Life Lessons When I think of my journey as a writer, I think of the life lessons I learned to get there. In life, you live and you learn. Well, hopefully you learn a thing or two while your feet are on the ground. One of the first lessons I learned was that life isn’t fair and doesn’t always play out accordingly to our plans. Another lesson I learned fairly quickly is that writing is a pain in the ass and it hurts. It hurts heads, feelings, and asses. While I’m up at 2 am finishing a paper I probably
path in their heroic journey, and this is true. The Hero's Journey states that all hero's encounter the same type or kind of challenges. I would never consider myself as a hero, but after reading about how Joseph Campbell described about how all hero journeys can be similar, I can relate that to my life as a soccer player. My heroic journey has changed me in many different ways, both appearance and emotional. When I look back, I can see all of the similarities on how my life reflects back on the
colleagues, he was able to make the hero’s journey. It states that everyone who goes on this journey must follow many stages so they can get to their reward when their journey was successful. My life’s journey as a student is like Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey because I had an adventure out of my ordinary world, I have met middle school student mentors, and I have earned a new experience and started a new life. After many times that Joseph Campbell’s life was a very well earned and being considered
The Hero’s Journey is a concept identified by the American scholar Joseph Campbell. The Hero’s Journey explains several basic stages that almost every hero-quest goes through. He calls this structure “ the monomyth.” Hero’s have many great qualities. i hope one day, I can share the qualities of a real hero in my journey to become a better person as I transition into the public school setting. My life’s journey is similar to Joseph Campbell’s story in that I transitioned from a small private
My Life’s Journey As A Former Academy Soccer Player While learning about Greek mythology, we also learned about the Hero’s Journey, which was written by a scholar named Joseph Campbell. The Hero’s Journey is a pattern that almost every story follows. This pattern follows your life story too, of course were not slaying dragons or saving people falling out of buildings, but your life in some way is following the hero’s journey.

The journey Ever since I was a kid I’ve always lived by the quote “you miss 100% of the shots you don't take”.

Therefore, I will be called to an adventure, the acceptance I will be facing, me crossing the threshold and meeting my mentor, the major ordeal I’ve faced, gaining the elixir, my death and rebirth
The journey put my mental toughness to the test, it required me to be patient due to the demanding and tedious schoolwork teachers force on us that seemed to last forever. God’s strength gave me the ability to study like never before, and slowly my percentages steadily increased.
