Author’s Note

Thanks for joining me!

Welcome to my Adversity Curation. I created this website to display different works that all have to do with adversity in people’s lives. It also shows the different ways people handle and deal with different types of adversity in their lives. I have included a music playlist, video playlist, and a few pieces of artwork that I think do a good job of representing adversity in other people’s lives.

Part of my inspiration for this curation was the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. This book is about a boy named Christopher who overcomes adversity in his life. His journey through adversity leads him to realize that he is capable of more than he knows. I have included journal entries that I kept while reading this book. They describe what is happening in the book and how Christopher handles adversity.

I was able to grow through this process in many ways personally. One was recognizing adversity within my own life. I was able to learn how to grow and deal with it. I included a memoir with the details of a time I have faced adversity.

I hope that you are inspired by this curation. It is my intention to give you hope if you are currently dealing with adversity. There is always a way to overcome and heal from adversity or difficult times.

Please enjoy!
