494 Words2 Pages

Throughout my life, perseverance has drove me to overcome the various obstacles that have become visible in my life. At an early age, I knew that my academic life would not come as easy to me as it had for others. However, this drove me to want to succeed more, which was possible with the help of my family and friends. My mother provided me with constant support, although she was dealing with the health issues of my brother. My brother was diagnosed with SVT when he was in seventh grade. This put a huge strain on our family, causing my studies to suffer even more. I always knew school was harder for me than everyone else since I have ADHD.

  • Challenges Of Living With Adhd Essay

    480 Words  | 2 Pages

    I believe that my ADHD creates challenges in my job such as getting off track, not always finishing everything assigned to me, and the tendency to talk with my coworkers instead of doing my job. Despite the challenges I face in the work environment, I have to give myself reminders on what I am supposed to be doing and try to make more of an effort to get my job done. In addition to the obstacles I face in the work environment, ADHD provides additional obstacles in the relationships that I have with my family and friends. I do not share the fact that I have ADHD with my friends and that I need to take medicine just to feel and operate normal, so I occasionally feel alone or bad about my schoolwork knowing that I have to work harder for the grades I receive. Similarly, issues arise within my family because my parents have the tendency to get upset when I forget to finish my chores, or my desk is a mess and unorganized.
