Many times in life there are goals that we want to achieve, but an obstacle occurs and stops the opportunity to achieve the goal. A goal that has occurred in my life is winning the first place championship in NHRA Junior Drag Racing. I was unable to receive the championship due to having late reaction times, and the other competitors being able to beat me. When I had realized that I was unable to receive the championship I was disappointed, discouraged, and determined. I know that if I want the championship next year I will have to put in an effort and concentrate during the time of the race. I haven't overcome the obstacle, but I have overcome the emotions I had. I have continued to stay concentrated and keep practicing my reaction times.
When faced with life’s obstacles you need to have a support team. Whether it’s friends, family, or a stranger that you met going through the same thing, there is always someone you can relate to and show you that the problem is only as big as you make it. If you have to take time off from goals to handle what is more important at the time, then so be it. But know that you will go on with life and come out stronger. If you let a hardship keep you down, you are only failing yourself and showing the people that didn’t believe in you they were right. Take a stand and fight every battle head on. you will learn more about yourself when you
At some point in the many journeys we embark on in our lives, we get to a part where we feel like giving up. Sometimes we give up just before we are about to make that huge breakthrough that we have been putting so much
Just like what Suzie Cameron said,‘’If you don’t do something in life, nothing happens.’’ Especially if there’s a challenge that needs to be faced. To me, I believe that overcoming a challenge gives a sense of accomplishment. You can overcome anything if you think through it first. An example of this is James Cameron, the director of Avatar and Titanic, (and his crew) designed, built, and made a dive into the deepest parts of the ocean. It took them months to build the submarine, called the Deep Sea Challenger. After finishing the sub and were preparing for a test dive, when two members of their team died of a plane crash. This accident could’ve stopped them from reaching their target, but they went ahead because they believed that Andrew
Many people go through struggles in life that they just can’t seem to overcome. However, it is when you find that on reason or one drive in your life that gives you the determination to overcome whatever that obstacle is.
The TV show I chose for a male focus is in the Sports category, specifically titled “NHRA Drag Racing”. A little context regarding the sport itself, it is one of if not the highest ranking professional automotive racing in the world, the sport is only place that features Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars using Nitromethane for gasoline allowing them to travel a 1/4 mile in 3-4 seconds at over 300+ MPH. The announcers for the sport react to the male drivers by giving a high regard for their driving capabilities and character within the sport. Announcers for the male drivers tend to give perceptions that the men, although only paid to drive the car down the drag strip, are generally educated on the mechanical aspects of their car. The language
Realizing that you’ve failed something is hard to do. No one wants to accept defeat, and that's a flaw that most people have. Failure isn’t always negative. However, it isn’t always easy to apply this concept to your own situation either. When we think of failing, we think of not being good enough or not having the qualities needed to improve. We look down upon failure and defeat instead of seeing the raw potential it holds. If you feel hopeless when your goal isn’t accomplished the way you wanted it to be, there is no need to worry: it’s extremely natural to lose motivation when you’re standing face-to-face with disappointment or negativity. What you do have to keep in mind is that recovery can’t be reached without considering three major points: conviction, value, and motivation. Each failure is filled with more
The truth is everyone has gone through some kind of failure of obstacle in there life, I myself i have gone through that and achieved my goals by facing my failures
I am a runner. One who strives for greatness at every moment and doesn’t give in when things get tough. I have aspirations, dreams, and goals which I will stop at nothing to achieve. Unfortunately for me, the life of a runner is filled with challenges and setbacks and only the best will learn to push through the adversity. My defining moment was the summer before my Junior year, 2016. I had set the goal of becoming All-State in Cross Country, meaning placing in the top 25 of all the runners in the state meet. This is, of course, a prestigious title to have, but I had faith in myself. For the first time in my life, I finally understood that preparation is key and if I fail to prepare, I should prepare to fail
An obstacle I have overcome in my life is school. In school I have to work a little bit harder than others so i don’t fall behind. My choice to try harder helped me to keep going.If I didnt choose to work harder and keep going i would never get anywhere in life. I think having to work harder than others pushes me to be my best and makes me a stronger person.
There are many things that can hold people back from goals that they are determined to accomplish. Despite these hardships and dilemmas that we face, if we have fight in us and the correct work ethic we are bound to succeed. I personally have faced my share of obstacles in my life and have been through plenty of hardships. However, I always overcome them in one way or another. For example, when I first walked the halls of Harlingen High School I entered as a shy but ambitions freshman with a lot of friends and unfortunately a lot of enemies. I was always put down due to play playing ability in band. I constantly tried to get better and better and that’s when freshman region auditions came along. I was excited to be able to actually compete
Of course, obstacles slow down one’s progress in achieving a goal, however eventually those obstacles will become minor because you will have learned through trial and error how to overcome and be able to move past that obstacle in order to get closer to

They overcame their goals by attacking their hardships, tried their best, and avoiding any obstacles in their way.Overcome your goals by attacking your hardships, try your best, and it avoid every single obstacle in your way. you can overcome! Believe in yourself and all that you are. know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle!
For example, lemon tartes are one of my favorite desserts, but making the tart crust is extremely complex. I spent hours attempting the crust but kept failing. I was getting discouraged and was at the point of defeat. However, I gathered myself and tried again a few hours later and the crust was a success! The next day I had a scrumptious lemon tarte for my family to eat. This was a time when it would have been so much easier to give up and admit defeat, but I pushed through and was so proud of myself
Having been a Cross Country and track long distance runner in high school I always had the dream of running and completing a marathon. The perfect example of me succeeding and failing a goal at the same time occurred in March 1990 when I ran the Los Angeles city marathon. When I entered the race, my goal was to finish in 3 ½ hours running 8 minute miles, not completing the race had never crossed my mind. My training had been going fine until approximately six weeks before the race I pulled a groin muscle and was unable to run anymore but I was able to maintain my conditioning through other activities. The day of the race I was feeling good with no lingering effects from the injury. The race started out fine and at the 13 mile point I was
Throughout everyone's lifetime, one will confront an obstacle. Obstacles can obstruct or hinder one’s process. Most of the time obstacles have a negative a affect on people because of how difficult they can be. Not making a team, loss of a loved one, loss of a job are some examples of common obstacles that occur to many people. Obstacles are barriers that block people from pursuing what they want to do. They are present in every journey of our life, no matter how big or small. The importance of overcoming obstacles is learning new skills, determination and creating new opportunities.
