Overcoming Obstacles

Improved Essays
People always have to deal with problems whether they are physical or not. Some may have to face them more than others but it still is a challenge. I have had multiple challenges but one of my most challenging one is when I was in sixth grade. It was basketball season and we were in the semifinals for our tournament. The team we were playing was Cass City and the whole team were like men out there. My team on the other hand were all like average sixth graders but cass city somehow matured way faster than us so we were the underdogs. About ten minutes before gametime I just realized I left my shoes in my Dad’s car and he already left.
I asked Chazz’s mom “ Can you call my Dad and ask him if he can come back to my game to drop off my shoes.”
