essay on overcoming a challenge?

Answers

Explanation:

     There are many challenges that people must take but there are also many ways that are helping us to overcome them. The biggest challenge of my life was when I wanted to check in the University that I would like.

      People were always telling me that the tests, University, and studying will be difficult for me, but I told myself that I will accept that as a challenge and I will succeed because that is my biggest wish and challenge in one. Tests were very hard but I overcome every challenge with my 3 principles:

Make a plan; Work smarter, not harder; Gratitude. Those principles were working phenomenally for me and I felt amazing when I finished every test.

      I finished my studies and I felt special and smart. Those principles were helping me later on to overcome any challenge in my life and I am very thankful because of that.

Read this excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.

In the next few years following the publication of his book, Champollion deciphered many more hieroglyphs. He was named "Keeper of the Egyptian Collections" in Paris in recognition of his accomplishments. Then, in 1829, he got what he had always wanted. With the backing of the French government, he journeyed to Egypt to see the ancient hieroglyphic inscriptions for himself.

What inference can readers make based on the details in the excerpt?

Only the French recognized Champollion for his accomplishments in deciphering hieroglyphics.
The French government considered Champollion’s work to be a significant achievement.
Champollion published a book just so he could take a free trip to Egypt.
Champollion had to see the hieroglyphics in person to be able to write about them.

There is one situation in my life that made me change up my mind about many things and it made me respect everyone around me more than I did. It was one September night and because it was still warm outside we were laughing and drinking outside near the sea. Suddenly, it started to rain and I never thought that I would see the flood that night but I did. I had great luck because I saved myself and my family from the flood. I was feeling so scared because of it and I started to question myself every day. It causes a change in me because now I am grateful every day for what I still have.

should voting be mandatory? yes or no?
come up with three reasons to support your claim

Answers

Answer:

no

Explanation:

1. America is the "Land of the Free", then people should have the choice wether to vote or not.

2. Some people dont inform themselves and chose not to vote because of this. If they were forced to vote, then they would just randomly select a candidate and it would have a negative impact.

3. The mass media only puts specific information on the news or social media platforms, so a lot of people become brainwashed by the things that they hear about on social media or the news. This would result in those people voting for a candidate involved in the corruption of mass media and not actually looking into the candidate's beliefs.
