I have always had a determined spirit. If there was something I couldn't do, I was determined to get it done. Sometimes I think my parents should have given me the middle name "determined." When I had a professer in college tell me I set my expectations too high to make dean's list while still on academic probation it made me even more determined. Although at times I did want to give up I would remember that nothing gets accomplished by not doing anything. My parents and teachers instilled in me to keep on trying and to never give up. Although at times it was frustrating, I am thankful that the people throughout my academic life and childhood encouraged me to keep on going. To this day I am still at determined as ever. My first year of teaching was HORRIBLE! I could have given up....but that determination and my strong-will kept me going (and of course God's help) and today I can say I have learned a lot. and have become a better teacher and now am in my 6th year of teaching! Today, I encourage my students to keep trying and never to give up because again again they can fall....but eventually suceed! :)

Good for you, you kept on - too many times our youth give up because it isn't easy or takes longer than a minute - what an opportunity you have to help them learn to keep trying.
