If someone said the word overcome to you, what would you think of?
If someone said the word overcome to me, I would think of someone who is able to fight any obstacles in their life.
What is the opposite of overcoming to you?
The opposite of overcoming is succumbing to the challenges in your life and allowing them to determine how you live it.
What famous person do you think overcame well?
A famous person that I think overcame well is Bethany Hamilton. When the professional surfer got her left arm bitten off in a shark attack, she continued to do what she loved even though she was traumatized and had to completely change the way she lived.
Who is someone you know who has overcome?
Someone I know who has overcome is my mom. These past few years have been very hard for my family, but she continues to show her strength as she cares for me and my siblings as well as giving back by running a nonprofit.
What is something you’ve had to overcome?
I have personally really struggled with the word overcome. I have dealt with depression for a long time and sometimes it feels like it is a never ending battle that I keep losing. But I also believe that overcoming doesn’t just mean conquering, but it also means fighting. Just because something might seem small or insignificant, it matters just as much.
