Example:

I believe adversity is good and serves to make us stronger. My belief in the positive power of adversity comes from my childhood. Things were not easy for me growing up. My father was mean and abusive towards me and my brother until the day he died just a couple months shy of my fifteenth birthday. His death left my family in financial ruin and forced me to get my first job as a fifteen-year-old kid. Although these experiences were difficult at the time, I am confident that they made me the determined and appreciative person that I am today. I hope this mindset allows me to never fear life’s obstacles and to see them instead as opportunities to adapt and grow as a person.
