Overcoming Obstacles That Changed My Life

Throughout my life I faced a lot of challenges. I had to overcome the obstacle that was on my way. The obstacle made me stronger and made me the person who I am right

Throughout my life I faced a lot of challenges. I had to overcome the obstacle that was on my way. The obstacle made me stronger and made me the person who I am right now a ambitious and hardworking student. The problem shaped me up because I know that I have to work for what I want and to not depend on no one, this made me more independent. Also, I learned from my mistake and try to do better.

Every day, every one, in the world goes through a challenge, big or small. They affect and impact us significantly. They change the way we think, love, act, and approach or do things. Challenges either frighten or motivate us, but they are what make us the person we are today.

I have gone through many experiences that have tried to tear me down. Life will never seize to throw obstacles my way. These obstacles, however, have proven to be positives that fuel me to be the person I never knew before. They teach me to stand out while taking a stand and be the powerful, independent woman that I am meant to be.

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.

Most would see obstacles as a make it break moments when it’s more like a wound where your wings will grow from. Letting you fly above the rest showing those who doubted you would make it, what the wound of your obstacles fueled you to accomplish. Thus proving, that your obstacle is the dessert in your mind calling to you so can fall into it endless abyss of doubt, but how does one challenge and succeed such a beast know as adversity. Thenceforth, bringing the answer that they might alter their lifestyle to overcome what lies ahead or they might always be able to find their light even if in the bleakest world to find their strength endure even more. These might be ones different ways to sprout their wings, but every person who has ever overcome

Obstacles. Everyone has had 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.

Throughout my life I have experienced and overcome different obstacles that have shaped me to be the person I am. My life has been influenced the most by the adoption of my two brothers. My parents had always wanted to grow our family through adoption, and finally when I was about nine we decided to take a leap of faith, and adopt from China. Even from the young age of nine, I knew this was going to be a major life changing event.

Once a person borns into this life, he or she need to understand "life is an obstacle." The important part it how can that person turns that obstacle into an opportunity. For me, every obstacle can be handled by working hard or by trying to adapt the situation, come up with a chance to do something new.

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.

Obstacles and conflicts are what help shape and mold a person. There are small problems that can be kicked to the curb but some so large that it shakes one’s entire core. I have had my share of small and large obstacles in my life so far, but the most difficult one was to overcome having to grow up learning how be independent at a very young age. My parents divorced when I was three and my mother was left alone having to provide for the family. Since my mother was now the only one providing for the family she had to get a job out of state and leave me behind. Lucky my grandmother were there for my mom and helped her out by taking me in.

haven’t had much adversity at all in my life. Let’s face it, I’m a white kid growing up

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.

Everyone goes through challenges as they grow up. Life is good, beautiful… but it is not always easy as people think is. Life has its problems, challenges, and every moment of being alive count as one should always be ready to face the challenges that they will encounter as they go through life. To some people, no matter how hard their life gets, they strive to make it higher whether their stair is rough or crooked, they still continue to go in order to make their life better. Challenges in life can come in different forms, such as: Poverty, addicts…

The obstacle of my parents divorcing will always try to hinder my life, whether that be while I'm young or when I grow old. But I know it will always make me who I am - a writer, a loving sister, daughter, and hopefully, one day, a doctor. I will forever be the girl standing on the wing of a plane in my dreams, but I know my brothers will always hold my hand along the way, for no one obstacle will ever break that bond, because it’s who we are, the kids who save ourselves.
