Overcoming Adversity

Adversity will be overcome when one becomes brave , determined , and has the willingness to fail.As being born without a arm, baseball player Jim Abbott, had a long journey ahead of him.Or the brave runners who ran the Boston Marathon after two bombs went off at the finsh line. last year.Even Malala Yousafzai, a young who got shot in the head by the taliban because she thought that girls all girl should get an education.All of these people remember to maintain in control , be brave , and accept failure when overcoming adversity.

Overcoming adversity is hard, but these people survived the toughest obstacles that life could throw at you. Adversity is something everyone goes through, but these are extraordinary cases of what people went through.This crowd of people overcame adversity in three ways, only caring about what they thought, being creative, and facing their problems.

Before getting back up after you fall you have to gather all your strength and push whatever made you fall harder.Every time you fall the same solution might not work so you have to be stubborn and keep an attitude that tells your challenger Try your best shot, and that if you fall you won’t be gone for long.People overcome obstacles in less than three ways the three ways are by keeping a positive attitude, being determined, and lastly being a creative problem solver.

The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

I didn’t know my dad and mom. When I was three years old, I moved to Vietnam where my first memories weren’t of my parents, but instead, my aunt and uncle. As my parents were across the world in Vancouver, I lived in Vietnam, unaware of their existence. I didn’t know I was born in Canada or that my auntie and uncle were not my parents during the time. Growing up, I faced obstacles of identity, creating connections and being a part of a community. The support I have received growing up has brought me invaluable opportunities and experiences. Despite my adversity, the challenges I encountered have taught me important skills that have made into the person I am today.

When I was 11 years old, my father died. Not knowing what to do with that reality and the emotions that came with it, I turned to my mother. My mother has always been my rock, so I was confident that she would put this entire situation into perspective. She explained to me how my dad had been sick for a while, and how god did not want to see him suffer any longer, so he called my father home. When I attended the funeral, it occurred to me that this would be the last time I would see my father. As the time of grieving progressed, I grew unmotivated, uninterested, and depressed. In middle school, I joined an after school program called Teen Hype. Teen Hypes's goal was to empower youth to be their very best self. After joining this program, my

Just when everything's going your way, it can change in a blink of an eye. Even when things don’t go your way, you can’t give up. This is a story about my experience about overcoming adversity, and not giving up.

I had an article in the Tulsa World, my family and I got to share my story on the radio, and I’ve been able to share it with people and groups. I’ve learned through this experience that God has a plan for everything. The things that happen to us may not be part of our plan, but they are a part of God’s plan. God sometimes uses our experiences to bless other people, or to help us learn something. The reason I believe God had me go through that was to show me that people really did love and care for me. My mom stayed in the hospital the whole time with me and I didn’t even know some of the people who visited me. Sometimes I’ll be with my parents somewhere and they’ll start to talk to someone that I’ve never seen before, and the person goes, “Hey, you’re Lauren! I prayed for you while you were in the

I was living in Tucson at the time Marcus was swimming at the U of A and I had a kid attending the U, too, but I did not know about Marcus. I regret that. Marcus was a valuable and respected team member of one of the top college swim teams in the country despite his deafness. How awesome it that! This is a great example of how the human spirit was released to overcome adversity. Marcus had an advantage because deafness helped him focus, center himself, and be relaxed whereas he might not have been able to do so with normal hearing. His deafness was an advantage to both himself and the team and without it, he probably wouldn’t have ever pursued the sport. I bet his life is more enriched today than it would have been. I was impressed that the U of A had someone on site to communicate with Marcus with sign language. I appreciate that commitment and I hope that other colleges would have done the same. His story also continues to inspire others

First of all, It was in December 2, three years ago, I was the passenger of a vehicle on my way to work at Ohl warehouse on Whitaker st. The driver of the vehicle I was in went to sleep it at the wheel not realizing what was happening until it was to late.I was leading against the passenger window.It was around 6 o’clock in the morning. The Ford explorer ejected me from the vehicle, and it rolled over three times it almost landed on me. I honestly believe that God was watching over me that morning.Only thing I was worried about was going to work, but instead I went in the ambulance to Methodist Hospital. When I arrived there I had them call my boyfriend who was at my house getting our children ready for school, and getting himself ready to head out the door for work. After my boyfriend and his sister Jeannie arrived I had a neck brace on. The doctor’s told me that I fractured two bones in my back, and I had to wear this brace

A young man stands in the gym alone. Sweat is trickling down his eyebrow. It is late on a Saturday night; any normal teenager would be with his friends. Instead, he is holding a basketball close to his chest. He could be at that party right now, he could be doing illegal things. Instead, he sprints up and down a court. The young man is dedicated. He grew up with nothing; no food, no money, no one that cared for him but his mother. He could be following a bad path, the path that statistics say he will. Instead, he settles himself at the free throw line. He takes two dribbles, brings the ball to his stomach, and takes a slow breath. The young man is dedicated, for a number of reasons. He wants to provide for his mother, just as she has for him. He wants to prove everyone who said that he would never make it wrong. He wants his father to know his name, to show him he should’ve never left. He must show his work ethic, his ability to handle adversity, his dedication.

I wouldn’t even try to look up because it hurt too much. My family was usually indifferent or mad at me for my choices. I felt like I had no one. Luckily, I had an amazing and truly inspired Young Women’s President. She came often to encourage my sisters and me to go to activities, and she would even pick us up for church. One day we had this youth activity where the leaders took each of us on our own and just asked how everything was going. I hadn’t really told anyone about my figurative jump off the cliff, but I couldn’t handle being numb anymore and decided to let her know some. She was horrified and sad at the same time. I was ready for her to offer a “I’m so sorry” and then treat me like we never talked about it. But her response was the exact opposite. She started pushing more. She got me in with the Bishop, and we worked on my repentance. I knew it was the right path, but I still had a really hard time with it. One day my Young Women’s President took me home and told me a simple sentence that changed everything. She said, “God really loves you, Jade. He wanted me to tell you that.” I remember crying because I didn’t feel like anyone could love me. That’s when I started having faith. I often struggled with my trials, but I started to rely on the Lord. Only when I gave God my faith did I begin to change. My heart changed. I was so thankful. I know I wouldn’t have been able to get out of the hole I was in without the Atonement. It changed me and carried me through the guck. I felt love I never thought I would get. The Atonement is by far the most important gift I have ever

Motivation. The reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. Motivation and strength are what people need when fighting life’s problems as well as pursuing a goal they want to accomplish. Many authors write poems to tell about what has motivated them in the past and how they rose from their struggles. Within the poems “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley and “The Rose That Grew From Concrete” by Tupac, the authors talk about struggles and both convey the message that people always need to keep the will to fight through life’s problems.

When immersed in a culture at your job, it is a culmination of many different people from incredibly random walks of life pooled together as one. They all provide their piece to make it an effective model, but everyone is different and serve their own individual purpose to make it work. They do not necessarily have to agree every time, but working together for a common purpose is something we all take great pride in. We put differences aside, if they exist, and do what we are tasked with while working together to complete the tasks at hand.

I was sitting on my couch, as soft and as brown as it was. It was my brother, my sister, my mom and I all waiting for the news. Earlier my grandma had called my sister in tears asking if our mom was home. We told her no. My mom rushed home from work that day. We all sat down and listened to her. The words fell out of her mouth followed by a bunch of tears. My heart sunk, my throat started to hurt, and my mouth fell open. My family's ears had been burned from the scream that had just escaped my lips. I had zero strength that morning. But it all got better. Because I was shown great strength and a huge lesson from this. The next time I had seen my Grandma, she gave me a huge hug. We all sat down and talked about all of the wonderful things that God had given us in those last 75 years old his life. We talked and talked and talked and my grandma eventually said, “Life is not a joke. You can replace anything and everything. Anything and everything but your life. You have one, don’t think you’ll be here tomorrow, in a month, in a year, or in a decade. Don’t take life
