Hard Times
Everyone goes through tough times in life. Sometimes something so horrible can happen that you don’t want to move on. Overcoming these hardships is one of the most painful yet important things you have to do. Although these challenges in life can bring you down, they can also teach you about independence, confidence, and strength.
When you stumble upon a tough situation, whether it be an argument with someone or a death in your family you have to get through it. Getting through hard times is just a part of life. Like in the story, “A Raisin in the Sun” , the Youngers had to overcome the loss of their income tax money and end up being poor again. As long as you keep calm and do what you have to do to get through such hard times it will make a positive impact on your life by teaching you many things, such as how to be independent. Being independent is very important it teaches you about self respect and helps you to be a stronger person. If you are independent you can depend on yourself instead of others.
Hardships in life can also teach you about confidence. Being confident is very important, you have to get out of your comfort zone in life sometimes and if you run into tough situations you most definitely will have to. Confidence is important because in times of need you will have to be confident enough to not be scared to ask others for help. Sometimes asking others for help is your only option at times. Confidence is all about being proud and not scared to do things that you want or have to do. You need to be able to stand up for yourself and you can do that with confidence. Hardships can teach you all about how to be confident.
The main thing that tough situations make someone gain is strength, believe it or not. It may be hard to go through tough times such as when Grandpa passed away in the story, “The Grapes of Wrath”. It was a hard thing to overcome with a death in the family but they did anyway because that is what they had to do. It made them stronger because they kept moving forward and reached their destination of California and got jobs and worked. Strength is a very important aspect you need to acquire in life. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
All in all you can see how being independent, confident, and strong can help you get through hard times in your life.
