An example that I find myself using in every day life is when Im at the gym, doing those last few painful reps, I just think of the positive comments girls have made about my body and BAM! Im determined. |

Paperboy  Posts: 33 Joined: 21 Sep 2008   | Man, what a coincidence. I started an English Language Arts exam on the same topic today. Goals, dreams, ideas, motivation, overcoming adversity, etc. Do you need specific examples, or just keywords to get the brainjuice flowing? |

If you're in Canada, and in grade 12, then you are taking this exam, everyone is. Or perhaps an odd stroke of luck. Yes, all of these post say more or less the same thing, the problem with me is hardships, ironically, are hard to come by. I don't often put myself in harms way, and it's difficult to write a complete paper on just going nuts. Or what I've done when my inhibitions have been lowered. What I think I will write on is my experiences with rugby, a sport that besides being awesome to the core, is a gory and brutally hard game. For someone who shirks stress and hard work like a pro, I surprised myself somewhat in how I stuck with it, even after tearing my shoulder muscle in a practice. Perhaps it's all the blood I lost. But thanks people, your suggestions will help me make my monologue/personal essay be much more intense and to the point. |
