Stairway to SuccessBy Gabriel Griffin At some point, we all are faced with a challenge - a problem that has to be overcome in some shape or form. Much like a staircase, these small challenges can come one after another; the next one is usually higher in importance than the one before it. After reaching the top of the staircase, one may experience relief or exhilaration from the effort given to ascend the slope. The same feelings occur when one succeeds during their life, especially after a long journey up the stairway that everyone attempts to ascend: success. The end result is uncertain, oftentimes slightly blurred and hazy. Even previous challenges may become forgotten after the climb becomes longer and the end nears. Many others climb this same stairway, myself included. As a student and partially integrated citizen, the primary hindrances I face are mainly my education, as well as further including myself into society as a young adolescent. Many more face me in the years to come, and those I have previously encountered have been long forgotten, blurred away to keep them from distracting me from my main goal of achievement.
