Persistence

Sometimes we have to work hard to finish something we have started. Think about a time when you or someone you know did not give up on something that was important. Write about that experience.

  1. When I was 12 years old, I suck at soccer. so, I hate soccer. It’s before 2002 world cup. In world cup season, my all friends play soccer. they practice. they like soccer. and play everyday. so I play soccer, too.
    but, I suck at soccer every day. one day, I bought my soccer ball, and practice soccer. but they’re good. my team always lose.
    so, I woke up almost 6 a.m. and take my ball, practiced soccer with my friend. finally, my team win at the game. and at the world cup, Korea team take win with Italy of 4th game. I think these all things are persistence of them.

  2. when i was in 7 grade one of my classmates in Mexico wasn’t a very good student. But she went to school almost everyday, she was living with her grandparents, and they do everything for her. Her mom sometimes visited her, but they had alot of probles, because her mom didn’t want that my friend had bad grades. In the next tear she didn’t go to school, she said that she didn’t need it, but she was rong. She went to life with her boyfriend (that is older), but he wasn’t in school eighter, he stole thing and used drugs. So, my classmate stared to do that too and she lost school. That was very bad for and for her grandparents.because she didn’t went to school and that is very important to finish, because every body need it. And in someparts people cannot work because they didn’t went to school.

  5. I have really hard persistence. Many people say to me “you have really strong persistence.” When I was 5years old my sister enrolled the elementary school. My family went to shose store to buy my sister’s shose. My sister saw many shoses for her and finally she chose one pair of shoses. But my parents didn’t buy the shoses to me. I really wanted to buy new shoses. I told to my parents but they said “No~” So I wore new shoses in the store and I walked out the store with my family. And then store’s clerk ran out and told to our family. “That baby wore new shoses!” My parents were surprise and saw my shoses. When they looked my shoses they laugh and bought that shoes to me.
    And another time, when I was 7years old I went to department store with my mother. I really wanted to get roller skates. I said to my mother “Mom~ please buy the roller skates to me~ please! please~” But she said “no~ It’s dangerous to you!” But I really wanted so I lied on the floor and cried. Many people saw my mom and me. Finally my mom bought me the roller skates~

  8. Sometimes I have to work hard to finish something I have started. When I am ten years old. I likes to play basketball
    but I am really suck at it. Because I really fat and short. When
    we play game nobody wants to be in my team. They say you are so fat, you can’t run fast. I feel really bad. But It’s ture.
    So I decide to shoot 3 points. I practice everyday. after dinner
    I always go to school and practice. Then I always score three points. A lot people pass me the ball. Now I am really tall and thin. I can get rebound and do all kinds of thing. I like basetball

  9. well , I have great and scarce experiences in my life though I am a yong person !
    I never thought one day I can speak , write , read and underestand english as flunetly as now ! I even couldn’t imagine that one day I can do this ! It was night and I was feeling so irritable .I decied to think and to creat a new thing that might be interesting and might make a litlle change in my boring life ! At once something came to my mind . it wa saying that you have to try a new subject and I choose studing english !
    first ten day was so hard I almost give up but again I try so hard ,beacuse promise myself to finish what I’ve started .
    by the way I pay so much effort until now to became successful .
    My english is not so perfect but I hot something that I never could imagine .
    this is one of my great experience and about why people should effort about what they want and they must be so eager and determind and insistent to be successful !
    thanks

  10. I m a really good example for that part:)
    In Turkey students have to take an exam to be able to attain a university(university entrance exam)A lot of people take these exam,but only a small number of them have the chance to get a university education.So you must study really realy hard.
    As many turkish youngs it was my only dream.i didnt give in when i met diffuculties and now ,i m going to be an ”English language and literature student”in one turkey ‘s best universities.
    Another example
    Almost 1,5 year ago i met o guy on the net.He had sense of humour,he was cleverand etc you know:)
    In a short while we fall in love ,we see each other on web cams.It was the only chance since he was living in another citythat is a little far away from mine.But again we struggled for our love.nearly 6 months later ,since we first met on net ,we saw each other face to face :) Until now we couln met six times,but he is an indispensable part of my life.You can live a real love without seeing each other.Also during my university education,i ll be in his city!!
    Love is a work of being honest to each other,being patient and persistent
    Loves:)
