Challenge means ‘A task or situation that tests someone's abilities’ (Google Dictionary) and David Suzuki has experienced such tests many times in his life. David was born in Vancouver on the 24th of March 1936. He is a third generation Canadian. His grandparents were from Japan and his many life challenges were due to his nationality because of the attack in Pearl Harbour brought upon by Japan. Because of David’s nationality, he, his parents and his three sisters were taken to an internment camp where is troubles began. But despite all of his troubles David went on to become the “greatest living Canadian” (National Review of Medicine, 2008).

From the beginning of the story started out with sympathy for the young ladies loss.

Challenges are something that is inevitable but also indispensable in our lives: some face illness, some face poverty, and some face the loss of loved ones… Every time after we went through bad days, when we look back, we can usually find out that all the effort we made is worthwhile and realize that we have changed a lot during the process. The book Personal Effects written by E. M. Kokie shows the process of the main character Matt managing to conquer difficulties in life of facing the death of his brother, having bad grades at school, and under the frequent violence from his dad. The book uses conflict, character development, and setting to convince the idea of the adverse situation is a chance to improve ourselves, which is important that when

Therefore, the opportunity itself seemed incredibly interesting. It certainly presented a number of challenges. However, we could argue that these obstacles lead to self-development and improvement. Thus, hopefully, my life can present additional opportunities where a challenge could become an advantage.

Taking place during the years after a ferocious alien invasion, this often heart wrenching story of survival and courage, delves deep into the heart of human nature and relationships during a time of extreme duress, as the survivors not only face the invading aliens as an enemy, but also other predatory humans, along with battling with their own internal struggles.

First of all, challenges can make a person determined to do their best. People doing their absolute best is always a marvelous thing. It creates more independent people rather than dependent. Being independent teaches individuals to not be reliable in life. Being the best they can be is a extremely important in the world.

Challenges are part of everyone 's lives, however, for some in society they face being stereotyped, where they are not seen as individuals but defined by their disability, race, gender, sexuality or religion. Some people

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…

Challenge is something that test your confidence. It also is something that test your skill, agility, and how to get through things. My personal experience through the Basler Challenge Course was one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done in my life. It tested everything that I had in me. I had to get out my comfort zone just to get through the course. It made me look at a lot of things different because I usually don’t mess with heights. Sometimes our fears can get in the way of our confidence, but it’s our decision to overcome our fears and challenge ourselves to get through things that we don’t normally do on an everyday basis.

As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”, I have considered this quote as one of most influencing quotes that I used in my life that was, and still, full of challenges from all kinds. Speaking of my career progression, I have been enjoying turning a challenge into an opportunity and making a success from fail.

Challenges are the structure of self-development, so people could to develop critical-thinking skills to overcome those challenges. For example, workers are constantly encountering new set of challenges. The challenges help workers to gain more knowledge of their career and will prepare them for future challenges. According to a journal written by Doody discussed on jumping out of comfort zone in a medical field, “issues pertaining to patient safety and operative outcome targets may restrict the amount of autonomy that a trainee may be given to move from his or her comfort zone to the learning zone” (Doody). This prepares workers to encounter challenges, and how they will handle the situation either on their own or help from others. By doing so medical trainees will be able to adjust to their jobs on a medical field. It can help them learn and develop new tactics dealing with the situation because “advanced learners who require more complex, unpredictable challenges with higher stakes to maximize their learning” (Doody). People who are set in complex challenges will be able to handle the situation, which it can increase their ability to handle similar challenges they will encounter in the future. Comfort zones limits people from handling challenges, but enforcing challenges within their work can help them overcome the comfort zone. Challenges are necessary for people

In the course of a journey a person is faced with obstacles that will test if they have the strength to overcome it or if we will fall under the pressure of our own weaknesses. Journeys can be a tricky thing. When there is a conflict or a challenge in a journey, the strength is magnified in this moment because we are trying to overcome it. But if we fall to our own demise the weaknesses are amplified. Furthermore, strengths are magnified when the challenge is defeated and the weaknesses are magnified when we fail or don't reach our goal.

A challenge is an obstacle that one must defeat with validity that it has been overcome, while fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that something is harmful. No life-changing challenge worth conquering comes without a dash of fear. In my life, I’ve faced what I thought was a lot of challenges. From having a dad that left to be the first in my family to go to college directly after high school, I’ve confronted a lot of obstacles that have generated fear. However, nothing could prepare me to the fear that I faced at my first SEARCH retreat.

Throughout our life, we face many challenges that test our abilities. These obstacles can force us to quickly change and adapt to the situation at hand, changing who we are and how we see things. Occasionally, these predicaments help us mature and prepare us for new challenges that may wait in the future. My life has been full of challenges from striving to be academically excellent to staying strong in my faith; however, the most memorable conflict in my life was when I took part in the U.S. Border Patrol Explorer Academy.

From an early age I learned to look at challenges not as insurmountable problems, but as opportunities for continual growth, personal discovery, and ultimately achievement. This mindset of translating challenges pervades my academic career to this point, and in pursuing a Masters of Science degree I hope to challenge myself to the next level of academic and professional achievement.
