The Importance Of Overcoming Adversity

This quarter I am continuing my observations with Heather Cyrus from Barbour Dual-Language Immersion Academy. She is a unique second grade teacher for Spanish and English speaking students. In my prior fieldwork assignments, I have not met another teacher who has been so ahead of her peers in evolving the classroom for successful, 21st century education.

Adversity will be overcome when one becomes brave , determined , and has the willingness to fail.As being born without a arm, baseball player Jim Abbott, had a long journey ahead of him.Or the brave runners who ran the Boston Marathon after two bombs went off at the finsh line. last year.Even Malala Yousafzai, a young who got shot in the head by the taliban because she thought that girls all girl should get an education.All of these people remember to maintain in control , be brave , and accept failure when overcoming adversity.

Who we really are, what our real character is only truly elicited when we are challenged, as a proverb states, “In the darkest hour shines the brightest light.” Our true character shines through when we are pushed to our extremes and are placed in situations outside of the norm. Horace claims that when someone is faced with an adversity or a challenge, they are more likely to discover talents that they thought they never had. I agree with his claim that adversity breeds talents and strengthens our character, but still understand the importance of prosperity in developing talents.

My parents came to the United States 19 years ago with two young kids in their arms. While neither possessed a high school diploma and both spoke non-fluent English, they had the determination to work more than 50 hours a week to make ends meet. In a way, I believe that I have inherited their determination in order to achieve my goals in the face of adversity. While I was growing up as an Asian-American student some of the struggles I faced were a language barrier and sometimes even discrimination. Later, in my academic career as a first-generation college student, I had fears of the unknown and the unfamiliar.

Before getting back up after you fall you have to gather all your strength and push whatever made you fall harder.Every time you fall the same solution might not work so you have to be stubborn and keep an attitude that tells your challenger Try your best shot, and that if you fall you won’t be gone for long.People overcome obstacles in less than three ways the three ways are by keeping a positive attitude, being determined, and lastly being a creative problem solver.

Resilience is needed to overcome obstacles. Resilience is a quality possessed by people who are able to "bounce back"(Harrington,2012), after they are faced with an obstacle. In my opinion, adult learners personify resilience. Making a decision to better ourselves through education. Despite pre-existing responsibilities, such as, balancing family, work, and assignments. We overcome obstacles daily, to create a better existence for our families. I feel a sense of pride knowing that I'm striving for better.

I believe that everyone should be interactive with their family. I’m really close to my family, and I trust them with all of my thoughts. My family has always been there for me no matter what happens. My family makes me the center of their attention. They always try to go to my sporting events and always tell me that I do well to build my confidence up.

If you were a famous athlete dealing with adversity, how would you handle it? Adversity is any obstacle you have in life, it could be a disability, it could be a fear of something, or it could be a lot of different things. Many people around you could have some type of adversity. Both famous athletes and non-famous people can have adversity, but how are they different? How are they similar? Who would it be harder to be? I believe that being a famous athlete with adversity would be harder than being a non-famous person with adversity.

Overcoming adversity is a difficult challenge that every person must face at some point in their life. Each year, studies are taken on each type of adversity, yet nobody ever studies the benefits that are rewarded from overcoming it (Russo-Netzer P, Moran G.). Overcoming any type of adversity requires a certain set of skills, which are perseverance, determination, maturity, positivity, and self acceptance. By sharing their own experience of overcoming adversity, people are able to show how others can overcome the adversity in their lives. These inspiring stories are given by all types of people, who have overcome different types of adversity, ranging from rejection to bullying.

Throughout the course of my life I have overcome much adversity. I often lie in bed and ponder how I survived such a fatal misfortune. I was two years of age when I lost my mother in a tragic car accident while I held on for the fight of my life. The roads were wet and my mother's car had been sent slewing into oncoming traffic, leaving her pinned between the passenger and driver side door. The life drained from her body almost instantly. My head managed to bust through the window adjacent to me while a fragment of plastic from the car punctured through my skull. The accident left me with broken bones, including a fractured skull, and scars all over my body. I have been told by others how my mother appeared in her open casket as if she had

When I was ten, my mother moved to NYC for a new job and my life as I knew it changed forever. The extent of my vocabulary at the time didn’t extend much beyond hello and goodbye. At school, I constantly felt like I was dreaming. My classmates would talk to me, but no matter how I try, I couldn’t understand anything. Determined to master English, I watched everything from cartoons to the news, trying to make sense of the phrases I heard. I spent hours poring over books, looking up meanings of words. It all paid off six month later, when I suddenly realized I was thinking in English instead of just translating. The experience taught me that I should persevere when faced with adversity and that with hard work anything is possible. As a physician,

I think that adversity leads to growth. People can grow from their mistakes. In this essay I am going to show you how people learn from their mistakes.

Adversity is the struggles we face in life. Adversity can be hard. It affects people in many different ways. In the short stories we read we saw many different kinds of adversity. There are ways to get over adversity. There are traits you need to get over adversity. A trait to get over adversity

Life is hard and challenging. My experiences with adversity influenced the way I approach my goals. I learned about perseverance and strategies in achieving success. I found out that to earn achievement I need to take certain steps to get there. The only way to get to achievement is to have some type of struggle and failure on the way.

When it comes to the topic of hardships, most of us will readily agree that they are something everyone encounters. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of are they beneficial. Whereas some are convinced that they can cause disadvantaging setbacks, others maintain that they are a personality builder. While few many believe adversity can have negative consequences, they are essential for development of a person’s individuality.
