Overcoming Obstacles

Decent Essays
The obstacles that I have had to overcome within my life has made me a stronger person and shaped the way i feel about life. Firstly, I came from a low income family. This has shown me all the ways a person could fail, but it has also shown me how to avoid these downfalls and be a better person. A lack of high education in my family drives me to go and finish college and then maybe even go to graduate school. Another obstacle that I have had to overcome is the rigorous classes that I have taken throughout middle and high school. Education has been a big part of my life and I knew it was important to have a good education; in turn I pushed myself to be better in my education. Taking honors classes throughout all of my middle and high school
