Through out life everyone is faced with many obstacles. A person can choose to overcome the obstacles or let the obstacles overcome them. While obstacles come at all different degree levels it is the persons choice on how they react to the obstacle that they are faced with. My biggest obstacle in my life would be overcoming bullying in middle and high school. In school, I was bullied but I chose to overcome it by talking to people, joining extra activates, and helping other people that dealt with the same thing I went through.

We were given the next work set, although we were already exhausted from the previous hour of swimming. My arms could not longer move the water around me, and my legs felt as if they were on fire.

We both started laughing, and although this made our abs cringe with extra effort, the laughter made it easier for us to finish the set. With a simple look, I was able to change the environment of the lap lane from one of pain and anguish to one of amiability and togetherness.
