To struggle is unfortunately an inevitability for the human race. However, one outcome carried by the toil of conflict is adaptability, which is an essential trait one can only acquire through great struggle. As a thirteen-year-old girl whose dreams encompassed nothing more than a house on a hill and a handful of close companions, I could not comprehend being asked to leave the dream I was living in exchange for a city rife with unknowns. In the words of Robert Frost (and perhaps to echo the beautifully unabashed posture of Finding Nemo’s beloved Dory), however, “The best way out is always through”. Every day I longed to see those frost-peaked mountains usher the wind as it danced with aspen leaves, taunting me with the sweet aroma of belonging.
This text helped me to understand the difficulties of having to adapt to a brand new society.
Transitions are never an easy thing to conquer. It is often hard and stressful to cope with changes to one’s surrounding, but in the cases in which one manages to conquer this obstacle, elevation of knowledge and experience are great results gained from this achievement. I originally came from Africa and recently moved to the United States to join my mother and my step father. This great change in the things I had become accustomed to in my daily life was not easy, furthermore taking into account the fact that I had never experienced a transition so little as shifting from one residence to another.
My story is a bit on the humorous side for most parties other than myself.
Carrizo springs, a small town that I call home, I’ve lived here all my life, since 1999. I have one word to describe about Carrizo Springs: challenging. I illustrate my hometown as challenging since theirs about 6,000 people living in Carrizo Springs. Therefore, each class gets about 140 or less kids. My class has around 120 students, some people may think it’s really easy to be in the top 10 or 20, in reality, it’s a challenge to rank high in your class, everybody is always trying to take someone’s spot. Since my freshman year and now to my senior year, I’ve worked so hard to get where I’m at, I believe that’s why I say this lovely town is challenging because it makes you want to achieve the big goals you planned since you were little. People around you want to see you fail; actually, they believe you are going to
In the story Finding Nemo by Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich, Marlin the overprotective clownfish is cautious and fearful wherever he goes.
The walk of life is unfailingly punctuated by hardship no matter who you are. No matter how fast you sprint or slow you crawl they will always creep up behind you and force you to your knees. You’ve tried your hardest, pushed your boundaries and still no change. You’re tired and you’ve given up; but not on life. You’ve given up trying to change where you are. Realisation now grips you as you understand, if fighting isn’t helping; it’s time for flight…
Children oftentimes inherit physical traits from both parents, but I have inherited much more: tenacity and the ability to adjust to new conditions with ease. According to my observations, the older I get the more I am exposed to various people, places, and situations which lead to patiently adapting to certain changes. For the first fourteen years of my life, I have lived in the Philippines, but that had ceased when I had to immigrate to the United States. When I arrived here in the U.S, I knew very well that it was uncharted territory for me. This unfamiliarity gave me a considerable amount of discomfort, knowing that I am 7,000 miles away from home.
H.G. Wells, an English writer from the 1800’s, once stated, “Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.” This means that if you do not adapt, you will perish. It is vital to adapt to your surroundings. In the novel, The Call of the Wild, written by Jack London, Buck, the protagonist, is transitioned into an extremely different habitat and way of living than before. Buck needs to vitally adapt to his surroundings. In order to adapt physically Buck needs to adapt his feet to the trail, getting used to less food and learning the sled traces. But, not only does Buck have to adapt physically to his new surroundings, he needs to adapt mentally as well. Buck needs to learn to steal and to be less fastidious in order to survive.
The story of my thirteen-year-old-self offered readers a glimpse of the lowest point of my life; However, it was not the only time I felt discouragement. In Fall 2014, my mother ended up losing her job due to disability. We had to move into a dangerous neighborhood. All our lives, my mother worked hard to prevent us from residing in neighborhoods that could potentially harm us. I can recall the face she wore when she realized moving to a lower-class area was the only solution to our problems. She did not say it, but I can tell that she felt like she failed us. I patted her back the entire ride to our new home for reassurance. When we reached our destination, my stomach tied up in knots. There were dozens of people around the neighborhood
Every human being, every animal, every plant has had to adapt in their life in order to survive. Adaptation relates to everything, there is no life without adapting. The word adaptation means modification of an organism or its parts that makes it more fit for existence under the conditions of its environment: a heritable physical or behavioral trait that serves a specific function. One way that someone might show adaptation in their life is when someone is born into a religious family. They adapt to going to religious celebrations and don’t think anything of it after they have been doing it through their childhood. They have adapted to that certain schedule. There are also different ways adaptation can be shown. Adaptation is important
Sister Callista Roy developed the Adaptation Model, as she was impressed with adaptation. I can relate to her fascination with adaptation. From the time people are born, we face environmental stimuli, whether positive or negative. It is through the environmental stimuli and experience that we grow and develop through adaptation. Adaptation is so important for transformation, growth, and development throughout each one’s life. As many theorists have concluded, including Sister Roy, the interactions between humans and the environment are continuous. As humans we must learn how to face these continuous interactions by utilizing coping mechanisms and our adaptive modes. Otherwise, the environmental stimuli could threaten one’s
Adaptivity is an important characteristic for the colonizers to have because mistakes are imminent and one must always be ready to learn. People will make mistakes and they need to learn how to be prepared for future adversity. The colonizers will also have to adapt to the new climate on Mars.”If you live

For months, I have travelled across this vast countryside, trying to find the place in this world that I fit into. But with each passing day, I found that I was destined to be always out of place, the people of the towns and villages that I came across all rejected me. It mattered not if they chased me out with pitchforks or torches, their actions all meant the same to my sewn-together heart.
Finding Nemo, a younger generation’s favorite movie that quickly became close to many children’s hearts. Those hearts included some of our group members and with little disagreement, it was decided that we would concentrate our efforts on this film. But what does a children’s movie have to do with a Communication class, or more precisely a problem solving assignment? When we first watched the film as children, we probably didn’t realizes that there were any problem solving sequences in the film. However, after learning the material in class, we re-watched the film and found it had a multitude of examples for the problem solving sequences. In order for Marlin to find his son, and for Nemo to be freed from the tank, they used the problem solving sequence to determine different methods to create the unique solution they needed.
