Overcoming My Obstacles

Improved Essays
I have faced many obstacles in my life. I personally believe that one of the hardest obstacles I have faced was overcoming my eating disorder. I was never officially diagnosed with an eating disorder, due to being so ashamed of my problem. The issue started in the early months of my sophomore year of high school. I began to build relationships with the wrong people. I was never really friends with bad people, they just had toxic personalities. Being around such toxic people made me become very depressed.

    Perseverance is a lesson taught through hardship and difficulty, most people learn this skill as they begin their young adult life, but for me, I had learned this lesson at a very young age. The most common societal definition of perseverance is usually taught to people as: “stay strong despite the challenges you face” which is a belief that is interpreted in a number of ways by many people. I believe that the real definition of perseverance is facing a challenge and being able to succeed, despite any challenges someone has thrown at them. Facing a challenge, and failing isn’t perseverance, it's a “try harder next time” mentality that most elementary schools teach students at a young age, but that mentality only gets one so far ahead in life. I’ve faced challenges in my early childhood that were…

    College is an obstacle to overcome, due to the fact that is hard enough to get into a ‘good’ school and even harder to stay in it. Therefore, due to a nearly cosmic fate other hurdles will need to be cleared before a student graduates with an undergraduate degree; and for some students that isn’t even the half of it when thinking about graduate school. This situation is achieved after dealing with monetary worries, grades, and trying to keep a perfect balance of friends, family, and crying in a nice and neat schedule. Overall the truest ‘monkey wrench’ that is thrown into being the perfect college student, is when you fail at that already flawed system.…
