Topic: Describe a circumstance, obstacle or conflict in your life, and the skills and resources you used to resolve it. Did it change you if so, how?
I believe everyone has faced some sort of obstacle in life regardless of how young you are. Lucky I have been very fortunate to not have faced major hurdles in life (death in a family, hospitalization, parents divorced etc.) at a young age, but no matter how big or small the obstacle is an obstacle is an obstacle.
Starting high school, like many other students try finding were they fit in whether it's being involved in school clubs, band and/or sports I ended being involved in a sport I never thought I would enjoy, Cross Country. I always thought to myself who enjoys running miles after miles just for fun? Apparently I do and I never thought I would be so good at it to make varsity my first year. I truly love the sport, I love that adrenaline feeling waiting at the starting line, I love running in the muddiest courses, I love how mentally strong you get and I love how I can rely on running as my stress reliever. My sophomore year as the biggest and the most important meet came closer and closer, district, I ended up hurting my hip flexor causing tremendous pain and being unable to run the rest of the season. This injury affected me drastically and affected me in many different ways. I was miserable watching the rest of the team prepare for district, I wasn't as confident as I was; I was mentally weak and felt invisible to the team. While I was waiting to recover I told myself next year is going to be my year and I challenged myself in order to be the best! Many times I felt that I had pushed myself to my limit and couldn't continue, but I would always keep my goal in mind and I practice as if I was running a meet and as if starving lions were chasing me. I spend my entire summer running and preparing for the season and when the season finally came I conquered. That year I finished my season without any injuries and better yet not only did I make it to district but I made it passed district becoming a regional qualifier.
Obstacle can equate to motivation once they are conquered, but when facing obstacle it can be easy to quit but in order to succeed president, commitment and dedication are essentials. I have learned that there are no limits to what a human being can do if he or she set there mind to do there best! As a strive to do my best academically I will always recall on this obstacle and remember to never give up and always work hard for what I want!
