As a teenage there are not many obstacles that have faced, but there are a few. One obstacles that I have overcame in my life was the death of my aunt. During my junior year in october one of my aunt's passed away during her mother's birthday dinner. One minute we were eating and then the next we were at the hospital. It was so unexpected to say the least. This was the first death in our family in 18 years and none of us new how to cope with this sudden loss. I had never felt this grief or loss for someone ever in my life. I had to learn how to grieve and continue on. A similar thing happened when my uncle died last year. I had to be able to grieve and move on because I had so much to do with my everyday life and school.
Young people can
A major obstacle that I faced was overcoming the abuse that I suffered and getting help for it. My father was physically, sexually, mentally, and abusive towards me, my sister, and my mom. This impacted me in many ways as you can imagine. I was traumatized, and I hid it until I was fourteen and was sent to rehab. I began to act out in many ways to try and cope with, but it ended up backfiring and causing me a lot more problems. I was kicked out of two schools one was White Station and the second one Lausanne Collegiate School. I was let back in to Lausanne because I received help and overcame it. The reason I am telling you this is because I have survived all of this and I have become a different person. I acted out in drugs and alcohol along with skipping
The first obstacle had to face are my parent divorce. When this obstacle happened I was depressed and not do that good in school. My aunt had to take to with her friend that was an therapist I only went for one day, when it finish the therapy I realized that my life is not over just for a dilema. I was more relief and more ambitious to do all my work and pass all of my classes. The second obstacle is that I would struggle at school is turning in my work late when it was due the next day. Then, I had to overcome it by, making an agenda to keep my work on track and test to study for the agenda really helped me alot. My last dilemma is that I would work during school because me and my family depend on my dad sending money when sometime he wouldn't send us money. Me and my bigger sister would always try to find a job to help my mom to pay bills etc. Another obstacle is trying my best to have good grade and study in a correct way. I try to keep up my grade but sometimes it's hard. I sometimes
My biggest obstacle was August 1, 2005 when our apartment building caught fire. My Mother, Brother, Sister, and I were home, it was the most distressing thing I've ever had to encounter. The night of my Aunt's birthday a fire started and the smoke made me feel as if I was drowning. My cousin Kendrick Weber woke me up, because I wasn't waking up when my sister tried. He pulled me out through the window and my forehead
An obstacle I have overcome in my life is school. In school I have to work a little bit harder than others so i don’t fall behind. My choice to try harder helped me to keep going.If I didnt choose to work harder and keep going i would never get anywhere in life. I think having to work harder than others pushes me to be my best and makes me a stronger person.
Life is a series of obstacles. As a person who likes to be in control, it is very stressful when I lose my grip on a situation. When I was in middle school, my younger brother was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Out of panic and desperation, I began to look for ways to cure him. As I realized the seriousness of the situation and the futile nature of my activities, I became extremely frustrated. With my family in turmoil and my brother the focus of my parents' attention, I looked for an outlet to quell my nervous energy.
It is 2016, a lot of things have happened this year. There has been shootings, police brutality, an increase in minority deaths, the killing of animals due to human encounters, terrorist acts, and so many more. Over the past couple of years, I have noticed a tremendous decrease in hope. I have seen that each year that passes, the people of the world turn against each other. They try to eliminate and destroy one another which in most times leaves them in agony. Today all the media covers everything bad going around and I, with honest truth, believe that this affects the people of the future. It decreases happiness and increases hatred and negativity. It is 2016, not enough people have hope nor positivity for the world. I have no idea if the
During my adolescent years, I felt like I never had a voice, so I would quietly stand on the side while I watched others be someone I could not be. It began in childhood where I didn't have many chances to be vocal. I was surrounded by people who overpowered my voice. For example, my father didn't like anybody being opinionated around him. Personally, I believed my father didn't want any woman to have a voice. My dad was born in Haiti, so I just assumed this was how all Haitian fathers behaved because of the Haitian culture. It wasn't until I compared him to my friends' fathers who were nice, kind, and very respectful with their daughters. I thought it was common for a father to be aggressive, verbally abusive, and intimidating. When I look
Each individual possesses a story with experiences so powerful that it has given them the opportunity to grow into a stronger person and uncover their true character.
Growing up as a female Latina, my parents always told me that no matter what obstacles I face in life, my education will always be there to support me. People expect me not to make it far in life because of my ethnicity and the background I come from. My parents never got the chance to go to college, that only motivated me to want to show them that all their hard work to make sure I get a good education is not going to waste. Just because my parents did not go and neither did anyone else in my family, most are doubtful that I will not make it either but I am pushing to prove all those people wrong.
The biggest obstacle I have ever faced is still fresh in my mind. It was not an obstacle conquerable in days or weeks, but years. A gray cloud over my consciousness. Comparable to a perpetual race in knee deep mud. Allow me to elaborate on the sorrowful mood I am trying to set. I was taken from my home when I was eleven. This marked the last time I saw my God Dad, and as for my God Mom she had sadly passed away due to cancer a few years before this point. My sister and I slept on the floor in a DHS office most of the night after we had been removed from our home. At some point during the same night we were taken and put in separate homes for the time being. It is a horrible feeling to be surrounded by unfamiliar people and places without any concern for what you want. The
One of the biggest obstacles that I have struggled with for the majority of my teenage years has been staying healthy, both emotionally and physically. In school, I struggled with saying no to new opportunities when my plate was likely already too full to begin with, which would lead to stress, exhaustion, and eventually emotional instability. I spent the vast majority of the rest of my time completing homework or working at a local diner, leaving myself with virtually no time for self-reflection, exercise, or to prepare healthy meals. During my first year at the University of South Carolina, my goal is to be healthy, in every aspect of the word. To accomplish this, which doesn’t happen overnight, I am going to create a schedule for my week
Everybody in this world has disadvantages and obstacles throughout life, however those disadvantages and obstacles can be turned into something good. Disadvantages can vary , whether you play sports , or you’re an actor. You can make that disadvantage your determination to prove people wrong, and let them know you can succeed with or without disadvantages.
In an instant you can lose something or someone that meant a lot to you. To others it may not seem to be all that significant but for you it is. It was in the summer of 2011 that I saw my dreams go down the drain in an instant, not knowing if I would be able to resurrect them. Sports wise I had been through many obstacles, but this was one obstacle, both mentally and physically, that I would never forget.
I am a determined woman paying for my fresh start out of pocket by working full time and attending school to become a RN. Always being independent and working hard from a young age helping to support my single parent household. The obstacles I overcame by being low income, helping my father recoup after having several surgeries, and health problems, plus my health problems. Yet, I have kept my grades up, having nearly perfect attendance in work and school my whole life.
The most significant challenge I have face in my life was the ending of 6 grade why because that the time I found out my dad was dying. He was my best friend the only parent that if I have had a problem with in school he would be the
