Students, athletes, coaches, and teachers, today I want to talk to you about perseverance.  To persevere is to never give up, pushing onward even when it’s hard and obstacles are in your way.

It can be said that there is no such thing as a dumb question, but sometimes it can be difficult to ask one. You may be worried about how someone will react or that they might tell someone else. Maybe you had gotten help before and you are still struggling so you feel like a failure or are somehow letting them down.

When I started hockey I remember playing goalie and forward as my positions. Now Eli Michaud and I both were friends in need at one point and bot had a friend or friends in deed help us to gain both of our confidence when we were starting something for the first try and also look out and come all together as one to help that friend in need.

After a month I seem Mac perished and on day 47 r. Zamperini and Phil were picked up by the Japanese two thousand miles away from where their Odyssey began. Mr. Zamperini's resilience then help him survived two years in a Japanese prison camp. Mr. Zamperini then became a inspirational speaker and wrote two memoirs.

I decided to write about myself accepting the responsibility from the mistakes I made in school when I decided not to do my work on time and thought that I could go at my own pace but I had to accept my consequences for doing this which affected my motivation for school, and caused lots of problems.
