Hard Worker Strength

I never thought my life would change as much as it did during a short, but what felt like a timely manner. One strength that I have acquired came during a time where it felt like everything was going downhill. For my senior year, I was forced to move with my dad in a different state and missed playing football my last year. The overall experience lasted 7 months, but it turned out to be a great experience for me. It hurt since I had colleges looking at me, but it has helped me in several ways. The main strength I acquired was making me a hard worker when I went through all my mixed emotions. Going through rough times made me a hard worker, which came with many other skills.

To start, while I gained the strength of being a hard worker, it made

Now it has helped me see things clearly, and I also think about all the surroundings around me with a lot of thought. In addition, it made me want to have challenges, so I could be able to overcome it. All the difficult circumstances that I will face moving forward, should not halt me from getting through them since I went through a hard transition for my last year of high school. During that time, one hard thing to overcome was trying to settle down and relax when the only things on my mind were pretty much negative. During those months, the main things on my mind would be a whole bunch of why questions. ironically, it made me realize that I cannot think like that, for it would get me no where.

For example, I am much more determined in what I do than what I used to be, and I also look at things from different perspectives. In this case, if I set my mind on a specific task, I most likely will complete it. The tasks can be anything from schoolwork, to jobs, or just helping people out. Being a hard worker, makes me we want to work on the assignments until they are complete. If I never went through that experience, I feel like I would not be as hard of a worker as I am now. As a result, I am happy I went through it, for I have gained knowledge and wisdom from it. Also, I put more work in everything I do especially schoolwork; therefore, I should be able to succeed in life if I continue to keep it up, but without the experience that I went through, I can positively say I would not be determined to get objectives done. It helped me look at things like a puzzle, so I got to have the knowledge to get through hard situations, and so I can be prepared for worse things to come. Another thing I am focused on, is to not let hard times bring me down. Before, I would let stressful times get to me; however, now I will never not let that happen, or I will never let that affect me. While I focus on that, I try to look at the bright side and try to always see the big picture. Without the experience, I would still not take things seriously and certainly not be a hard
