I don't know if I could pinpoint one thing that was harder than any other. Two that were really hard for me, though:

- At the end of my sophomore year of high school, I was planning on running for Student Council Secretary. I had planned on it since I first realised I'd be a member in eighth grade, and I knew I needed leadership positions. However, two of my friends kind of... made a deal? or something, and they ran for Secretary and Treasurer. I didn't want to run against them, so even though it was really tough for me, I didn't run. (The upside to this story? God is so faithful. That following year, I ended up getting so many unexpected leadership positions, and I was even Student Council Secretary my senior year.)

- When I went to Israel this year, I got nearly no sleep. I went to sleep late praying and doing QT, and I had to wake up at 5:45am or earlier each morning so I could make it to the teachers' QT/early morning prayer time. Being attentive to other children's needs as a teacher/counselor when I was so tired was pretty tough. But again, God's grace was all over me--somehow, it became so easy as God kept refreshing me in the place of prayer.
