Overcoming Obstacles

Life is full of obstacles and everyone goes through different problems. There are two possible outcomes to every problem: one is success and the other is failure. Often times, people face failure and just give up on that challenge. Others use that failure and work hard to reach success. As for me, I did face failure but that did not stop me from climbing over obstacles and persevering in the face of challenge and adversity.

In life, there are tons of challenges. Some are small and require little work to achieve, while others can be quite large, and take lots of hard work to accomplish. To be able reach these different goals, persistence must be shown, by always trying and never giving up when failure takes over.

I have faced many obstacles in my life and have been through many hardships. However, I always overcome them in one way or another. For example, when I first walked the halls of Harlingen High School I entered as a shy but ambitions freshman with a lot of friends and unfortunately a lot of enemies. I was always put down due to play playing ability in band. I constantly tried to get better and better and that’s when freshman region auditions came along. I was excited to be able to actually compete with others so I can finally prove myself to my peers and teachers. I stumbled through my pre-audition and wasn’t able to audition and that killed me inside. I practiced so hard to not be able to audition. Although I was never any good I decided to

To me "success" is when a person overcomes obstacles, in order to achieve their goals, no matter how big or small. Everyone in life has a goal, whether it's to have a great occupation, or to get over a phobia. Once a goal is set, people come up with their own plan in order to complete their goal, where they will reach success. Sometimes people will often give up their on goal during the process of achieving it, due to the overwhelming difficulty of their personal obstacles. With motivation, support, and strength, there's no obstacle that people cannot overcome, these are the three elements to success.

As a child, I dreamed of becoming a nurse. However, my strong repugnance of blood and needles made a nursing career highly implausible. I had never set any logical career goals. Even if I had, the pursuit of any goal would have had to be put on hold, as I became pregnant at the age of seventeen. When my children were still very young, I thought about pursuing a teaching career and decided to enroll in college; however, my college days were short lived, as I was a single mother of three sons. My middle son faced learning challenges and I felt the need (and desire) to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom and focus on the needs of my children. When they got a little bit older and started

My life isn’t that appealing, I always imagined myself in better position that I am now, maybe living out of state somewhere with a boyfriend who loves me and a job that could sustain my college tuition. If you would have asked me at the age of eight what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said something on the line of “a Lawyer, Doctor, or even an Astronaut” but no one ever tells you how hard its going to be and how much debt you’ll be in at the age of twenty-five. From childhood to adulthood, everyone chooses a path, where they must overcome obstacles thrown at them. Obstacles in life make us who where are, they make us learn, and they predict how we will turn out. My obstacles consist of mental, physical, and social throughout my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood years which made me who I am today.

Everyone faces challenges and complications in their life but i strongly feel what is important is what you learn from that obstacle. Throughout my junior year i was dealing with a situation that lead to events that i never thought would happen to me. My mother, father, sisters, and i have been going through some challenges that caused my family to split. It began when my parents divorced and my mother met someone who didn't respect me nor my sisters. I couldn't explain how difficult it was to listen to the negativity that went on in that house. Its hard to wake up and smile knowing you're not welcomed in your own house. My mother agreed with everything he said and he was clearly the king and we had to bow down to him. Eventually i ended up

My obstacle that i had to overcome proves many things about my def of an obstacle which is ‘‘An obstacle is something that you have to overcome in your life.’’ Having to deal with an obstacle like mine which is having to move to a different city is really something that is a thing you have to overcom in life. I had to make new friend, meet new people, and pretty much have to start miy life all over again because i wont know anything about the city i would be moving to. Having to start over in your life is a big obstacle to overcome and it made my life very hard until i met one of my best friends that i will talk abou later in my story. My def of an obstacle will soon be proven when you read the rest of my life story.

Do you think the Olympics are cool? Olympic athletes push the limits of a normal human body. What if the Olympic athletes were missing crucial body parts; like a limb, their ability to walk or the vision. That would make there job impossible right? Wrong! There are people who are missing limbs, are in wheelchairs, and can’t see pushing limits. They are showing society that they don't want piety they want equality. The ad shows the athletes as strong- not broken, through the music and video clips of the athletes on and off the field.

People are faced with obstacles on a daily basis, but it is how a person deals with the obstacle that really reveals their true character. I personally believe that obstacles are present in order to demonstrate how much one really desires to achieve a particular goal. While growing up, I was a stereotypical awkward “pre-teen” that grew too fast for his age: I was not fast enough for basketball, not coordinated enough for baseball, and definitely not nimble enough for soccer. It was here in middle school when I was faced with obstacles, but it is how I dealt with these obstacles that taught me many lessons and turned me into the person I am today.

Prior start to exercise, yoga, meditation or eating healthy and clean, I thought about the barriers and challenges that may limit my ability to initiate these actions. In addition, it is important to know the challenges and barriers because it will enable me to understand how I am going to achieve my goal and work hard for it. One of the challenge is to find the time and effort to initiate the action. Physical activity and yoga exercise for instance, for me I enjoy working in group, but I did not have the resources or time to join the gym (no transportation, course-work load, and working on my research). Thus, I decided to sign up for an online personal trainer and the trainer assisted me to incorporate physical activity, meditation and yoga

One obstacle I will face is I constantly stress myself about my grades and getting assignments turned in on time, but the main thing that stresses me is I have a hard time understanding some content in assignments, quizzes, and discussions. The way I will conquer this, is I will talk to my parents or friends about what is stressing me out and see if they can help me with understanding the assignments or discussions, I will also take breaks from what is stressing me to help me calm down. The Second obstacle is I usually procrastinating when it comes to doing something like assignments or studying when I should. I can conquer this by creating a schedule and setting alarms on my phone to remind me to do my assignments, along with reminding myself why I am doing college and telling myself I need to do it to better my future to persuade myself to get up and actually do what I need to do. The third obstacle I have to face is lack of college prep education, this is because I never went to high school so I was unable to take college prep courses to prepare me for college.

All the challenges and obstacles we face in life have a meaning behind it. We all fear the fact of failing or even being looked down on and labeled as a failure. In school we all are measured with results, you either fail or pass, no in between. At first, people are afraid of failure, instead of embracing and learning from it, they run away from it and try their best to ignore it. We all fall under this subjective viewpoint; it’s just that it is the initiative of getting right back up and learning from your miscues leads to success. We all detest the matter of failing and not coping with the expectations, but in terms of reality, I believe that we should embrace failure and use that as a building block to success.

When I was a child, I remember someone telling me, “Obstacles do not block the path, they are the path”. I never truly understood that brief phrase until my own obstacles altered the pace of my life. In life, one is faced with trials and tribulations, which makes for an interesting outlook on life. However, overcoming those very trials and tribulations are what makes life’s outlook meaningful.

Everyone faces obstacles one time in their lives, how may we overcome those obstacles? Well, growing up in a small-town name Belle Glade, FL with a single parent of four. Education plays a big role throughout our household. Growing up seeing people getting shot and killed in front of your eyes can be a hard burden on your chest. No one wouldn’t want to experience death or death situations, and struggling at a very young age. Our community receives petite amount of help from the government. Growing up with a single parent was tough, watching your mom struggling to pay the light bill or water bill. My mother did anything it takes to keep a roof over our head to make sure we were harmless. My grandmother and aunts made me the man I am today. Of course, it was
