“Adversity causes some men to break--others to break records”

-William A. Ward

            Adversity can cause certain people to break under pressure. Some other people will take their problems as a challenge and plow through them. Maybe at some point in your life, something will go wrong, you can choose to let it swallow you whole, or you can choose to do what it takes for it to be right. One day you might have a teacher who gives you an extremely difficult and time consuming project worth 500 points. You may want to quit right then and there and let it ruin you for that whole class. You may also choose to accept this challenge and ace it with flying colors, and it’ll be known that you were the one to complete this task and do it perfectly.
