Journey offers the individual to undergo a process of change and development and allows them to become endowed with experience and goals that may or may not be achieved. To me, a journey is filled with obstacles that eventually lead you to learn a lesson in life. A journey also involves happiness that you find in the most unexpected years of your life. And journeys take many forms to help you mature and shape your mind.
Obstacles are the hardest to overcome in a journey, but once you overcome them they will eventually teach you an important lesson. In primary school, my academics were extremely poor and l was always behind everyone. I had never completed any class work my teachers set me or even put effort into anything. My parents never payed any attention on my academics because they wanted me to enjoy life. So from kindergarten to year 4 l lived a carefree life. I learnt my alphabet 2 years later than everyone else because l never focused in class. My mathematical skills were extremely poor. I couldn’t add, subtract, multiply or divide. I even had trouble identifying the difference between higher and lower numbers. Neither my parents nor myself payed attention to these things until I was in year five, and the application to sit the selective school exams was shoved in my face. That was the moment l realized how oblivious I was to everything, and how there was little chance of me even passing the exam. I began working extremely hard under my parent’s support and encouragement. And I began to improve step by step. In 3 months l caught up with everyone at school. I was extremely happy with where I was, but it still wasn’t enough for me. By being approached with this obstacle, l was able to learn that you can achieve anything by working hard and there aren’t any shortcuts in life. Despite being very young at the time I will always acknowledge it as the worst obstacle l had to encounter.
When it comes to journeys one will always encounter
