Character Trait of the Month
Perseverance
Students demonstrate the trait of perseverance by continuing to perform their responsibilities and pursue their goals with vigor and tenacity despite frustrations, mistakes, setbacks, and other obstacles that make their tasks difficult or seem impossible. They resist temptations and pressures to give up or quit, choosing instead, to persist as long as they are able.
Key Beliefs:
I will be a better student if I act on the following beliefs:
- When something doesn’t work right, try again and again.
- I am able to resist temptations and pressures to give up or quit, choosing instead to persist as long as I can.
- I will always finish what I start.
- I can learn to face and accept what happens in my life.
- I need to grow from my experiences, including the ones that hurt.
