From personal experience, any obstacle or disadvantage can be used for something good. When I was a high school senior, I broke my wrist playing basketball right before state playoffs.

Life will always come with obstacles but we must determine whether we want to use the obstacles to fuel

‘’ There are going to be many obstacles in life, and we won’t know what to do with them.’’ Many people go through obstacles in their life while they are getting to where they want to go. If it’s a death in a family, bad grades, or just them thinking they can get through it. We all will get through them even if we think we can’t.

Overcoming an obstacle of any kind can be challenging. The biggest obstacle I have overcome is having a child at the age of 17. Having children can be difficult, especially at a young age. Education has always been important to me and I was unsure how I was going to be able to finish high school, much less go to college, while having a baby. To overcome this obstacle in my life, I focused on the determination I had to provide a good life for my child. The determination I had to provide a good life
