Life is overloaded with obstacles and hindrances that would try to knock people down and paralyze their ability and willingness to strive and seek what they aim for in life. However, one should try to surmount such deterrents and strive, seek, fight, and never yield before achieving their goals and dreams. To attain this and surmount difficulties, self-confidence, determination, strong will, and perseverance should be one’s close friend and ally. Wilma Rudolph is one of those who were able to overcome the difficulties of life with her determination and self-confidence.
Wilma was a girl that had a paralyzed leg caused by polio. She was curious to beat the sickness and to compensate what she missed in her childhood. She went to school on her wheel chair to watch her friends playing basketball and concentrated on every step they did. Her mother took her to the hospital and doctors took good care of her. They advised her to do daily exercises to have the ability to walk. She practiced and trained every day and didn’t give up to her sickness. She didn’t even let her sickness block her way in life. Wilma Rudolph started walking better until she had the ability to run. The college coach encouraged her to win a full scholarship to college and helped her share in championships and win. She had the ability to concentrate, and this ability was important because it helped her put all her efforts into winning again.Wilma became a big runner who challenged and faced many people in running. She became the fastest woman in the world, and she won many gold medals
In conclusion, it is Wilma’s determination and persistence that helped her face life and achieve her goals. As such, people should be aware of the importance of self-confidence, determination, perseverance, and strong will in achieving success in life, tackling and overcoming obstacles and hindrances, and strengthening them so as to no longer be vulnerable to criticism and discrimination.
