Overcome

There are always road blocks in life, some of us have more than others and I know I have had quite a few. Some have been smaller, some have been bigger, and I can't remember all of the obstacles I have faced, but one has been my ability to get better at the sport I love, horseback riding.

With two of my brothers also being sports and the fact that my family isn't the richest in the world, horse's are also quite expensive, it means that I'm not able to ride horses more than one a week and I definitely can't get myself a horse. Which means that I can't excel and improve beyond the few chances that I get monthly.

I have had road blocks in school as well. Being that I am not great with confidence in asking questions to certain teachers, or even raising my hand to answer a question in certain classes, it is harder for me to thrive in those classes. I believe myself to not be as smart as some of the kids in certain classes which forces me into silence even if I don't understand a problem or answer.

Road blocks will always be there for me, I just hope I can eventually get past them.
