The Grand Canyon is an awing miracle, but the most interesting thing about it is how it was formed. Water, simple and pure, was what carved the natural landscape of towering rocks. Hardships are like water, powerful yet plain, carving us out to be strong and beautiful. A hardship can positively impact a person's life because they influence outstanding personal growth. When I was seven, my grandma, “Nanny,” died of ovarian cancer. We were very close, so the loss shook my family to the core. Obviously my Nanny went through extreme physical pain, but my burden, although not physical, was hard to bear. It took around a year to fully process what had happened, but through the trials of our own confused minds, we came through the grief unified.
