Biggest challenge

对于大多数人来说挑战可能是一些很难完成的事，但是在本文中挑战是保持积极的态度。这里讲述了一个18岁的高中生所遇到的困难，并告诉我们这个高中生是如何去面对挑战的。

Greatest Challenge When it comes to challenges, most young adults might say it’s trying to please their parents or trying to keep up with their car and insurance payments, but I feel that my greatest challenge, so far, is trying to stay positive and focused. Some might not see this as being a real challenge, but in my situation, that seems to get harder and harder each and every day. I am an 18 year old senior in high school. I’m on the varsity football team and also active in many clubs and class activities. I have a 3.6 GPA and ranked 50th among graduating seniors; but I don’t think I would have made it this far, if it weren’t for the help I received from my teachers and me staying positive and focused. About a year ago, my family and I were place in one of the toughest situations a family could go through, being homeless. Imagine being a junior in high school and losing almost everything you ever had. It was even more detrimental for my mother. She’s a single parent, making only $1,500 a month, trying to raise three children, put a descent roof over our heads, and taking on a car note and many other expenses, all without any assistance. After being evicted, we entered into a shelter for homeless families. This is where we now reside, but it’s only a one bedroom apartment and we could only stay there for one year: so now we are going through the pain stakes of getting packed and moving. Through all the hardships we have endured, and I truly mean hardships, we have been determined to stay positive. As of now, I have to constantly stay positive and focused. I wake up at five o’clock in the morning to catch the bus to go to school and make sure I stay focused on what needs to be done in class and try not to go to sleep. After school is over, I have football practice, which leaves me tired and exhausted, and from there I go straight to work. To add to the frustration, I have to also make sure my sister and brother have something to eat for dinner when my mother isn’t home. At this point in the year, I am working to be broke. Most of what I make goes to my mother, about two-thirds, and the rest goes towards senior activities and fees. Some days, things get so bad, I just feel like giving up, but then I remember that I must stay focused and remain positive if I want to succeed, because after all, good times follow the bad ones.
