Name one obstacle or form of adversity you have had to overcome.
Going to college was a big obstacle for me when I was in high school since I was the first person in my family to go to college. It was difficult, because I had to find a way to save up for college, figure financial aid, pick a school, etc. I overcame this obstacle by working hard in high school to get good grade to get an academic scholarship and to work as much as I could to save up for college. I also sought help from teachers, coaches, friends, family, and my own personal research to understand financial aid and to choose a great college like Moravian.
