Adversity to me is what challenges and obstacles stand in our way. The fear and voices in our mind that we must overcome. Overcoming and having power over adversity is very important. We need to realize we can not hide the truth. We need to take a step and realize what is important. What you have to do. The book “Miracle in the Andes” is a great example of overcoming adversity.

It’s indisputable that the “numbers” aspect of my application isn’t the strongest. Obstacles and challenges often seemed to get the best of me during high school.

Reading and writing are one of the main keys to making it in life. One may even say that the only way to obtain knowledge is through reading. Another fact could be that without knowing how to read you wouldn’t be able to write and without being able to write you wouldn’t be able to read.

Only the strong embrace these and the weak avoid them. Obstacles. They are in life‚ relationships‚ friendships‚ sports‚ and my front yard. “Girls‚ go outside and find something else to do. Your dad and I are trying to rest.” yelled my mom. “Guys‚ let’s go outside and make up obstacle courses!” Eliza hollered across our living room as my parents were trying to watch TV.

Although nowadays there are a lot of hi-tech technologies are involved in our colleges and universities where every student can "attend" a class without leaving his/her house‚ listen to presentations online‚ chat with other students online and other various stuff‚ but I think it’s not a very efficient way to gain proper knowledge.
