It may take a while for every person to figure out how to overcome what they are struggling with but with courage and strength they can achieve it.

Prison was an obstacle for Malcolm because as a prisoner just like Malcolm they would get stress held upon them to improve their behavior and demonstrate to the prison that they were improving to become a better person. To demonstrate that he was becoming a better person he started being an inmate that demonstrated his interest in books. Once he learned how to read with the help of the dictionary he spent most of his time in the library or isolated in his room reading.

One reason it can be an obstacle because if students are not able to afford to buy the required materials then they can get behind in their classes.

Therefore, we don’t get everything but will need them by next class. Due to the fact that we are unable to afford everything at once it causes us to get behind in our classes until we are able to buy everything. Many college students would say by working we could overcome this obstacle but then working can become an obstacle unless students know how to manage work and school at the same time. Another way to overcome the obstacle is to get scholarships when it’s possible to. Scholarships can be a big help because they give you a certain amount of money which can come in handy to buying supplies for school. Another way to overcome the obstacle is to get into programs that the own college provide to help students with books just like the program Fullerton College provides with which is EOPS and stands for Extended Opportunities Programs. Its a program that provides assistance to students in applying for different types of financial aid available. These little things like the scholarship and program can benefit a college
