Overcoming Obstacles

440 Words1 Page

Obstacles are the essence of any problems in life. A successful life means the obstacles you have faced have been overcome. However, what if you are not ready to face them? What if you face them but you couldn’t overcome them? These are questions that everyone faces. It isn’t new to face any insecurities or vulnerabilities as everything in life has them. Pursuing a good career has such problems, and with that, obstacles. Keeping a good average or grade in school can be one of the main factors in achieving the career you want. It is an upmost part of life that everyone strives for. Even so, not everyone acquires it. In this instance, grades become an obstacle of life which you could choose to fight for or chose to give up. It is not easy nor is it something you can say you will and forget about it. I myself had such a dilemma, yet I chose to fight. I reviewed the material, studied hard for tests and made many guiding notes. Now I have straight A's in all my classes and have overcome the obstacle. This has given me strength and a determined mind set. Most importantly it has given me a path towards success, a path towards the career of my choice. …show more content…

Sometimes the career of your choice isn’t really your choice at all. Everyone thinks they know what is best for you but sometimes they don’t understand that what is best for you is for you to decide.

You are the puppet master of your life. Like controlling a limb of a puppet, you control your decisions. You become confident and mature and take the reins of your

Worrying too much about grades can cause students serious problems like not really understanding the work, make them not feel smart enough and lose interest in school and can cause anxiety and other health issues. In the article Mr. Bains said “ Indeed, there are several problems with strategic learners” (Project Information Literacy October 10, 2012 page1/4). One of the problems is students don 't really understand what they are learning if once they reach that high grade they want they will just stop. I am very guilty of only performing for the grade because I did it all throughout high school. I was taught that getting an A was the highest grade you can get so once I reached that A I...

There are many obstacles that one can go through but some are losing a family member, getting sick, or just going through a rough patch in life. Every obstacle a person encounters changes them as a person. Some obstacles impact more than others, but they both will affect the person in some shape or form. An obstacle becomes a definite point in someone's life because they can look back at the time when they did not believe they could over it and show themselves how much of a stronger person they have become.

My Senior Year

Grades are one of the most important factors of my high school career. My grade point average and my SAT's determine what college I go to. They determine my effort at high school. I must do whatever possible to keep my grade point average above 3.0. My GPA currently is ok, but if I could increase it by just .2 I would be much better off.

So I will keep pushing myself so that my grades will increase this year, making it possible for me to hopefully enter a better school then I can right now.
