Personal Narrative: How Hard To Get In Your Way
I was born with a hand deformity called a cleft hand. I have gotten two surgeries done on my hand, the first one being at the age of one and the other at the age of nine. The surgeries were done to make it easier to do simple tasks, such as picking things up. This is an obstacle that I have to live with. An obstacle is something that gets in your way, making it harder to complete a task. The easiest thing to do when an obstacle gets in your way is to stop trying and find the easiest way out of the situation. This is something you must not do, because when an obstacle gets in your way, it’s important to never give up, see it from all angles, and adapt to the situation.
When an obstacle gets in your way, there are many reasons why you should
never give up. Some of them are that it will give you confidence, teach you to overcome other obstacles, and the feeling of accomplishment is amazing. Most kids could do the monkey bars in grade one, but I couldn’t do them due to my hand. I never gave up though and, after lots of falls, I finally completed them. When I did, I gained confidence that I didn’t have before. Having confidence helps me overcome other obstacles because I know that since I’ve overcome this one, I can overcome many more. The feeling of accomplishment I got after completing the monkey bars was one of the best feelings in the world. This is a feeling you get when you overcome any obstacle. This is why it’s important to never give up when an obstacle gets in your way.
Seeing a situation from all angles is important when you come across an obstacle because you will find a different way to overcome it and you will realise that the obstacle isn’t as big as you think it is. In basketball, you must get the ball. Sometimes there are multiple people holding onto the ball, and you have to fight for it. I always thought that I wouldn’t be able to get the ball because I don’t have a good grip with my hand, but when it happened in game, I wrapped my arm around and got the ball. I saw the situation from another angle and found a way to overcome the obstacle. Since I found a different way to do it, I then realised that the obstacle was quite small and I could overcome it. This can be applied to any obstacle that gets in your way. Seeing a situation from a different angle helps tremendously when you come across an obstacle.
Not all obstacles can be overcome. In these situations it’s important to adapt because when you do, you will see that you can be successful even with obstacles, you will understand that things don’t always work out the way you thought they would, and if you do adapt, you can still feel rewarded and be positive. My hand is a permanent obstacle that I can’t overcome. Throughout my life I have had to adapt to almost every situation that I’m in. Even though things haven’t worked out the way I thought they would, I have still experienced success, and, when I didn’t, adapting has taught me to be positive even when I’m not successful.
As you can see, when an obstacle gets in your way, it’s important to never give up, see the situation from all angles, and adapt to the situation. I’ve had to adapt to many situations in my life, and I have tried to overcome all of them, even if they are difficult. I think of these things when an obstacle come my way. So, next time you’re faced with an obstacle, remember these three things and you’ll overcome it in no time.
