My battle against a major fear of speaking in public remains burned into my mind forever. Through continuous practice and patience and consistency, I managed to deliver a professional presentation to a big group of people. This accomplishment brought me tremendous satisfaction. What difficult situation did you overcome?
 
I still battle with them from time to time, but I've overcome some serious mental health issues over the years, particularly in my youth. It was tough because your brain can play tricks on you, but I managed to overcome most of what I thought I would live with for the entirety of my life.

One of my most challenging obstacles was breaking my ankle(three years ago)—it was tough to overcome. I had to learn how to walk with a splint and then a walking boot for 12 weeks.

The pain was unbearable for a while, but I managed to push through.
 
I've been studying to be an online tutor, so I have to pass these online exams which allow only try. So far, I've passed Calculus, Algebra and a few others. Anyway, I find some of the exams to be very difficult and I'm studying to pass some more in the near future.

Questions:

  • Who else has tried something like this and how did it go?
  • Do you plan on taking more exams?
