He was defeated in elections until he was 62, and he failed the 6th grade. I chose him because he won the Nobel peace prize, and was a prime minster two times. -Sophia

I think Oprah had the biggest adversity, because she was abused as a child. And being abused is a big impact in life. and she was fired from her job thats not as bad but that still could cause depression or set her back. but now shes one of the richest women in the world and has her own tv show. ~ Kian

J.K. Rowling

2017-11-07 13:07:41 UTC

J.K. Rowling was a famous author known for "Harry Potter" but before that she was divorced living in poverty and a single mother. After she wrote Harry Potter she became one of the richest woman in the world and continues to take the money she earns and donate it to charity. This is why J.K. Rowling is the person who persevered the much.

I picked him because he was rejected from film and theater school and from TV 3 times. After that he ended up being a famous director today. I thought he had the greatest adversity because even though he failed many times he didn't stop and now today he is famous for being a director.

He had to compose some of the best symphonies of all time. He was deaf so this must have been a challenge for him, he couldn't hear the symphonies he composed so it is very unbeleivable that he composed these. sierra weaver

Winston Churchill

2017-11-07 13:09:56 UTC

_{J.K. Rowling was a famous author, because of her series "Harry Potter" she was the best selling author. Instead of using the money for herself she donates the money to charity.She faced many challenges, she was abused by her husband, divorced and was a single mom.}

Maddie Rutch: Albert was unable to speak until he was 4 years old, and couldn't read until he was about 7. His teachers and parents assumed he was handicapped and anti-social. eventually, he was expelled from school. Albert overcame many challenges, and is not the new face for physics. He came up with many new and educated ideas, even without schooling and not being able to speak.

J.K. Rowling faced the greatest adversity. She was poor, surviving on welfare, and trying to raise a child, all while writing a novel. Out of all of the people on my list, she went from one extreme to another. One day she was on her last ropes and then started to earn more and more money.

Luke Dawson

The greatest adversity Abraham Lincoln is that he faced was that he went into the army as a captain to fight in a war but when he left, left a private. I think it was the greatest adversity he had was because being a captain is a honor that he some how lost which took him down to a private.

Winston Churchill was known for....

2017-11-07 13:12:05 UTC

He was known for winning the Nobel prize and being elected twice for the prime minister for the UK

Why...

2017-11-07 13:15:28 UTC

I thought that it was the greatest adversity because it took so much to do what he did and he continued to learn from his mistakes to become Prime Minister twice.

Jackie Robinson

2017-11-07 17:51:17 UTC

I believe he persevered the most because he was underestimated because his skin was a different color . Because back then every body that played in the MLB was white but he was African American so he would have to be as twice as good as the others. But when he was in the MLB he received threat letters from people saying people were going to kill his wife and his son and when he played people would try to hit him in the head with the pitch and they would say insaltes to him and when he had to fight he couldent so he had to persevere the most in my opinion.

He got cut from his High School basketball team, missed more then 9,000 shots, and lost 300 games. Just to add, his team didn't trust him to make the game winning shot. I say that he is the greatest individual who failed is because he came back around and showed everyone that he is better then others by being the best basketball player of all time. He showed everyone up.

Abraham Lincoln

2017-11-07 18:38:24 UTC

Abraham was a great president, regarded as one of the best. Although this may seem like it was a successful life, there is a lot more to it. He went to war as a great captain, but returned as a private. Private is one of the lowest ranks. He failed at making his own business. He lost many elections before becoming president.
