Obstacles In Life: A Personal Analysis

Improved Essays
All in all, I believe that you need to work hard for what you want. Everyone has a dream. However, achieving that dream is difficult because no one will hand you your dream. Instead, you have to work hard in order to achieve success. Life is complicated. There will be obstacles in your way but those are a part of life. There will be differing opinions regarding the definition of success and good versus evil/bad. Our opinions are shaped through the interaction with societal members, family, peers, and friends. Through all of life’s challenges, our families and friends are there for us. Therefore, in this world, we are not alone.

I have only taken two classes that pertain to my teacher certificate, and in those classes to come I believe that I will learn about the situations I will be in once I find a job. Since I am a sophomore, I have time to take more classes, but I learned that my schedule is full of education and Spanish classes.

I wanted to take classes to get an English as a Second Language endorsement, but since I am majoring with a teacher certification, I do not have the time that I once had when taking my general education classes. However, if I were to have an ESL endorsement I could have more opportunities to find a career pertaining to helping students learn English. In fact, I could use my major and travel to different countries and learn about the Spanish culture. This is what I want to do with my education: learn about what is out there. I believe that having a foreign language as a major teaches me about the cultures of other countries. My future study abroad experience will contribute to their philosophies which will help me understand their way of life. I believe that immersing myself in the community will help me implement the importance of learning new information outside of everyday class work in my

    Michael Jordan once said, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Being born to two immigrants, who have never completed college, and growing up in a low-income family of six individuals, I have faced nothing but a myriad of obstacles in my life. Although at times I have struggled to overcome these challenges, I have always persevered and pushed past each one with my determination to be the best I can be, which has matured me into the young adult I am today.…

I also believe that they call it the american dream because it is most common in America where goals like these are able to be accomplished with a ease that does not exist in other countries.

    Luchy Gonzalez As a growing Afro-Latina I was constantly having to pick and choose parts of myself that fit society's expectations. Living in a country that struggles with race inequalities, I was never fully accepted by the Hispanic or black youths in my school because I’m biracial. I had witnessed a denial of Dominican heritage derived from years of intolerance, violence against Black Dominicans and Haitians, and corrupt Dominican politics. The adversity I faced throughout my life because of these issues greatly shaped the woman I am today.…

    Ever since I read an article about a man who can speak 60 different languages in my eighth grade English class, I planned to learn to speak at least four different languages fluently in my lifetime. I am already fluent in three different languages (English, Hindi, Telugu), but I am still interested in taking courses that will help me become a fluent speaker in another language, like Spanish. I have taken Spanish classes in high school, and I am very excited to continue my study of Spanish at the College of Charleston. I would like to receive a minor degree in Spanish at the College of Charleston to enhance my competitiveness in the job-seeking world, connect with people from different cultural backgrounds and to thoroughly prepare for my career…
