I Remember When I Was Growing Up, My Parents Used To Become Vey Annoyed With Me When I Stated That I Could Not Do My Homework Or Could Not Do Other Things I Had Been Asked To Do.They Would Respond With The Advice That I Could Do Anything In Life As Long As I Believed In Myself And As Long As I Was Willing To Work Very Hard. The Word, Can't, Does Not Exist In My Vocab Steve, I Sometimes Find Certain Tasks Difficult However Always Believe That I Will Be Able To Succeed, My Father Would Say.He Worked Very Hard To Make Me Understand And To Take On Board This Message, Which Would Eventually Prove To Be A Valuable Lesson For Me To Learn. It Has Helped Me To Achieve Many Things And To Also Overcome Some Of The Issues I Had In My Life.School And EmploymentI Was Not The Brightest Student At School And As Previously Mentioned Would Often Say That I Could Not Complete The Work Through My Lack Of Belief In My Own Ability. Through Hard Work And Determination Though, I Left School With An Impressive Set Of Examination Results. I Continued This Success Into My Work Life And At The Age Of Twenty-two Had Passed A Number Of Insurance Exams And Had Become A Qualified Financial Advisor.StutteringFrom The Age Of Four I Had Suffered With The Speech Impediment Known As Stammering Or Stuttering. By My Early Twenties I Had Had Enough Of This Struggle And Went About Trying To Overcome The Stutter. It Proved To Be Very Difficult And My Progress Was Slow. I Had Superb Support From My Family Who Would Always Pick Me Up When I Was Feeling Down And Who Also Continued To Ram Home The Message Of Never Giving Up. During The Hours Of Practice I Would Regularly State That I Could Not Do It, My Family Would Not Accept This And Kept On At Me To Keep Believing And To Think Positive.After Nearly A Year Of Working And Practicing Very Hard I Managed To Eradicate The Stutter Which Is My Biggest And Proudest Achievement In Life.WeightThroughout My Life I Have Had Problems With My Weight. I Was Never Happy Being Fat And At The Age Of Twenty Decided To Try To Lose The Weight. It Seemed To Take Forever To Achieve The Weight And Size I Had Targeted And As Usual There Were Many Times When I Was Close To Giving Up. From The Lessons Learnt And With The Support From My Family, Eventually I Did Lose The Excess Fat.Stephen Hill
