Persisting

=Persisting= ====//Do you sometimes say, "I just can't do this" or "This is too hard"? Do you give up when the answer is not immediately apparent? Persistence means staying the course, taking the time to work at something until you achieve excellence.//====

Last week in class, we were assigned to complete a packet called "Structure of the atom- what is our model?". Skimming through it, I realized that it is 8 pages long- FRONT AND BACK! It took a lot of motivation to get me started with the packet. To be honest, I stopped doing it after every page for the first three pages, because I "needed to take a break". However, the process of this was too time-consuming. I therefore told myself to suck it up and, after doing it in one sitting, I finished the packet. It was surprisingly short, and most of it are diagrams, or questions with very large font. No wonder it's eight pages! I'm glad that I persisted and persevered until the end, because it is only then that I learned something, rather than nibbling at it bit by bit. Plus, I got all of it correct!

The grade I got on the packet!
