Obstacles are hard, facing them is what makes life interesting. In life, people will always have obstacles standing in our way, but there is always a way to overcome them. People overcome obstacles by facing challenges, having a positive mindset, and willing to get help/support from family and friends.
In the beginning, facing challenges may seem hard, but they can help people overcome obstacles. In the movie “Soul Surfer,” Bethany Hamilton, the main character, had a shark attack, she lost her left arm. She thought she would never be able to surf again, but she pushed her to believe she can.

In the reading selection “A Work In Progress,” Aimee Mullins, the main character is challenged to use prosthetic legs that do not fit her actual size or do not look good on her. I think she should not be living in those conditions because, walking around in prosthetic legs that do not fit properly can make yourself uncomfortable.

In the reading selection “A Work In Progress;” Aimee has both her legs amputated, but that does not stop her from being confident and positive. This is a good example of respect and excellence because, she doesn’t let nothing stand in her way of being positive. In the movie “Soul Surfer,” Bethany seemed a little discouraged art first, but when she she pushed herself to try harder, she found her self-confidence. If I were Bethany, I would have kept my confidence no matter how big the challenge was gonna be. Having a positive mindset can make you seem more confident than you think you
