Ashley is a young woman like many in today’s society born in 1985 to a single, teenage mother. However, her story is a success story. Therefore, she survived, although all odds were stacked against her. Due to her mother’s inability to provide for her, the Florida Foster Care System was her home from the tender age of 3 until her adoption at the age of twelve. During that decade, she resided in 14 different foster homes along with her brother. During this period, her brother and other children endured an abusive life which included beatings with a wooden paddle, starvation, made to drink homemade hot sauce, molestation and verbal abuse which led Ashley and her brother to attend a different school each time their foster home changed. She witnessed the tragedy of her uncle being shot and she experienced her own tragedy when thrown from a moving vehicle.

The push to keep training and maintaining the discipline of a Basketball player despite the initial rejection makes Michael Jordan iconic. He knew that the way to the top would not be easy, but he was determined to do all it takes to get there. This shows that no one who truly wants to make a mark should think that life is a bed of roses. There is something to overcome; there are disciplines to maintain if we want to get to great heights. We can overcome obstacles like a genius when we pattern our lives to do the things that geniuses do.

Greatness is, the quality of being great, eminent, or distinguished. Lewis and Clark, the leaders of the Corps of Discovery, can be described perfectly with the word greatness. The Corps of Discovery was a unit made by the U.S Army and tasked to explore and claim the land to the west. Fortunately, the Corps of Discovery had mapped and discovered the new land they had acquired, but also much more. President Jefferson ordered U.S. Captain Meriwether Lewis to be the leader of this exploration.

This is how I remind myself that I must look at the story of Chris McCandless. Chris needed to escape, he sought something that is unfathomable to those who do not have similar inclinations. Something that seems beyond reckless and self-involved to me. But it was his nature. Chris was restless, anxious and full of ambition. However, much to my dismay his ambition was not tangible in the way of success in a career or fulfillment with other people. He wanted something else entirely. His nature was to adventure. He could not help it. It was who he was.

Through his own example, he teaches and shows us us how to break stereotypes, dream big and ambitiously, re-examine the perspective on traditional patterns and concepts, and believe in the hidden potential of our bodies and the limitless power of the mind. “In the end of the day, it is not even really achieving the goal, it is also that journey getting there. Let’s say you want to climb the mountain, it is not really getting to the top, but to get the impossible object, and then the Training, the Time, the Courage, the Risks, the Failure -all that stuff it is what’s amazing in everything” (What’s Possible Part

So how does one become this great? The question can be answered in many ways, and point of views but all stems from

What does it take to be extraordinary? To be extraordinary means to make a name in the world, and in order to accomplish that, one must have ambition: a strong desire to achieve goals. Some goals are much harder to obtain, but none are unattainable when wielding a strong will and ambition. Ambition unites people from many different backgrounds by providing them with a common goal; an American journalist chronicling Indian poverty during the 1960s, an author of contemporary fiction, and President Donald Trump all share this strong drive-- ambition. No matter the time, the topic, the geographic locale, ambition pushes individuals who strive for success. So, why not simply package that trait and market it to those who want a quick path to achievement?

Storytelling is a method of transmitting an idea from one person to another. The rabbis depict this story for the purpose of explaining and trying to justify the relationship between God and Jerusalem. This excerpt is symbolic because it uses Hadrian, the most powerful person during that particular era deriving his power from God. This lifts up the deity to supreme power and proves that God is sovereign over the universe. God decides the fate of Jerusalem and therefore Hadrian only defeats the Jewish people because it is will of god. This gives an alternate meaning behind the wealth and power that Rome controls. Hadrian proclaiming “I have conquered Jerusalem with great power” and Rabbi Johanan Ben Zakaki stating “Do not boast. Had it been

The meaning of this story is that the author wants us to know what is happening and who everyone is. Also, the author wants us to know that in the beginning that everyone can be late for work or just a little

Many people tell stories to inform others about themselves. Throughout my life people in my family have told me many stories, and behind each story there is a purpose. The stories I was told growing up were about experiences that people in my family have had or things that I have done. These stories mean a lot to me because through these stories different family members reveal many things about themselves. They want me to understand their ideas, beliefs, or feelings about a certain subject. They want people to praise or admire what they have done or accomplished. Funny stories are told to humor or embarrass someone, usually me. Other stories express that we are not alone in the world, and there are other people,

Once upon a time, there was a guy named Dylan Fraser. The night before he had dreams that he was in space, and God had given him a vision that he would be a hero and rescue someone. He thought it was fake. He thought of his self as someone who is not capable to do great things. But with that vision in mind, he continued to try to live out the dream, but it never felt right and that he was trying too hard. So the next day, he had given little effort into anything. That got him into trouble so he decided to try just enough to be a great person, but not trying so hard he was trying too hard.

One of the reading and studying literature is to come to realization that there are words of wisdom found in the works that still hold true for today's reader. Although times change, basic human nature does not. Because of this, a reader can find words in literary works that reasonable with him in their relevance to his life. An example of this appears in First knight when king Arthur states " Only a fool wants what he cannot have."
