    Have you ever faced adversity? Adversity is everywhere in life but you can overcome it. Life has all sorts of hard spots but if you keep trying you will get out of those ruts of life. there is many different types of adversity such as trying and trying but failing at something over in over but you have to keep trying according to "The man in the arena" Theodore Roosevelt "who strives valiantly; who errs, who does actually strive to do good deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotion;who spend himself worthy of cause; who at the best knows in the end triumph of high achievements , and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat" another example is in the poem by Langston Hughes mother to son "life for me ain't been no crystal stair its had tacks in it,and splinters,and boards torn up,and places with no carpet on the floor,bare. But all the time ,i'se been climbin' on....." you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul according to William Ernest Henley in the poem…

    Adversities always occur throughout a person’s life, and they are a positive input on people’s lives. Adversity actually creates the best runners, as a tribe in Africa uses special tactics to always win marathons. They go through an initiation that if they don’t endure they are labeled a coward. The adversity creates an “enormous social pressure placed on your ability to endure pain is actually great training for a sport like running where "pushing through pain" is so fundamental to success”(Warner). Though it may seem like a negative experience at the time, it turns out to be beneficial in the long run. An example was that one of the runners from this tribe won a marathon while he had a gallbladder infection, which are extremely painful. He was able to make it through the marathon because he had experienced much more pain than what he was enduring right then back at home. Adversities are a positive input on a person’s life and they can use the experience from them for future problems. Adversities are positive in To Kill a Mockingbird, as well. Since Scout learned about how to treat people, it helped her come of age successfully. As said in the famous quote from To Kill a Mockingbird about crawling into someone else’s skin and walking around in it, Atticus tells Scout an important lesson about how to see the world maturely. The lesson Atticus taught her, helped her think more maturely about Tom Robinson’s situation, and to not have prejudice. Her struggle with Walter Cunningham helped her learn a lesson that she used later, and helped her come-of-age. Adversity was a positive impact on Scout Finch’s…

    Kevin Conroy once said, “Everyone is handed adversity in life. No one’s journey is easy. It’s how they handle it that makes people unique.” Dictionary.com defines adversity as “adversity n. adverse or unfavorable fortune or fate; a condition marked by misfortune, calamity, or distress.” Adversity is something that everyone will experience at some point in his life; however, some people face greater adversities than others. Morrie Schwartz and Elie Wiesel are two men that faced two of the greatest adversities that this world knows. Elie is a survivor of Adolf Hitler’s destruction of the Holocaust, and Morrie Schwartz was a simple man who lost a battle to Lou Gehrig’s disease, or ALS.
