Obstacles are hard to overcome but the only thing really stopping people is fear. There are two people, Andrew and Katie, who had huge obstacles coming their way. One of them may have a bigger obstacle, but they both overcome it. Andrew had to deal with public speaking, and Katie had to deal with basketball. Either way, they both had to overcome it and succeeded. Introducing Andrew, he had a bigger problem that had to do with public speaking, he hated it. To start his day, Mr. Taylor, his teacher, chose him to read in front of the whole class, announcing that there will be a public speaking competition. He was absolutely scared and wished for rampaging elephants, road closing blizzards, or flying to South America, but that didn’t stop him from practicing a speech he made.

Katie's on the basketball team, the only problem was that she would always be on the bench. Her team won most of their games, but she didn’t care because she never helped. A girl on her team named Julia Jones, would always tease her or make fun of her, for instance, one-time Julia said, "Good job, you're good at keeping the bench warm." During one of their games, some of her teammates got injured, and the day when Katie finally gets to play came. She got very close to winning, but she could choose if she wanted to pass the ball to Julie or to shoot the ball herself. That decision she made was to pass the ball and they won the game, Katie was then proud of herself for playing and

I have faced many obstacles in my life and have been through many 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 with others so I can finally prove myself to my peers and teachers. I stumbled through my pre-audition and wasn’t able to audition and that killed me inside. I practiced so hard to not be able to audition. Although I was never any good I decided to

Starting my second semester in Modern I, I was really excited to see what new things I would learn and what new goals I needed to set for myself.

The two goals that I set included, getting stronger in my inversions and watching the alignment of my hip.

In my culture, society looks down at mental illness and when news of mental illness gets out in the society, one’s reputation is pretty much destroyed. My elder brother, Imran, was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was a teenager. My family was still living in Bangladesh at the time and my brother’s illness was treated as a secret by my parents. My parents went above and beyond to hide my brother’s illness because we come from a culture that is quick to condemn parents for their children being abnormal, my family felt very protective of the fact that we had mental illness in our family. Family visitation and guests in our home were strictly monitored by my mother and my siblings and I were coached to make excuses for my brother. My brother’s illness shaped me as a person because I realized that I needed to be able to overcome the obstacles life throws in my way in order to take care of my family.
I have had to face many obstacles in my life. I have learned that every obstacle can either make you stronger or brake you. If overcoming the obstacle were easy, everyone would do it quickly and without any difficulties. It is the joy of overcoming the obstacles that makes everything so much worth it. In my case every obstacle has had a purpose. Three unforgettable obstacles that I have overcome are my childhood, an abusive domestic violent relationship, and jail time.

As a child, I dreamed of becoming a nurse. However, my strong repugnance of blood and needles made a nursing career highly implausible. I had never set any logical career goals. Even if I had, the pursuit of any goal would have had to be put on hold, as I became pregnant at the age of seventeen. When my children were still very young, I thought about pursuing a teaching career and decided to enroll in college; however, my college days were short lived, as I was a single mother of three sons. My middle son faced learning challenges and I felt the need (and desire) to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom and focus on the needs of my children. When they got a little bit older and started
