The Genre: You’re familiar with the book and movie reviews that appear in newspapers, magazines, and websites. They are just one kind of evaluative writing, but from them we can identify the key components of the genre. First, there is the object to be evaluated. Often this is a single thing—a music CD, a scholarly study, a corporation—but it can also be an idea or process: the impact of a particular band on rock history, the importance of a new trend in scholarly opinion, or the management practices used by a particular sector of industry. Second, there are the criteria…
Challenges can influence the way a person thinks and understands a complicated situation. For example, Kohan’s article states, when going through a hard time, “embracing adversity is almost always discovered in the aftermath” of a tough challenge that may expose hidden talents. Obstacles can show a person their achievement in…

Second, have you ever thought about overcoming obstacles while striving to achieve goals? Everybody has goals they set for themselves, but they don't always try to achieve them. People might try to, but sometimes will have obstacles along the way stopping them. The only thing to do is overcome these obstacles to accomplish the things they wish to do which are their goals. These obstacles may not be easy to overcome but in the end it is worth it.

You must have the strong will to “want” to accomplish whatever goal you set for yourself. For example, when I was playing the game of chicken and always lost in the beginning, this would be the obstacle that stood in front of me, but I overcame this by not saving any strokes to get back. I remember a time when I was saying, “You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back.” Another example of how I overcame my obstacles is obvious. My biggest obstacle that I faced was when the company Gattaca only allowed “pure breeds,” if you will, to be co-workers and be able to go up to space, which was my dream. I surpassed that rule by impersonating my good friend Jerome. A quote he said to me once was, “I got the better end of the deal. I only lent you my body - you lent me your dream.” Jerome was immobilized from waist down when he was hit by the bus, which let me impersonate him and fulfilling my dreams of going to space. All my hard work is finally paying off. My big goal that I have been longing to achieve is in sight. Not many people get to live my dream, but it took a lot of planning and thought for me to sneak my way into Gattaca. My next point will be my final thought about human…

Overcoming obstacles is hard, and that causes us to give up easily. However, we might defeat obstacles if we keep persisting.
