Prompt:

“When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the

choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you,

and be a loser. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested

from failure.”--Mary Kay Ash

Assignment:

What is your view of the idea that every obstacle can be turned into an

opportunity? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on

this issue. Support your po-sition with reasoning and examples taken from your

reading, studies, experience, or obser-vations.

Essay Sample:

Every obstacle can be turned into an opportunity, if one has the right

attitude or perspective. People with this attitude are buoyant, not easily

discouraged, and welcome challenges and adversity. One personal example took

place in sixth grade, when I broke my hand by falling off my bicycle. The doctor

had to put it into a cast.

The cast was a real obstacle. It was on my right hand, the one I write with.

It looked like homework would be impossible! But I learned to type with one

hand, and I did my English and social studies work on the typewrite. My mom

helped me by writing out my math homework based on answers I gave her. The

expe-rience sure helped my typing! It also made me learn the value of work, and

gave me a chance to really learn to appreciate my mother.

In addition, having the cast was an excuse to improve my basketball game. I

was a decent player, but most comfortable with my right hand. But with the cast

on I was forced to practice dribbling with my left hand, and now I can go either

way.

Finally, there was one other unexpected benefit. In art class, I was never

good. But one day, with my hand still in the cast, I tried drawing with my left

hand. To my surprise, I was much better at it than before! The cast is long

gone, but I still draw left-handed and am really quite good at it. Maybe I’d

never have know about this ability if hadn’t made my obstacle in to my

opportunity.
