FACING THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE

FACING ONE OF MY THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE

 One of the major adversities in my life was my best friend moving away . Looking back, when  my best friend and the only other kid that lived in the neighborhood moved away. Additionally, I knew her since I was seven years old and we use to play seven days a week and our families were also close. Whens  she moved, I took it hard and I was sad and lonely. I always tried to find things to keep me busy, but the results were always the same, I was alone. What helped me overcome this adversity was being positive, having flexibility, perseverance, and creativity. I was able to keep myself positive and not fall into a depression because I would keep telling myself that new kids will move into the neighborhood. Another is flexibility, I was able to adapt to the change rather quickly by playing games that only involved one person instead of games that needed two players or more. Additionally, perseverance is another quality that I had that allowed me to not give up and keep finding ways to entertain myself when I missed my friend or needed to invent a new one person game when I got bored of the other one person games I created. I was also creative in finding ways to solve my problem by thinking of ways to replace my friend. For example, creating games to play by myself and asking my parents to buy me a pet or a video game systems . However, there are also environmental factors outside of myself that helped me get through this adversity.

Still facing the problem and missing her from heart
