Today we read the book The Girl Who Ran by Bobbi Gibb, and we talked about the stance persistence. Persistence means to never give up, to stick it out and to keep trying. Persistence is when you stick with something even when it is hard.
Bobbi knew in her gut that she wanted to run. It was a part of her, and she listened to that voice, even though many other voices told her she couldn't and shouldn't. Even though her dad did not support her, she persisted. She didn't have friends who shared her interest, she didn't have the right shoes and clothes, and she didn't have any races to join. But she went on anyway.
Please write about a time when you showed persistence in something that you did. Please write 4 to 5 sentences in complete sentences with the correct capitalization and end marks.
