Overcoming Obstacles Of My Life

Imagine having the perfect life- you get into all honors classes, you get straight A’s, you are the first chair in the orchestra, you get into the A Cappella choir, you are on the varsity volleyball team, President of the Student Council, and you have a perfect home life. You have never had to face a single obstacle throughout your journey in life. When your whole life is like this, you do not know what failure feels like and will never experience the need to rise up after a downfall. There are many types of journeys one can take in life and dealing with obstacles has a prodigious impact on the outcome. The obstacles and hindrances are the things that shape us as we experience the ups and downs in life.

Life is like a roller coaster. You will face good and bad, you should always be ready for obstacles such as life-changing obstacles and sacrifices. These three stories will define obstacles that were real life and had to be faced. Coping with an obstacle is very great it can help you with many things to overcome it. To have a great mindset to wanting to achieve that obstacle or get pass it. It can also help with the confidence of the obstacle to wanting to achieve the success.

Obstacles. Everyone has been forced to overcome them at some point in their life. These obstacles have shaped everyone and helped them become the person they are today. Challenges are a part of life and everyone will face them at some point in their life, but it is how people handle it that determines their future. This idea can be seen in many pieces of text including the following poems. “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley and “The Rose That Grew From Concrete” by Tupac both convey the idea that obstacles are important in everyone’s life and help shape everyone as a person on the way to their dream.

Obstacles are unavoidable parts of our lives. Obstacles constantly come in the way and slow us down. However, these obstacles should not be viewed as being harmful. They are essential factors in order for one to succeed. They can change the course of one’s life, and encourage one to work harder. Therefore, obstacles can be beneficial.

In life there will be a lot of obstacles. Some obstacles just come out of nowhere, and some you may bring upon yourself. But without struggle you will not learn how to take care of yourself. Life is not always fare, you have to take the good with the bad. Be strong and keep moving. You will get there eventually if you stay focused.

Everyone has different aspects of life that come with multiple obstacles. As many think they aren’t able to overcome and moving fourth, believing they will fall apart and behind everyone else. Most of mankind has experience some type of obstacles and we all have a wide arrangement on how to cope and overcome. The truth is, we only see challenges and obstacles when we take our eyes off the goal. Every goal has a challenges but once we overcome the world becomes bigger.

Obstacles, like being an undocumented first-generation student, have shaped my identity in numerous ways. My story is an exercise in resilience, and I believe it to be powerful. However, my story can also cast a shadow over the more enjoyable, albeit mundane, aspects of my life. My love for food is a little-known part of my life which has brought me joy and many learning opportunities. In middle school, I wanted to be like one of the famous French chefs who defined modern cuisine.

Life is about dealing with obstacles and learning how to hurdle over them, but also learning from them. Obstacles that we have no choice but to encounter sporadically. Things thrown at us without any warning. I've faced many obstacles in my life, but who hasn't? We are all damaged, scarred, and bruised. We all have stories, some long, some much too short. My story starts here.

The morning of October 4 was the date of the South Carolina flood. I remember waking up to my parent’s voice saying “everyone wake up, fast.” Then I ran downstairs to see water seeping in through the doors. All the carpets were starting to float up. I saw my mother and she said to put on shorts so that my pajama pants would not add weight. In addition, she said to put tennis shoes on. By the time I made my way downstairs, everyone was running around. The dogs were taken out of their kennels and were being held. My father went over to the garage and flipped on the lights to see if he could reach the boat. However the water had risen too high to go in the garage. Suddenly we saw lights appear in the driveway, we realized it was a car. We were so joyful until we recognized that it

As I got turned onto my back, fighting for my life, the referee’s hand slaps the mat, and my career of wrestling was over. Throughout all the times I worked out and practiced as hard as I could, my only desire for wrestling was to go to states. Knowing I had the potential, my wrestling coach used life lessons to motivate me throughout the obstacles I faced. Although I never went to states, the lessons I’ve learned from the sport apply to any desire I have in life today. Furthermore, I’ve learned that “some desire is necessary to keep life in motion” to accomplish the goals I have in life.

Ever since I could remember, I heard the expression “you can do anything you want, if you put your mind to it”. I never thought it to be true until I experienced it for myself. My weight was something that I've always struggled with and because of it, I met many obstacles in my life. Some of which affected my physical health and self-image. I also had personal issues that I had to face . I knew that I needed to make a change for the better.

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.

Problems can be turned into something good.When people overcome obstacles they become more strong.When ever you have problems you need to solve them in order to be happy.

A huge obstacle that I faced through my life was when I was being bullied in seventh grade. That school year was one of the toughest and scariest time of my life. During that time period I wasn’t really a social person. I was mainly an outsider since I was all alone most of the time. Also I didn't really have the best physical appearance like everyone else, which made me feel like a outcast. I didn’t have anyone to hang with since it was a new school and I had no classes with my friends
