Year Long Essential Question

People face obstacles throuout their life, but it's how they deal with these difficult things that truly shapes their identity. When something goes "wrong" in ones life, or something scary, sad, or difficult gets in their way one may think their life is crashing down. This instinct to fall apart versus the actual reaction is what makes a person who they are. If one gives in to the initial reaction, to fall down and decide not to get up, this is an example of someone without hope or faith. But people with this hope also have strength, to get up and beat the obstacle that is put in front of them. Even if one does not overcome a tough time the way they had hoped, that also shapes them. That realization of admitting that one did not handle something the correct way or the way they had wanted also is a step in shaping themself into the person they want to become.
