Life's "Brick Walls"

Randy Pausch, a professor for Carnegie-Mellon University, said before his passing, "The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough.  They show up in our life for a reason--to really show us how much we want something."

Tell me in a one-paragraph response about a "brick wall" you have had in your life.  What was your "brick wall"?  How did you get over it?  What did you learn about yourself during that time of your life.

Remember, sign your name at the end of your blog!!
