The struggles that you have gone through can you see some positive effects on your character because of it?

Joseph was favored by his father over ten older brothers. He got the fancy clothes and preferential treatment and apparently thought he deserved them. when he had a dream of his brothers bowing down to him, he told them. What could make such a boy grow up? In Joseph's case maturity came only through calamity. his resentful brothers threatened to kill him, then sold him to slave traders. As a slave he resisted ual temptation, and for his troubles was accused of and throw into prison. Yet he emerged with a wholly different character than as a boy. Summoned before Pharaoh on a whim, Joseph the prisoner behaved with confidence and tact. Pharaoh gave him a huge government program to administer, and he carried out his tasks with tremendous skill.
