Perseverance is simply not giving up. it's the ability of ones persistence, tenacity and effort required to do something till the end, even if it's very difficult.
Sometimes I define perseverance in my own way as endurance, because the ability of one to perservere is to endure even when things continue to get harder.
When I was becoming of age I've always wanted to be a mathematician because I love quantitative reasoning right from my primary level so when I got to the secondary level, it gets difficult and very complicated for me to get through mathematical equations but I stood my ground always learning how to solve a problem.
but I kept failing all the time, to an extent sometimes my mate make gestures of me. I feel bad but I kept learning and learning everyday because I believe someday somehow I will get through it.
As I round up my junior secondary level my results get more discouraging and i was so devastated and frustrated to a point i was already giving up and couldn't face my mates but my mate continue to make mockery of me and that made me more stronger and courageous to put more effort that i will be able to scale through this hard times.
Next session I was in ss1 I starting picking challenge to solve some problems( equations ) right after the teacher is out of the lesson and I also decided to be doing my juniors assignment despite knowing fully well that I'm not capable but I kept making the errors and get corrected which makes me more determined and not to give up so easily.
They session passed and my performance wasn't encouraging I still won't let my self sleep I need to wake up and achieve that which I'm pursuing.
When I resume for the next session I hardly have a sleep, always trying to solve one or more problems but keep failing, now looks like I'm dumb and not brilliant because i kept failing and failing but i never gave up not untill my final year.
I kept enduring until i finally saw light at the end of the tunel, because my hard times actually paid off at the end and my goals was finally achieved.
Learn to take a calculated risk no matter how rough it will be and don't stop doing what u love just because your friends or colleagues look down on you.
You will always be praised at the end. And when ever you fail, learn from it and keep going forward, failure shouldn't discourage you but make you stronger. Thank you for this great opportunity I'm really grateful to be part of this family.
