Case: As you complete your work for this course, consider how your trials and obstacles can lead to success. For example, are you struggling with a certain area of writing? Are you struggling with completing the work? This week is a good time to consider areas of struggle, or trials, and reach out to your instructor to think of ways to remove these obstacles to continue on your path to successful course completion. As you continue with the stages of writing to draft your informative essay, be aware of your obstacles and actively seek to overcome these obstacles.
Part of facing obstacles is rethinking and reworking your path as you move along your quest. Writing a draft helps you consider obstacles you can overcome through revisions. You will continue through the stages of writing to first writing a draft of your paper, and then to revise and proofread your paper. As you do this, you will consider the obstacles encountered in the draft and resolve these through the revision process.
Here are some heroes who helped others resolve obstacles and trials:
Corrie ten Boom, the writer, worked with her family members to help many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during the Second World War by hiding them in her home.
Alan Turing, the father of artificial intelligence and theoretical computer science, helped the Allies defeat the Nazis by intercepting many coded messages. Although hard to measure, it is estimated that his work shortened the Second World War in Europe by 2-4 years and saved millions of lives.
Emily Greene Balch, a Peace Prize recipient, was an economist, sociologist, and pacifist who had a long-standing interest in social issues such as poverty, child labor, and immigration.
Bill Gates, a business person and technology guru, is also a philanthropist. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation focuses on healthcare goals, such as HIV or AIDS research and malaria vaccines.
