Overcoming The Way Of My Life

The Lorax published in 1971, and in the 1970s American history it was the environmental movement and laws were passed to clean the air and water.

People overcome challenges by accepting what happened, having a positive attitude and not caring what people think about you.

​Within my lifetime, I have encountered obstacles that have shaped me as a person today. For example, when I turned 16, I wanted to get a job to support my mother. I filled out many applications; however, I kept getting rejected. I began to get discouraged after a couple of months, but I didn't want to give up easily. I applied to a couple more grocery stores and once again, I got denied. One Saturday morning in May, my mother and I decided to go to Tysons Corner Mall to search for more jobs. I remained optimistic because I was determined to leave the mall with hopes of getting a job. After a couple of weeks, I got a call from Justice and the manager was interested in me and wanted to schedule an interview. I was very excited and I wasn't going

Sweating, feet shaking and heart racing. Looking around in fear not wanting to be called on. Paralyzed with fear of been asked to do simple tasks such as reading or talking. As children we all have fears, weaknesses, as well as obstacles. My biggest obstacle was not so big. Coming from a different country, every single day showing up at school not knowing anyone or knowing the language, becoming a complete stranger, an outcast. A ghost among the world, wondering without knowing a single thing about this bizarre, unfamiliar place. Homework i couldn't understand or even be able to read. Seen my parents working hard to find a place to live and not been able to help me because just as well we came from a different place, almost seemed like a

Ever since I could remember, I heard the expression “you can do anything you want, if you put your mind to it”. I never thought it to be true until I experienced it for myself. My weight was something that I've always struggled with and because of it, I met many obstacles in my life. Some of which affected my physical health and self-image. I also had personal issues that I had to face . I knew that I needed to make a change for the better.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me-Psalm 142:7.

I consider myself to be persistent. I am the type of person who will not give up until the goal is reached or achieved. I have high expectations from my family, friends, and the people I work with. Throughout my life I have faced many obstacles that have made me contemplate on giving up. However throughout all of my struggles that I have gone through, I have been able to overcome these obstacles and attain my goals.

Prior start to exercise, yoga, meditation or eating healthy and clean, I thought about the barriers and challenges that may limit my ability to initiate these actions. In addition, it is important to know the challenges and barriers because it will enable me to understand how I am going to achieve my goal and work hard for it. One of the challenge is to find the time and effort to initiate the action. Physical activity and yoga exercise for instance, for me I enjoy working in group, but I did not have the resources or time to join the gym (no transportation, course-work load, and working on my research). Thus, I decided to sign up for an online personal trainer and the trainer assisted me to incorporate physical activity, meditation and yoga

Problems can be turned into something good.When people overcome obstacles they become more strong.When ever you have problems you need to solve them in order to be happy.

I am a determined woman paying for my fresh start out of pocket by working full time and attending school to become a RN. Always being independent and working hard from a young age helping to support my single parent household. The obstacles I overcame by being low income, helping my father recoup after having several surgeries, and health problems, plus my health problems. Yet, I have kept my grades up, having nearly perfect attendance in work and school my whole life.

“A…apple…B…ball…C…,” I nervously looked up. He knitted his dark eyebrows, leaving visible creases on his forehead. In his brown eyes, there was clearly a look of anger and I knew why. I quickly stared at my small hands and fumbled with them, hoping he’ll be less angry if he didn't see my face. Hiding my face didn't make him feel any better. “C! CAT! Why can’t you remember?” he yelled, pointing at the chart before me. My cheeks started to heat up. “LOOK AT ME! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?” he yelled at me even louder. I obediently looked up at him and tried to utter “yes,” but to no avail. I couldn’t hold it in any longer and let the water burst out of my eyes. The tears quickly travelled down my cheeks and I tried wiping them away, but they just kept coming. This was the first time I felt like a failure.

Over the course of my life, I have encountered many obstacles or challenges. These obstacles or challenges have made me who I am today. As the years went on, I hit Freshman year. It was a major year for me because not only was it a great time in school and in football, but it was a hard time for me. On June 10, 2016 at 10:00 p.m. my mom called me and my brother down from our rooms and told us that we had to get dressed immediately and then we got in the car. We headed towards Anderson Hospital in Maryville, IL around 10:30 p.m. I kept asking my mom questions about why we were going there and what happened, but she would never tell me. So when we got to the hospital, I saw that my uncles, grandparents, dad and step-brother there but my step

Throughout a school year, illnesses are more likely to arise due to the fact that students are packed in classes, and sick students who aren’t really sick still attend school. Illnesses are likely to arise even if you aren’t in school, but being in school increases this risk.

I didn't understand what was going on or what he had done, but I knew he did something bad. I had never heard my parents fight like this before; so much yelling and crying. Something was definitely wrong. Then my father was gone, never seen again, but the damage had already been done. This time period of my life was filled with many different obstacles, both major and minor. Overcoming all the obstacles during this time in my life was not enjoyable, but through mental strength, hard work and support from my mother, and help from family and friends, I was able to move past this obstacle. This period of my life has helped me to become a better person and made me stronger mentally and emotionally.

As a naïve of Richmond City I have struggled through many obstacles. The biggest obstacle I have faced is observing the children in my family suffer from lack of parenting skills and as well as the absent of a figure in the home. From my personal experience, I did not grow up with my biological father in my household, but instead my grandparents stepped in to assist my mother with my upbringing. However, my grandfather dropped out of school in the third grade to work on a farm that his parents owned; without an education the only job he able to obtain and keep was a carpentry job, which he held for 65 years. My grandmother also dropped out of school in the twelfth grade and later returned to obtain her General Education Diploma (GED) and a Commercial Driver License (CDL) to help her obtain a position with a nursing home.
