"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles" -Christopher Reeve
The quote is saying any man can overcome obstacles but for Christopher Reeve, it must be even more difficult, he is living in a paralyzed body, from the neck down. I can't imagine what its like to live knowing your paralyzed for the rest of your life. People complain that their bodies are not the ones they dream about, Christopher must sit in a chair, requiring assistance in eating,sleeping and all the movements that are required in anyone's daily life.
I agree with this quote because he is speaking the truth, everyone in their lifetime has to overcome troubling obstacles such as school,grades and the long stretch that is called life: children,mortgages, bills to pay, and our children's well being, everyday parents fear that their child will not fit in with society. Everyone lives in fear of something.
I've had to overcome many obstacles as a kid. Moving from Eastside to Park Creek or going to Los Angeles for the first time to meet my dad's side of his family. I've lived through many obstacles as a child and now as a pre-adult. Everyone has to fight personal to private obstacles in their lifetime. No way around it.
