Was there a time wherein you experienced something so difficult but you still got through with it? For instance, you failed the exam that you really worked for and anger feds you up because of those sleepless nights. The teacher gave you a second chance but instead of crying, you worked twice as hard and finally you got what you wanted. You have been diagnosed of cancer and other people would say that it’s impossible to survive, but through faith, you experienced a miracle. Through the negative comment of others, we may be discouraged from believing that we still have hope and the possibilities, but through courage and firm faith, that impossible will become possible.
There was a time when I was saved by courage and faith, I could’ve died in that accident, but faith conquered death. The story goes like this, a day after our graduation in elementary, we went to the beach for our farewell party. We considered it as a usual hangout. We laughed, joked around and used other names like the normal things we do in school. We were banned from reminiscing the past because we don’t want to cry again like in our graduation, while my bestfriend was giving her speech. We were there to create another good memory.

Such triumph can only be accomplished after the fact of the occurrence of a negative event. Two books that support this are Lord of the Flies, and Night. In “Lord of the Flies” the boys on the island must overcome evil and savagery in order to survive.

    Enduring Hardships Personal Response Everyone copes with hardships in different ways. Some people tend to escape their difficulties and start to seek short cuts, while others face the adversities and patiently overcome them.

    Throughout my life, I have faced a number of crucibles but one, in particular, is more prominent than the rest.

Each member of my immediate family chose to deal with the news in different ways, however, I am the only one that elected to live in denial.

Denial is simply unsustainable as you cannot escape the memories that the crucible has formed. Nevertheless, years after my mom was originally diagnosed I began to appreciate the experience for what it was rather than shy away from it; developing hardiness.…
