Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date Adversity: The Art of Resilience Introduction Only difficult circumstances allow valor that turns us into courageous persons. Adversity allows one to reach their hands to a higher power for polish; hence, employing this act of surrender, one finds grace inside themselves to carry their adversities. Adversity also gives us the highly vital quality of resilience; one can be bolder and more level-headed, strengthening ourselves and enabling one to go on from challenging conditions.

Even simple enough, life was always thrown at a hurdle challenge. Adversity was the teacher to life; father, a relentless man with callous hands and a golden heart, taught me resilience many times over. He often told me, “You are not defined by the storm but by how you negotiate it.” That summer, our town suffered a terrible drought and became parched, leaving our crops lifeless. Once again, a painful reminder of nature’s cruel indifference, the formerly bounteous fields that had fed us now lay vacant.
