Life is a series of constant challenges that one must overcome to persevere. Throughout my life I have faced various challenges but, until my sophomore year in high school I don’t believe I truly understood what a true challenge was. One day my life took a dramatic turn. At the time I failed to see how much my life would truly be affected in all the days to come. I was a relatively healthy teenager when everything began to change. In the beginning of 2013 I began tenth grade, just as any average high school student would. Yet by the end of that very year, I realized I no longer fit into the quo of a “typical high school teenager”. It began as a simple pounding, a painful pulse throughout my head. It felt as if someone had taken a knife and

Every day I fight myself to overcome the pain, to not let a migraine take over my life. At first it seemed impossible, but with time I’ve began learn to conquer my pain. Trial after trial, I’ve began to figure out what works. Within recent months treatment has begun to take positive effects on preventing and ending the existence of my migraines. Yet it has already taken a toll from my life. My migraines have taken me out of school despite my strongest fight and my grades suffered. A teacher I had during this time told me that even if I can’t manage to make up the work and time I missed due to my condition, my education will never end. It is not about the grades but the material I learn and take away from the class. Grades are but a number on paper. Education is what you take away from the class and how you apply it to life. My migraines may have made my life suffer but they taught me an important life lesson. They have taught me to never succumb, but to rise above and fight for the life you want to live. To never let anything or anyone tell you what it is impossible, that you cannot do what you need to do. I was once told I wouldn’t be able to complete a grade or class. Yet I somehow managed to find the strength and endurance to persevere. I may not have gotten all the grades I have wished to achieve, but I did achieve them beyond the odds of …show more content…
Yet I knew I wanted to do something, to not sit around wasting my life and possible undiscovered talents away. I want to make a difference with my life, which is why I plan to pursue conservation efforts. In college my intended major is a double major with Biology and Environmental Sciences. Education to me is my door to the future and with it I plan to make my dreams come true. My plans may change with time, but if I am confident in one thing it would be that I am going to make a difference with my life. I won’t simply be another statistic or number on a page. Any and all challenges that I face, I know I will persevere for I am already facing my most difficult
