Last year, I became better at persisting. It happened both in, and out of school. Persistence is a very important quality here at STEM. It is used in endeavors all the time. No matter what class and/or endeavor, persistence is the quality that says not to give up, and work to the very end. One example of an endeavor where persistence is a major part is the storybook project. The storybook project was a long nine week project, and it took persistence to get through that. Even though I freaked out at the beginning of the project, I used the quality of persistence to work all the way to the end. As a younger student, I might not have persisted, but with time and effort, I got better at using the quality of persistence.
