Answer:
The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
Everyone has faced obstacles of some kind: a struggle with health, a failed personal project, or a financial hardship. This prompt is relevant to most people applying to college – which isn’t a bad thing.
The most important part of writing a personal statement is to show admissions committees how you think about the world and respond to challenges rather than to come up with an entirely new angle or topic. That being said, you probably should not write about a time that you received a bad grade or lost a sports game. Those narratives are overdone and won’t allow admissions officers to get insight into your unique perspective.
What colleges want to see is your ability to be mature, resilient, and thoughtful; they want evidence that you are able to handle the independence and challenges of college. Show the admissions committee how you faced an obstacle, but responded with a creative and dignified solution instead of giving up. Be vulnerable – show your insecurity, regret, and fears. Finally, as indicated in the prompt, describe what you learned and the experience’s permanent significance. If you can’t think of such an impact, you probably shouldn’t be writing your personal statement about the situation. Remember, your personal statement is like your introduction – make sure you’re telling them an important story!
The linearity of this prompt allows you to follow a pretty straightforward outline for your essay: context, obstacle, reaction, result. Putting these parts together, you’ll have a well constructed personal essay! We outlined the basic questions that should be answered in response to this prompt by component (context, obstacle, reaction, and result), but these are fluid and may be placed in whatever section makes the most sense for your narrative.
The second paragraph, the one that starts with: " He lay on his back, and began to pass life in review"

This argument illustrates the slippery slope fallacy as Leo Panchello was used to create a happy picture of how much hard work local business owners put in and then goes on to tell how the light rail would destroy the local business and ruin all of their hard work which brings a sad ending.
<h3>What is a fallacy?</h3>
This is known as a mistaken belief, a faulty or failed reasoning especially one based on unsound argument.
Hence, the fallacy makes the argument weak because there's no indication that a light rail would destroy a main local business in the town as when constructing a light rail, they do not tear up the street, instead, they make the light rail a part of the street
A slippery slope fallacy is a course of action that is rejected because there is little or no evidence that one insists to lead to a chain reaction resulting in an undesirable end.
