This past week I chose to apply the concept of perseverance with my youngest son, Paul. Paul is eleven years old and preparing to enter the sixth grade. This is a significant transition as he will be entering middle school. I selected this concept for several reasons not the least of which is the fact that performance character has not been an emphasis in my parenting style. Having served as his Sunday school teacher for all of his eleven years of life, he has a firm foundation in the area of moral character. Additionally, Paul struggles with math concepts. During the previous summer, I experimented with giving him a preview of the upcoming school year’s math curriculum. This yielded outstanding results in both his grades and his performance in standardized tests.

​I believe that the short story “My Favorite Chaperone” by Jean Davies Okimoto has a theme of perseverance. ​I believe this to be true because of all the obstacles that Maya and her family overcome throughout the story.

Who remembers the children’s story, The Little Engine That Could? It was a moving piece of literature that inconspicuously taught the importance of not giving up despite initial failures. Subliminally conveyed to people at a young age, it lays a strong foundation for developing perseverance and enabling the process to build from it as they mature.

“insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” is a quote often attributed to Albert Einstein. I have also heard it said that “Perseverance: doing the same thing over and over again, but aiming just a little to the right.” It is remarkable how accurate that was for me. Perseverance is just one step away from insanity, but virtually all successful people can contribute parts of their success to it. Realizing this, I can proudly contribute the success of my past and the success of my future to my perseverance in even the toughest of situations.

When you think of perseverance, what comes to mind? Studying for a difficult test, staying up late finishing an essay? Although these are forms of perseverance, others struggle with much more severe issues every day that requires extreme amounts of perseverance.

He also has issues with his father's alcoholism, which makes his life miserable, He also struggles with being impoverished, which causes him to miss school, and be tormented at school. On top of this, he has to deal with harassment from fellow Indians on the reservation. Perseverance is one of the most important character traits you can learn, for when you have an issue, it can often be solved by pushing through and dealing with it, and not
