The Greatest Obstacle Of My Life

    As a child I was a very eager learner, I always wanted to learn new things to feed my brain. My desire to learn how to read started when I was introduced to the book, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” Since I didn't have the ability to read at that age, I would ask my mom to

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.

Having an obstacle to overcome will happen at least one time in everyone's life. The obstacles may be small, large, mental, or physical, but if you find the right people to stick with you through it, you can overcome anything. That’s what was going through my mind when I read an inspiring article about a young man named Tim Harris.

My earliest memory of learning how to read was when I was about four or five years old. My siblings were mainly the ones who taught me to read before I even entered elementary school. By the time I did start attending school I was reasonably literate. One vivid memory I have that always comes to mind when I think of how I started reading was of my sister teaching me. We had these square little red Dora the Explorer books that were only 4 pages. My sister would have me read them out loud and waited patiently as I tried to figure the words out and get the pronunciation right. She made sure I was fluent in my reading abilities for that day before I could go play.

Obstacles, in life you will face them more than once or twice. Some perceive obstacles as an inconvenience keeping them away from their goal. However, keeping a positive mindset towards any obstacle you face will help you become a strong person. I had viewed obstacles as negatives during a difficult ski race, only to later realize that they had made me into a stronger person.

We all have faced an obstacle in our lives at some point in our lives. How and if we overcome those obstacles is entirely up to us as individuals. For me personally, the biggest obstacle that I have ever had to overcome has been depression. It has plagued my life for many years and I am just beginning to conquer it.

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.

The biggest obstacle in my life was to overcome my father leaving me and my family when I was 13. This completely changed my whole life and I lost my purpose without having a dad at a very important time. Although it was a horrible experience, it made me turn my life around, and I became motivated to be the best person, and someday, the best father I could be--and to never be like mine. It also made me want to work hard in everything I do and be successful. I want to grow up to be ten times a better man than he was and to be successful and have a nice happy family--the family I wish I had. Nothing’s wrong with my family, but after that, many problems and tough times came upon us that I hope my family never has to experience. We became even more poor and had to fight through a ton of adversity. I was blessed to get my strong will and work ethic from my mother. I can tell by how hard she tries for us to be happy and how she never gives up. I have had to work several jobs in order to pay for the things I need as well as help out with my family. I know I have to do my part to make a difference for my family without my dad having a role in our

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.

At least once in everyone’s life there is an obstacle that they face and have to overcome. Obstacles and barriers are used as a way to help shape people to help them become what they are supposed to be in life. Some Obstacles and barriers can be small and could be easily fixed, however some are Big and may take a while to overcome. Since I am only sixteen I have not had many problems, and for the problems that I did have were actually very small. When trying to answer this question I come to realize that none of the major problems I had were external they were all mainly internal, more specifically myself. The main obstacle I have had to overcome in my life was accepting myself for who I am and learning how to love me for me.

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.

Some people think that having obstacles in your life is to ruin what you are trying to accomplish. If you didn't have those obstacles, then everyone's life would be easy, and what would be the point? Having obstacles in your life should help you more to keep going, and to make your life better in a way that you won't consider having.

The most significant challenge that I have faced is not having enough money. My whole life my family has struggled with money and it's been hard for us. There was days we didn't have food to eat and we would starve at times.Then I started to think and I wanted to try to help them out somehow but I was in school too so I was thinking of dropping out of school and going to work with my dad in construction. My mom didn't want me to to drop out of school she wanted me to finish high school, go to college and I told her but mom we need money im tired of suffering and she was like I know son but I want you to be someone in life. So I talked to one of my uncles that worked in making cabinets and I told him if I can work with him every day right after

Many different events in my life lead up to my ability to read. There are words all arounds no matter where we go, so not learning how to read was never an option for me. My mother got me interested in reading first because as a child she would sit me on her lap and read short children stories to me. At night time, she would tuck me in and read me a bed time story. Her voice flowed so smoothly through each word and she even mad the sound effects to make the story come alive. It became a point in time where I would no longer wait for my mother to read to me, I would take out a book and attempt to read on my own. Not knowing what any of the words meant or what they were saying I would try my best to read them still. That was only the beginning for me, when I enrolled in kindergarten and my teacher would assign homework to us there was always some form of reading that was required. I would sit at the kitchen table struggling to

Everyone has obstacles in their life causing them distress and torment. My obstacle started with me as the stepchild. The following step in overcoming the obstacle pertained to enduring unfair punishments. Then verbal battering initiated the next treacherous portion of my obstacle. Finally, after my obstacle gave me incentive to succeed, I prevailed over it, obtaining invaluable knowledge in the process. Obstacles are one of life’s greatest tools to teach you.
