Face Everything And Rise

Why do difficult challenges exist? There seems to be no point in hardships, they just cause pain and sorrow. But after a hardship, everything seems brighter, you are grateful for everything and your eyes are opened to a completely different perspective. Hardships are challenging but after overcoming hardships, you will be satisfied with excellent results.

Hardships are a permanent part of life we will always come across. They can toughen us up to the world we live in.

Life isn't worth living if you are not willing to accept the challenges thrown your way. How I grew up wasn't easy. It, instead, was rousing from being adopted out of China, learning a new culture, to facing some hindrance. Nevertheless, I couldn't have done this on my own. With the help of God all things are possible.

When I look back to why many of my friends died, I recollect how they said they could not handle life anymore. These wonderful, astounding, and kind people went out expecting to find more exceptional people yet, they were sadly disappointed. They went out and found a cruel world. An unfair world, one where dreams don’t always come true; Why? Simply because that is life. Sometimes no matter how hard you work you may never reach where you desire to be. There is always going to be someone bigger and/or better than you; that is the devastating reality of life. I believe the way we instruct children, that everything is fine and dandy in life; that if you try hard enough, you can be whatever you want to be is simply giving them false hope, and maybe that needs to change.

I take a look at the list of endless expectations handed to me by my parents and shredded them. Let them push those expectations onto my sister; I don’t care. If my parents wanted those things done, they should’ve tried to do it themselves. My sisters grew up spoiled. I was born to set precedents that were meant to be trampled on if they surpassed me. It may seem cruel, but this is what keeps the world spinning. Because it is a game of survival of the fittest, a crude battle royale game, only the best excel. This is the method to keep some smiling and laughing without a care in the world while others are constantly sacrificing and giving up. Some strike lucky and become the predators instead of the prey. This is why no matter where you are or whatever situation you are in, you should lift your head up and look forward for the possible future of brighter

Life has up's and down's but you can get through because people come together to help. For instance, in the book Fever, 1793, the Free African Society went around to help the yellow fever victims. The doctors thought the Africans were immune to the disease because hardly any Africans died. When people come together, like the Africans helping the victims, you can get through it. You can get through it when people come together, because everyone starts working together instead of avoiding the

When people go through something difficult it can change them. Making them who they are, it can change them for the bad or good. Therefore, hardships can greatly influence a person’s life by making them appreciate all the things that make life enjoyable.

Adversity is essential in development as one must learn to assess situations, attempt to fix problems, and become dependent on one’s self. At birth, adults immediately care for babies to make sure they are fed, get enough sleep, and are protected from harm. As they grow up, parents begin to encourage independence having their children try to walk and talk without help. These first attempts often end in failure but as they practice these skills become an essential part of their lives. Eventually all of these skills will build on top of each other and allow people to go from depending on their parents for everything to having a child of their own to take care of. Human life is a series of guess and check as people try to figure out how they are supposed to be living their lives.

Tragedies are a big reason in growing up, there are life lessons, like the lesson “Don’t live

Hardships have the power to make a break a person, as Roman poet, Horace, once said, “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant”. Everyone has or will have to face adversity at some point in their lives, it is a universal truth. Although misfortunes usually have a negative connotation, depending on the struggle and how one deals with it, it is likely the person will come out of misfortune better prepared for the world. Contrastly, if a person never experienced any hardships, they would lack a sophisticated understanding of the world and lack the ability to handle difficult situations. Adversity gives people strength they can not obtain with success.

If a person can learn from their past suffering, he or she can handle strenuous circumstances. Children need to learn at an early age to know life is not easy and not everything is going to be rewarded when they participate in an activity. Doing his or her best and working hard is going give them the ability to conquer their goals in life. “...suffering and conditionally granting awards...prepare children for real life and teach him or her resilience”(Gonchar 1). At a young age, children have been granted rewards for just showing up, but giving a child a reward which they did not not earned can cause them to see that life is easy and it will become easier when they have grown up. Facing adversity in their daily lives allows one to accept not everything is given to him or her for just showing up. Gene and Phineas know that life is not pretty in the time when a war is going on halfway around the world, but the world war happening in another country does not stop them from working hard each day to live their lives. Their suffering happened in their homes, but their future was not easily gained. Life is not always fair and children need to learn that at an early age, so he or she do not become weak in difficult situations. Everyone needs to know how to figure out life’s problems and accepting suffering that life throws at us will help us with

One of the greatest challenges I had to face was my transition from Haiti to the United States. During that transition, I was faced with a lot of adversity. It varied from fitting in, academic struggles and remaining focus. Throughout all the trials and tribulations that came with it, I was able to be resilient. In my own words, to be resilient is to allow challenges to impact me in a positive way where at the end I can say I am an overcomer.

“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful” -Joshua J. Marine. If you face a trouble/hardship in life and you find a way to overcome them, life will teach you a valuable lesson. Ponyboy faces many deaths/troubles in his life; when he figured out how to get over them, he benefits tremendously. S.E. Hinton focuses on the topic of: everyone goes through hardships, it’s how you deal with them that teach you a greater lesson in life.

There are things that happen when we are growing up that change us when we are grown. There are things that change us forever. Every human being is different, and there is a reason why . All of us had a childhood and all kinds of experiences some good, some bad, some full of joy but also others very painful. Eventually we grow childhood and mature depending of what we have gone through. The way we are able to handle situations is very important because one thing leads to another. We can't rely on intuition, we need to have logic in what our choices are. We can’t just punch someone in the face just because we don’t like a certain individual, or go up to

Life is something that requires a considerable amount of physical and mental effort. Some are fortunate enough to have everything prepared for them. Such as some are born into money; some come across good fortune yet most work hard from the start to get some where in the world. It just all depends on how you were brought into this world. For some people, life is full of stress and hardships. That’s how life was for someone very dear to me. He had it difficult from the start. However he chose not to let life get him down. When life gave him lemons, he made lemonade.
