How To Overcome Obstacles

August 27th, Sometimes you just to need to know the facts, and at other times, you will need to put on your best act.

No one has really did through what i have been through other if they did they had a different solution but it fits for me because it was a big obstacle in my life.I wanted to have a better life for me and my brother I was tired of taking care of everybody but myself the definition in the dictionary is a thing that blocks one's way or prevents or hinders progress.And it was true i was letting everybody else hold me down i was no longer a innocent little girl i felt like i was a mom i took care of so many kids when i was a kid myself.It was a huge obstacle in my life letting go of the hurt i felt because i didn’t have a childhood i was suppose to have but i learned to forgive those mistakes that i had to suffer from and now i can move on with

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” (Albert Einstein)

There is so much suffering people have to deal with in this world. I believe we are given an obstacle we have to overcome. It just depends on the person’s inner strength and will to not give up and keep trying. Nancy proves this to be true she is different from others in her condition especially how she refers to herself as a cripple. Throughout the essay she writes about her experience and her journey with MS. The way she goes about it makes her readers not feel bad for her but to feel proud for her because she has not given up. Its shows us that she’s accepted the obstacle given to her and she is not giving up even knowing her illness doesn’t have a cure.

Throughout everyone's lifetime, one will confront an obstacle. Obstacles can obstruct or hinder one’s process. Most of the time obstacles have a negative a affect on people because of how difficult they can be. Not making a team, loss of a loved one, loss of a job are some examples of common obstacles that occur to many people. Obstacles are barriers that block people from pursuing what they want to do. They are present in every journey of our life, no matter how big or small. The importance of overcoming obstacles is learning new skills, determination and creating new opportunities.

The obstacle that I faced fits in my definition, because it shows that if I was never able to face that at the time I wouldn’t be able to go and play for teams. If I never knew how not to be scared in basketball games, and not freeze up during games too, I wouldn’t be able to play for teams. So that was an obstacle that I had to overcome, because if I didn’t I knew that I probably wouldn’t be able to play the sport the I love. The reason why I feel like this was an important obstacle was that I could play with friends, but I wouldn’t be knowledgeable of what I would be doing.

The wheelchair exercise was a great group experience, as it allowed us to truly understand what it feels like to be disabled or physically challenged by forcing us to put ourselves in the shoes of a disabled or physically challenged person for a few hours. During our wheelchair training at the Rehabilitation Centre, the exercises did not seem as difficult to do in comparison to when these training techniques where put to the actual test outside. Some difficulties we encountered were trying to push the wheelchair in a straight path. Due to the tilted sidewalks, moving straight forward was rather difficult. Also, with the tilted sidewalks and recent weather conditions in our assigned observation site, the grass on the side of the sidewalks were

“Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.” Every once and awhile we will get our boots stuck in the challenges that we will have to trudge through to become stronger. Truly, we don't grow when things are easy or non-chaotic, rather we sprout into a growing tree when there is a rain storm. Life throws us overboard at every twist and turn so we have to batten down the hatches. Not only that, but we also seem to fall deeper into a bottomless pit when we attempt to take the shorter path. Overall, we have all faced challenges within our life, whether from a problem at home, to losing a soccer game. A maze that is endless, quick sand that swallows you whole; can both describe a challenge.

Something in my life that I think goes unnoticed is my ability to overcome obstacles that get in my way. I learned at a very young age how to deal with serious events and problems. My life hasn’t been easy and the fact that I am alive is a miracle. On March 15, 1998, my parents were on their way home from a business trip when they were hit by a drunk driver just miles from home. My mother was also 32 weeks pregnant with me at that time and we were not expected to make it. My dad broke his arm, while my mom suffered a horrific traumatic brain injury and other major physical injuries. She had to learn everything all over again. Growing up with a mentally and physically disabled mom was extremely difficult. She would do weird things and get angry

The lessons we take from obstacle we encounter can be fundamental to later success. We always are faced with challenges but the only way to overcome them is if we face them head on. Something that challenges me everyday is my sister. My sister was diagnosed with Epilepsy in early June of 2016. My family has to deal with this everyday for the rest of our lives.

“If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward”, a renowned statement by Martin Luther King expressing his notion of perseverance. This quote is suitable for all individuals. Upon reflection many of us here today, can relate to this idea to persist and to not stand still as we are faced with obstacles. Personally, myself and family have been faced with hardships, and at times it was difficult to proceed. We have two options: to surrender, and subsist, or to persevere, and truly succeed.

I agree with you that everyone is busy now. We should respect every team member and appreciate their time. The online course is more difficult to communicate. It is better to discuss the project and assigned tasks in the beginning, which gives a clear idea to everyone. A tool like, Doodle, helps everyone understand their responsibility and everyone can check the process and dates.

As Voltaire once said “ No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking” and with the help of Google, I am pretty positive I have at least a little understanding of what this quote’s purpose is. As we live our lives, we are faced with obstacles to overcome to accomplish certain  goals we are after. When these obstacles or problems arise we have to stop and think about  how to solve the issue to be able to move past the issue, and continue to work towards our goals.

Another line that caught my eye was that “achievement consists of never giving up.” This as well stuck with me because the best things in life, like education, are not just handed to a person. One cannot give up. For example, becoming a lawyer, one must study and go to school in order to pass the bar examine. If you do not succeed at first try again. From when we are smaller we are always told to never give up. You cannot achieve your most desired goal in life without a challenge or struggle. One must work for what he or she wants, do not worry about what the next person is doing. Do what makes you happy. When Tzu mentions “he who tries to travel two roads at once and ends up nowhere,” I realized that one simply has to work for what he wants.

o prioritize school and be successful in my classes, I need to overcome my personal obstacle. I must learn how to manage my time wisely, dedicating the necessary amount of time at the end of a long work day to become active in the classes’ participation, and get done all my school assignments. I will work on managing my time even more as I continue in school. I will be using my planner and calendar and I will be organizing my time and prioritizing my assignments I will get done the more complex assignments first in this way I will not feel overwhelmed at the end of the week.
