Description
In a paragraph write about a success you have had in overcoming some obstacle, setback or challenge in your life. Try to think of something that was really difficult to overcome, not something that came easy to you. It can be something like moving to another country, or overcoming an injury or getting though a loss. It could also be something like changing your job or learning to swim or going back to school as an older student. Think also of the lessons you learned about yourself and the skills you acquired from the experience.
