True Grit

QuickWrite: I remember when i failed my regents. I was so hurt because i couldn't believe that i failed it. I actually gave up o n everything just because i failed. Than i realized i didn't give my all to the test. If I did then still failed then I didn't really fail. If I failed and didn't really try then that is failure to me.

I had to think hard about myself before i answer the question. Hmmm Do i have grit? Yes i do got grit because I have courage and strength of mind, meaning I can see the small things that matter yet understand the big picture.I got this because my mindset. I think before i act or do things. I hate to quit. That word is definitely not in my dictionary.  I like my grit the way it is right now. I dont think i will want any improvement on it. Im happy the way it is.
