This year, I have grown in persistence. I have put more effort into my work and I have tried lots of time to not give up. Persistence is important at STEM because, we do a lot of projects that require a lot of drafts. You also need to be patient. An endeavor that proves this is the Book-Talk project, because I had to speak in front of the class, I did make a few mistakes but I still kept going. Persistence is important outside of school because you should never give up on something. Not giving up, can make people be more patient and better at doing work to get better grades, this can make people feel better about them selves.
