Personal Narrative: My Obstacles In My Life

The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. As long as I can remember me have trouble with reading and I did not know why I was bad at it. My patients eventually came to the conclusion that I had mental problems with reading. I was then put in special reading classes to help with my problem. This brought down my self respect making me feel stupid. This went on for about seven year till I went to high school when I stopped being that kid in the corner. I analyzed my problem to the best of my ability to find out what the trouble I was having and I started to focus on the papers that were important. I got over my problems with reading and on my way to graduate. Overcoming and adapting to the problem that

To be human means we will make mistakes, most importantly we will go through adversity. However, being human also means we always want the easy way out of things. A close friend of mine once told me. As humans, we usually mope around and complain about our problems rather than rising up to the occasion and overcoming the adversity. He told me this around the time I was facing my own adversity in life.

Everyone goes through obstacles in life, it's apart of life. Some so very small some larger than we think we can get through. When was in kindergarten I took my very first vision test little to find out that I had no vision in my right eye at all.They put glasses on me to see if they would help. But they just weren’t any glasses they put a lot of prescription in the right eye than the left so it made me look you were looking through binoculars when you were looking at my right eye only you weren’t and it was only in one eye. As a six year old it was really weird to look at myself in the mirror and not just laugh at myself day after day. I kinda thought I was a cartoon character of some sort. We tried that for about 6 months but nothing

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.

Going through life is not an effortless task for just about everyone, but a huge difference is made when one is guided through it along the way. Growing up, my brother has been a close companion and someone I relied on a surplus amount of times. I was awful at being sociable, attentive, or judicious as a little kid. Even though I still do not have much to show for those categories, I was able to drastically improve off of them thanks to him.

Throughout the cycle of life, everyone passes through obstacles that seem to overrule our lives. However, a key difference is that people with autism have trouble understanding social cues made by other people in life. Those with autism know the struggles and challenges that life can offer for a person. During my life, I have overcome obstacles, but one obstacle that I would be of the utmost proud to have overcome, is completing high school.

Throughout my life, I have had to overcome multiple adversities. For instance, in middle school, I struggled in a couple of my classes, specifically Language Arts. Even though I applied myself in this class, I was unable to achieve the “A” I desired by the end of the term. Instead, I earned a “C”: the lowest grade of my academic career. While this grade is by no means a complete failure, I was still disappointed in my performance. After this event, I decided that I needed to improve and take school more seriously. In the following school year, I became more organized by writing down any homework I had to complete in order to visualize what I had to accomplish. I was then able to make better use of my time and become more productive. I also

I have been extremely fortunate enough to not encounter various hardships or obstacles in my life, but one hits home and I think about it frequently. I was only seven years old, and I concluded that my father had cancer. I had never seen a teardrop fall from his eye until that day. It was heartbreaking, he had to explain to a seven-year-old what was going on. I was oblivious as to what was going on, I just knew it wasn’t good. Financially, we were beginning to hurt as a family due to the expensive treatments. Time passed and nothing had gotten better, however, he was fortunate enough to catch the cancer in time. Testicular cancer is what they diagnosed him with, so it led to the removal of one of his testicles. As a seven-year-old, I had to

My determination, being open minded, and my love to help others has helped me become the person I am today. My determination has helped me through getting the things I want instead of slacking off or having the mindset that I do not care. My determination has helped through challenging classes, and not giving up even when things got tough. Keeping an open mind allowed me to receive better opportunities, and allowed me to explore my interests in new ways. One of the great opportunities I have recieved was Global Glimpse, and seeing the world in a new way. My love to help others also helped me find me peace and happiness in my life. I love to help people, and I love helping my community. One of the great things I have done is do community service

I born with a purple face, when I was born I tangling with the umilical cord, my parents said that I´m a miracle. I was born at 8:00 on Friday 18 June 1999. I automatically had day 2 sisters and 1 brother. Then, 2 years later, I have another sister more,since her birth we are 5 siblings.

As dawn began to approach, on the 22nd day of September 2016, my father followed his path directly for his bedroom. Normally we would sit and talk about our days, and complain about how hard life is. That month was nothing but a cold silence that rang through the house as the garage doors shut. Today was the day that my father would tell us the truth. At the time our family and I were attending a church in Decatur. We had been members for over 10 years, and it was all going to come to a complete halt. Emerging from his room, my father had a blank stare on his face. A look that I would never forget. He began to inch forward and call us all to the dinner table. The topic of conversation began with a sudden burst of tears, and my mother reaching

At some point in our lives we are confronted with a problem. This problem inevitably shapes who we become. My greatest obstacle came early in life; when I was in 8th grade, I was arrested for possession of marijuana.

Sometimes hardships and challenges are one of the best thing that could happen to you. In my junior year football season i rushed for over 1200 yards and was only the 2nd to rush over 1000 at this school, i was first team running back all region and i had article written about me and how i was gonna have a big senior season so i had a lot of pressure on me. My senior year comes and right before my football season started i tore a ligament in my knee that could possibly end my season. I was devastated i couldn't do what i love to do, i went to an orthopedic to figure out my options and it was either call it a season and get my surgery or i could deal with the injury and do what i can for as long as i could. I didn't want to let my senior season go just like that and i didnt want to let down my brothers that worked all my 4 years together with day in and day out.

"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work through it, or work around it," by Michael Jordan. Being a numerous sports athlete, some way I am always active. Not only in extracurricular activities but also in my everyday life. Looking at all the obstacles, not only in my life but in every other athlete's as well. Same as every other athlete and I know, we all get up in the morning just like everyone else. We go to school, go to practice or a game, do homework, and repeat it all over the next day. Being an athlete, I know what an athlete's daily life can look like and how they feel. Any athlete knows those days where nothing falls or goes as

It was an incredibly normal summer day. The sunlight on my skin was a euphoric distraction from the everyday stress of my life, the sound of the waves coming off Norway Lake a rhythm that nearly had me sleeping. The sand stinging my back and legs was a cruel reminder that the nirvana I was experiencing only came from forgetting what was really going on around me. My best friend Justin was going to be showing up soon. I had to work later that night, and my mother had a court date early in the morning the next day, so I knew that I’d have to wake up early to make breakfast for my family and help my mom get paperwork together.
