Overcoming Obstacles

My family makes a sufficient amount of money to take care of home necessities, but we only make so much money that we consider higher education a luxury. In addition, growing up without my father I have had to overcome many challenges including a lack of confidence and self love. Over time I have overcome these obstacles and I am proud of the young man I am today. I still find that I am my biggest critic, but instead of getting down on myself, I push myself harder to grow. Making mistakes is something I have accepted and have come to understand in order to get closer to my objectives both onstage and off. Everyday is an opportunity to learn, I make the choice challenging myself and grow as a student and as an artist. My background of growing

Reflecting on all the times in my life that I have had to overcome obstacles there is a long list of mishaps, lessons learned and many other adventures. The top one of the list is going through US Navy boot camp, which consisted of basically being torn down and built back up. In short you are told that the way you have always learned things from as early age is the wrong way and there is only one way the Navy way.

“We are not what we've done. We are what we’ve overcome.” This set of wise words implies that our true identity is not defined by the achievements we have made, but rather by the obstacles that we manage to overcome and what we learn from them. Like most others, I faced some struggles growing up, and they have played a major role in who I am today. While, some of these struggles consisted of physical barriers in the way of my education, others were economic struggles, later serving as my motivational drive for doing well in school. Each of these has taught me valuable lessons and are the reasons why I am the person who I am today.

THE well one more obstacle i became over was to become good at wrestling and i actually started practicing and my coach believe me and one my last tournament i got second place in my tournament and they were all proud of me How i overcame my obstacles was i just kept doing what i needed to do to become successful and i didn't do it by myself i had many people to help me friends family and sometimes people that i don't know and i just never stopped when i was tired or was done with it but people showed me that never give up on your dreams and i just thought of what the prize at the end of the road would give me and it gave me stuff that will help me in life Well one obstacle was that i had to bring up some of my grades and if any of my friends

As a child, I dreamed of becoming a nurse. However, my strong repugnance of blood and needles made a nursing career highly implausible. I had never set any logical career goals. Even if I had, the pursuit of any goal would have had to be put on hold, as I became pregnant at the age of seventeen. When my children were still very young, I thought about pursuing a teaching career and decided to enroll in college; however, my college days were short lived, as I was a single mother of three sons. My middle son faced learning challenges and I felt the need (and desire) to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom and focus on the needs of my children. When they got a little bit older and started

Overcoming anything can seem out of one’s reach. I have faced many obstacles in my life. The challenge I would like to share is obtaining a college education while having a family. Being a strong willed person has helped me to make a way for school. It became an obstacle when, I graduate high school. I had been put on homebound due to; I had my first child just months before I graduated.

In my life I have faced many obstacles. There has been times when I was unsure about how I was going to handle a situation and how I was going to move on from it. Although some obstacles may be abominable, I am a firm believer of "everything happens for a reason". If God brings you to it, he will help you get through it.

Everyone faces challenges and complications in their life but i strongly feel what is important is what you learn from that obstacle. Throughout my junior year i was dealing with a situation that lead to events that i never thought would happen to me. My mother, father, sisters, and i have been going through some challenges that caused my family to split. It began when my parents divorced and my mother met someone who didn't respect me nor my sisters. I couldn't explain how difficult it was to listen to the negativity that went on in that house. Its hard to wake up and smile knowing you're not welcomed in your own house. My mother agreed with everything he said and he was clearly the king and we had to bow down to him. Eventually i ended up

Going through your life without an obstacle or setback is unrealistic. You are bound to have them no matter what you do. Some obstacles are harder to get over than others and some are minor and easy to deal with. All of them though, are very important to your life and shape you into the person you are now or will become. Everyone deals and manages with them differently, but it’s how it affects you after that is important. Did you come away from it stronger or weaker? Did you learn a lesson or not? Each obstacle you overcome should hopefully make you a better person in some way, shape, or form. I have had many personally, but one that has impacted me the most had just recently taken place in my life.

An obstacle is something that blocks one’s way or prevents or hinders progress. Many individuals have faced some type of challenge in their life, which has hindered them from progressing forward. Unfortunately, we can’t prevent these obstacles, for there a part of our everyday lives. But, what we can do is choose how we react to them. Not all obstacles are unpleasant. They force us to dig deep and find strength, and courage in ourselves. An obstacle that I have faced in my life that I am proud to say I have overcome, was my father being deployed several times in my youth. My father is an E8 (MSG) for the U.S Army. He has been serving his country for 19 years. During this time, I had to face multiple obstacles such as, maturing quickly, and

I never wanted to admit it before, but my biggest obstacle is to financial freedom is not the economy or inflation. The biggest obstacle to overcome financial burdens is myself. While reading through articles and starting a budget worksheet I found my spending is out of control. I need to take control of my future and stick to it.

As Voltaire once said “ No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking” and with the help of Google, I am pretty positive I have at least a little understanding of what this quote’s purpose is. As we live our lives, we are faced with obstacles to overcome to accomplish certain  goals we are after. When these obstacles or problems arise we have to stop and think about  how to solve the issue to be able to move past the issue, and continue to work towards our goals.

Overcoming an obstacle. That is a very powerful phrase. People are faced with many many obstacles everyday of their lives. There are many different ways to deal with the obstacles that come into your life. A person must have a strong mind to process the problems. Not everyone can handle what hand life deals them.

All the challenges and obstacles we face in life have a meaning behind it. We all fear the fact of failing or even being looked down on and labeled as a failure. In school we all are measured with results, you either fail or pass, no in between. At first, people are afraid of failure, instead of embracing and learning from it, they run away from it and try their best to ignore it. We all fall under this subjective viewpoint; it’s just that it is the initiative of getting right back up and learning from your miscues leads to success. We all detest the matter of failing and not coping with the expectations, but in terms of reality, I believe that we should embrace failure and use that as a building block to success.

Have you ever fought so hard throughout an obstacle you thought maybe you had made the wrong choices, or weren't good enough only to find out in the end the importance of overcoming that obstacle helped you in more ways than ever before?
