REFLEXION :

Unit 2: Facing life's obstacles

Completing the second unit of this book, I was able to benefit from a
variety of new things from the class, as well as fresh my memory on things
that I had forgotten, just needed a reminder about it; however, in this unit
we had to learn how make an outline to write a biographical paragraph
about how we overcame obstacles making use of a vocabulary list and
grammar from the unit
During that week, the Biggest hurdle in the class for me was time
management, and lack of practice of assignments in class was and still is a
challenge for me, but I had to make a change in my life as to how I can
manage time management. In the other hand, focusing on the second unit
of this book “Facing life's obstacles” was a challenge for me because we
related some obstacles that we have faced in our life and it was difficult to
write that story as part of a writing, but it helps me to understand many
things into my mind that was good and learn new things.
within the suggestions that you could point out into this unit is the clarity
of the structure of topics that I had found in the text because some are
very general and don't specify the author's intention in the concepts of
the grammar section.

In 2005, I had eating disorder I began to develop this disease in the most
insignificant way you can imagine, I changed the snack for a fruit, that simple
and surprising. I had never had complexes with my body, but suddenly when
making a major change in my life when we moved from home and I change
completely
After 2 years that going to clinic and different psychologists I started
investigating in my interior and I was discovering that a person's physique is
only the wrapping of everything inside. The body was losing importance, I
began to feel, I began to find small moments of inner tranquility, I began to have
hope, and I could overcome this obstacle.
