Adversity and challenges

When I was little and anyone asked me what challenges I was trying to overcome, I would have said the monkey bars and to finish the book that I was reading. Now, when I think about the challenges that I want to overcome, I know that there are more important things. There are many that I want to overcome but I know which ones that I need to work on more often. There are goals that I have accomplished that were hard and some that were easy. One that I have accomplished that was hard was to get the credit that I needed to make up for my first year at high school.

There are still many that I need to overcome such as getting through high school with good grades so that I can go to the college of my choice, figure out what kind of career that I want to spend my life doing, and to get through the system, therapy, and adoption successfully. Right now I am working on all of them.

Then I have to think about all the adversity that I have, and have yet to, overcome. I have overcome the problem with my mom by accepting what she has done, and that she never wants to see me again, but I still need to understand why. I need to overcome the fact that I might never see her again and I won’t be allowed into her funeral, though my four siblings will be able to. Everyone has things to overcome but the biggest thing is acceptance. You may not know why the person feels but your confusion is not going to make that person change his or her mind. I would like to overcome all of my goals in one day but it takes time and it will be worth it when they are all accomplished.
