Exploring the Essential Question

Facing obstacles has a big role in shaping an individual's identity. For example, once we overcome a problem, we learn from our mistakes and apply it in the future. Our experiences help us to mature. Each time we fail, we learn something. This helps to make us more self-sufficient because now we know what to do in order to avoid another obstacle. If one never has to face any obstacles, then he will never know how to be independent. One can learn more about themselves by seeing how they react when under pressure.
