A big part of the reason I chose to write about this obstacle is because of the lack

I don’t consider myself a daredevil. I’m not one for roller coasters that shoot you in spirals and fling you upside-down. I play it safe, which often makes me the wet blanket in a room full of adrenaline junkies. The problem is can't just “step out of my comfort zone”, it’s not that easy.

This made me a stronger, wiser, more hardworking, more motivated, and a more independent person. I learned to never turn my back because people would stab it right away. I learned to keep my head up and strive to be a better person every single day. Eleanor Roosevelt once said “Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you’ll

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.
