know I was born in Canada or that my auntie and uncle were not my parents during the time. Growing up, I faced obstacles of identity, creating connections and being a part of a community. The support I have received growing up has brought me invaluable opportunities and experiences. Despite my adversity, the challenges I encountered have taught me important skills that have made into the person I am today.

the strength to see it through in the worst of times will ultimately define your character. Physical

I believe that everyone should be interactive with their family. I’m really close to my family, and I trust them with all of my thoughts. My family has always been there for me no matter what happens. My family makes me the center of their attention. They always try to go to my sporting events and always tell me that I do well to build my confidence up.

My most outstanding quality is my ability to handle adversity. Adversity is something that comes at different times and in different sizes. One common theme is that adversity/obstacles always happen when you do not expect it. My ability to take obstacles as they come and handle them responsibly and in a mature manner, is what makes me a strong person/leader. My characteristic that I perceive as my personal weakness is being too closed off. I do not make decisions using my emotions, instead I use logic and reasoning. This is not always a good thing when dealing with people, and it is something that I am capable of working on and improving. In my experience, being closed off is not something you change in a blink of an eye. In order to compensate

When working in a team environment, adversity is something you can't get around. No matter what your task is, there is nearly no way to not work with adversity. You will either be working with other people or, as odd as it may sound, with yourself. Working with other people is he easiest part, because as many people know, your worst enemy can be yourself.

Just when everything's going your way, it can change in a blink of an eye. Even when things don’t go your way, you can’t give up. This is a story about my experience about overcoming adversity, and not giving up.

For the majority of my life I’ve lived in San Francisco, right across the street from AT&T park. I’ve seen cities and towns all across America and I consider myself to be very lucky to have grown up in a place like San Francisco. Now that I’m older I realize that I’ve been able to have unique experiences that many people elsewhere may never be able to do. For example, some sunny days I would ride my bike or skateboard to the ferry building or fisherman's wharf with my dog. I also remember going to a secret spot at the baseball park with my granddad where we could watch a game really close to the players without going in the park. Sometimes I go to Crissy Field with my mom where we can easily catch fresh crabs with a net. My point is I’m

If you were a famous athlete dealing with adversity, how would you handle it? Adversity is any obstacle you have in life, it could be a disability, it could be a fear of something, or it could be a lot of different things. Many people around you could have some type of adversity. Both famous athletes and non-famous people can have adversity, but how are they different? How are they similar? Who would it be harder to be? I believe that being a famous athlete with adversity would be harder than being a non-famous person with adversity.

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
