The Obstacles that Prevent Me from Reaching My Goal
Core beliefs are beliefs that are repeated thoughts that people hold on too strongly. “These beliefs become the lenses through which we see the world. Whether accurate or distorted, our beliefs dictate the choices we make at each fork in the road” (Downing 178). When I was a little kid, I unconsciously formed core beliefs about the world, other people, and myself. For instance, throughout my childhood, my parents tended and comforted me, and they provided food and warmth for me.

Slowly but surely, I started to then ask more questions about my homework than I ever did
