Overcoming All My Most Difficult Challenges

I have overcome lots of obstacles in my life. They weren't the easiest to overcome, but I did it. There is one obstacle I had to go through which made me a strong individual mentally and physically. I lived in New Jersey for my entire life. I grew up there, I had all of my family and friends in Jersey. I was sure my future was going to rely in Jersey. During 7th grade, I got the news that we were going to move to North Carolina. I was thrilled to move to another state. As each day passed, I thought how I would have to start in a new school and make new friends. Every time it struck me knowing that I would have to start a new life. I was nervous not knowing what would happen to my future. I wanted to stay in New Jersey because I was scared of

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

What is your story? What kind of challenges did you overcome? There are things that happened to me that not many people really know about, I was abused by my older sister when I was a young child. But that didn’t make me a bad person, it made me a better one. I treat people with respect and kindness, I help my family with the things they need, and I take care of my brother. I still always make time for myself, to draw, to write, for anything really. But I wouldn’t be the same person I am today if these things didn’t happen.

Throughout my life obstacles appear around every corner. From the time when I was a newborn and my mother had found out she had breast cancer to when my parents had told me they were going to get a divorce. For some, these situations may be depressing to talk about or even uncomfortable. In my mind, however, the more I talk about it and see how it’s changed the way I view life is a more than beneficial opportunity.

At the age of 17 years old, it is the obstacles in my life that defines who I am and who I strive to be in the next chapter of my life. In order to understand who I am and where I want to be it is important to reflect on my early experiences. I am Asian but I am definitely not the “model minority” that the news and research make us out to be. My mother gave birth to me as a teen mother. Unmarried, both my teen parents dealt with their own struggles while raising my siblings and I. Addiction was very familiar. Early in my childhood, I can recall memories of my siblings and I living with extended family members because of my parents’ inability to provide stable housing. I have witnessed my uncles on both sides of my parents’ family being affiliated with gangs, drugs and violence, and

My obstacle was having to learn to stop being closed off and scared to open up in order for relationships to work out. If I had continued to close myself off my relationship wouldn't be where it is at with many people. I wouldn't have certain friends and I would still be friends with people I shouldn't be affiliated with. I grew a lot over the year and this was one of the reasons. I learned so many lessons and overcoming this obstacle definitely made my life easier and better. Its less stressful and allows you to be more happy. Sometimes to be able to trust someone is risky but you will always learn something. Whether good or bad the outcome with always be okay.

The biggest obstacle in my life was to overcome my father leaving me and my family when I was 13. This completely changed my whole life and I lost my purpose without having a dad at a very important time. Although it was a horrible experience, it made me turn my life around, and I became motivated to be the best person, and someday, the best father I could be--and to never be like mine. It also made me want to work hard in everything I do and be successful. I want to grow up to be ten times a better man than he was and to be successful and have a nice happy family--the family I wish I had. Nothing’s wrong with my family, but after that, many problems and tough times came upon us that I hope my family never has to experience. We became even more poor and had to fight through a ton of adversity. I was blessed to get my strong will and work ethic from my mother. I can tell by how hard she tries for us to be happy and how she never gives up. I have had to work several jobs in order to pay for the things I need as well as help out with my family. I know I have to do my part to make a difference for my family without my dad having a role in our

In my life, I have had many obstacles to face but the main one that has always made a huge impact in my life has been the death of my father. When I was just six years old, my father passed away in a car accident and back then it didn't mean much to me but soon enough my thirteenth-year old self-learned what it really meant.

Overcoming obstacles through the stages of my life has been my biggest challenge. As time progressed, I’ve learned that people can go through so many challenges yet hide these secrets so naturally that the world does not notice what they are undergoing. Learning how to speak up and ask for help, was the most difficult thing to do. Three years ago I was a victim of dating violence.

We go through many obstacles in our life, some can be small others can be very big, so big they impact our lives very drastically. The obstacle I had to overcome was the death of my father. I was in middle school when it happened, it was a pretty normal monday. I woke up at 6:30 am to get ready for school. My dad gave me a ride to school like he always did, he didn’t seem any different he looked healthy as ever. I had a pretty normal day school,I walked home from school. My dad wasn’t home yet when I got home, he was still at work,my mom made me lunch. A few hours later,my dad comes home,he eats dinner a few minutes later a cousin of my dad comes over to just talk. She stays about for an hour,it’s about 9:00 pm

I didn't understand what was going on or what he had done, but I knew he did something bad. I had never heard my parents fight like this before; so much yelling and crying. Something was definitely wrong. Then my father was gone, never seen again, but the damage had already been done. This time period of my life was filled with many different obstacles, both major and minor. Overcoming all the obstacles during this time in my life was not enjoyable, but through mental strength, hard work and support from my mother, and help from family and friends, I was able to move past this obstacle. This period of my life has helped me to become a better person and made me stronger mentally and emotionally.

 There has to be a million quotes about how you must face obstacles in order to succeed. Essentially, anyone who has succeeded in just about anything can justify this philosophy. But,  it is not the obstacle in itself that leads to success,  It is the lessons that are learned from it. A time when I faced an obstacle was when my house burned down in the beginning of  my sophomore year of high school. This experience led me to succeed in discovering my caring character.

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.

In life, we all go through challenges and it’s either we face them or walk away from it. Growing up, people will always have different ways of handling things that happens in their life. We can’t know what could happen and how we handle it because life is unexpected. As I see it is that if you tend to keep making the same mistakes, you’ll never get passed your past and if you learn from all of your mistakes, you can move forward with your life. Everyone has faced their challenges in their own way and not everything in life will be easy because I can tell you right now that no one’s life is perfect. Everyone has their flaws, but they're perfect in their own way possible.

Have you ever overcome anything in your life? Most likely you have, whether it's something as small as being scared to ask for directions or as big as overcoming your fear of flying. I’ve overcome so much throughout my life. My biggest obstacle was my childhood. Ever since I could remember my step dad would often beat my mom . Waking up to my mom's screams became normal. My mom would always blame me. When I was fifteen all that changed because on June 16, 2014, my mom died. After all this I consider myself blessed because God has blessed me with a new family and even though we aren't all blood we are still a family.
