Personal Narrative: My Difficulty Overcoming Adversity

Within my life I have experienced difficulty, overcome adversity, and faced ethical questions, but the situation that I learned the most from was when I became injured during the cross country season and had to go to physical therapy. It was difficult because I couldn’t train with team, I couldn’t compete in meets, and within physical therapy the activities were challenging. I had to work with my physical therapist after school or before school and I was expected to all my exercises at home everyday. I learned quite a bit from that struggle, however. I learned how to organize my school work, social life, and other activities around the sessions, so that I wouldn’t fall behind. I also learned how to be committed to something and not give up.
