Improved Essays
Triumphing over obstacles will elevate your mind by giving it new experiences to process and learn from. Have you ever heard of muscle memory? Well, muscle memory is when your muscles do something over and over then your muscles learn to do that thing instinctively.
For example your locker combo. You can do that without even thinking.

If you face obstacles you learn to overcome them and move faster than ever by jumping over them and getting on with life. For instance, the first time you go over a speed bump in a parking lot you learn to go faster on them so you don’t rip off your sick rims.

If you experience challenges you will learn for, not just that obstacle, you learn to bypass all obstacles a little better.
For example, if you lose a phone you will learn to keep a better eye

You may think that being resilient is very hard. Well, it’s not. You just have to see the wall or bumps and try to hurdle it. Sometimes this doesn't work. Get back up and try again or just go around. That is resilience. If you fail a test what do you do? Do you wallow in pity and not try anymore or do you study and try again? Your choice, your choice.

I think that many problems could be solved if people just tried. Trying over and over again is perseverance is what that is. Try and do something you didn’t know you could do at least once a week. That will assure near perfection.

    This technique in my mind is the key to succeeding with everything in life,no matter whether it's a job,school, or sports, it will lead you in the right direction. In my case it is sports, I have dedicated my life to the game of football, I have played nearly 10 years of football,and have much more in me, and not yet have I been satisfied with one "achievement" yet. People ask me on my team" Fabias,why don't you celebrate or show emotions during the game" and I respond" because it's not over yet".

    When I first started university, I had to go to an advising session; while, I do not remember what it was about, The one thing that managed to grab my attention was when the advisor said “I can spot a freshman a mile away” when someone asked her how, she replied” just search for people who look lost and confused”. It struck a chord deep within me because I was really lost and confused, not only that but also anxious, friendless, and afraid of all the responsibilities and of the possibility of failing.

I strongly believe that fixing these problems should be one of the university’s priorities.…

Transforming fear into freedom - how great is that¨ (Soledad O'Brien).
