Overcoming Obstacles

Chloe Cheong

Everybody has to overcome obstacles all throughout their lives. Whether it was taking their first steps or facing their strongest competitor, they eventually had to face the challenge head-on. However, no one actively wishes for adversity to constantly get in their way.


During this past week in ISM, I was assigned to complete my first annotated bibliography. When I first began researching, I had no idea where to start or how I should proceed with my interest in orthopaedic surgery. However, as I scavenged through many academic articles, I finally found one with a topic that interested me, the recovery process after orthopaedic surgery. As a result, I began my search for more academic sources that related to injury prevention and the recovery process after experiencing an orthopaedic injury.


That is when I met my next obstacle. I was faced with thousands of articles on topics relating to orthopaedic injuries, but most of them did not fit with the topic I had in mind. It took me several nights to find five articles that covered the topic of orthopaedic injury prevention and treatment. I was finally able to successfully complete the assignment to the best of my ability, and I have begun thinking about what I would like to do with my final project in the ISM program.


Even though I faced many obstacles during the process of completing my first annotated bibliography, I also gained many useful skills that will help me when I face adversity in the future.
