Do you know any Christians, Buddhists or Hindus that overcame a bad condition in their lives?

I googled a social media personality from church, and I learned the man had brain development issues and academic struggles in his child hood, but when he became an adult, he got a full time STEM Job while also taking a full time course load in university, and now, according to Linked In, he has worked management positions at STEM jobs for 8 years since graduating school.

I learned through YouTube there was PhD scientist who struggled to get Bs in math as a teenager, but somehow she grew in intellectual capacity over time and eventually got a PhD in a mathematics related field and was hired at a well paying job.

I also know people who were considered unintelligent or slow as children but as adults, they are highly skilled, trained, and educated in both difficult and competitive fields of study, and making lots of money at their jobs. I believe this particular person had a religious background but I did not discuss religion with them to know the extent of their beliefs.
