The Move We are all faced with difficult challenges in our life. Some challenges are more difficult to overcome, especially when our odds are stacked against us. When in reality we have to find a solution to cope with the challenges we go through in life. I’m going to be talking about the challenges I had to face when I moved schools my senior year.

In “Creative Solutions To Life’s Challenges” Frank X Walker talks about how to

problem solve with whatever life throws your way. To do this you have to be creative with it because creativity is a necessary part of life. Walker's story is about how he lived in a poor household but his mom did creative things to make it seem like he didn’t even live in a poor household she would take something simple and make it into so much more. His mom made creativity as simple as breathing and Walker made art his speciality of creativity. This is how Walker and his family made a creative solution to cope with a life challenge. My story relates to this article because of the fact that I had to find creative solutions for moving to a different town and changing schools my senior year which was life challenge for me. Nobody really likes to move schools, I know I didn’t. The end of Junior year I was informed that our house was going up for sale. I had basically lived in that house my whole life. Life was good and my friends were great. I know I didn’t want to leave what I had always known. My parents found the perfect opportunity and they took it. I knew I had to try and find a way a way to cope with the situation even if I had to be creative about it.

In “Creative Solutions To Life’s Challenges” Walker says, “I believe that creativity
­in all its many forms­ can change the way we think and operate.” I think what he means by this is that creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. It is also being able to see the world in new ways. Creativity can

    Nothing seemed to be a challenge. I found it easy to accomplish things. I got this false sense of reality, that you didn’t have to work that hard to be successful. I entered into high school overconfident and unprepared. And I was hit with the reality that it took more effort than I cared to put in to get good grades. When I was really motivated and interested I did well. At the same time my family was dealing with serious health issues with my mother. The proud, caring, loving, and nurturing mother I knew started to fade away. Since there is no diagnosis from my mom, she is seriously ill with a life-threatening condition, I have no idea what my future holds. This motivates me know even further to take advantages of what life has, and push my limits towards success.…

    The day I found out I would be moving from Roseville to Alpena was probably the worst day of my life. I remember the day I found out about the move. Not only was I really upset because I would be moving away from my friends and family, but I was really scared. We were moving to the middle of nowhere, where I knew not a single person. I would be going into my 6th grade year in the fall, my first year of middle school. My brother and I did everything we could to try to sabotage the move, but sadly our plans failed. Nothing could stop this from happening. Everything I knew… was about to change.…

    I was distraught! I could not bear another drastic change in my life. I now, going into high school, had to attempt to make new friends. I came to Baltimore with a pessimistic attitude regarding making friends. I convinced myself that all the girls had their click of friends since elementary and middle school. Therefore, during my first year of high school, I ate lunch alone while catching up on work or went do the gym to shoot basketball hoops. I hated change and thought there was no point in trying to make the best of the situation and actually attempt to make friends. That year I focused solely on adjusting…

    Everyone in the world has had to overcome some kind of obstacles in their life. Obstacles can be a very small or even a very big thing in our everyday lives. For example, an obstacle could be if you have enough money to buy milk to having to overcome being homeless and struggling to get through life all alone. People typically learn from their own life obstacles or maybe even from reading about someone else’s obstacles in their life. Nobody wants to have to overcome any obstacles or have any troubles in our lives but it is just a part of making our lives better from what it was like before. I have learned about many obstacles from many books and movies such as: The Mighty, Of Mice and Men, and A Child Called “It”.…
