Overcoming Odds

Night by Elie Wiesel is a perfect example of defying the odds. His story of surviving the Halocaust is so humbling and unbelievable. Being a 13-year-old in a concentration camp is unthinkable. His stories of what he saw make his survival seem unreal. Being out in the elements for years, eating very very little food, food that was not good and who knows how it was prepared. Making it past all the selections and also the brutality of the guards. His story is so compelling and inspirational somehow. I can't imagine being in his situation but knowing now what he went through makes everything i face seem like a tiny bump in the road.
