Perseverance In Society

In her memoir Warriors don’t cry, Melba Pattillo Beals describes her experiences as she became one of the first nine black students educated in an integrated white school called central high school. The author describes how she survives a harrowing year helping to integrate central high school in Little Rock Arkansas in 1957. The three main ideas that I’m going to talk about are integration, racism, and courage.

The film Cinderella Man shows multiple examples of perseverance. Perseverance is when someone is determined to go through tough obstacles and difficulties, no matter how hard they seem to be. If someone were to face obstacles that seem impossible, they could go through them, or persevere, and try their best to overcome it instead of just giving up. If someone was to have perseverance, they would be persistent and continuously stay in the state they are, no matter how hard their problems are. Cinderella Man has multiple examples of this because the main character, James J. Braddock, perseveres through the difficult time that is the Great Depression. He took risks to fend for his family and never succumbed to his negative feelings when he faced problems that would feel almost impossible. James Braddock had shown examples of perseverance in the movie Cinderella Man.

Melba Pattillo Beals, was one of the first African-American students to go to Little Rock Central High School, she and her Eight friends then came to be the "Little Rock Nine". While they were at school, only a few other students behaved/acted normal around them. Most days Melba would be worried if she was going to get hurt, when she was most-likely going to have to all the segregationists' telling the other student's to do so. She went through hard times until the soldiers came, but even they couldn't stop everything that was happening. When the soldiers left, she was scared, but after a while, Melba held her head high, and moved on, and became stronger and braver. I face challenges every day that are similar to Melba. One challenge is when

In the book “Warriors Don’t Cry” Melba Pattillo Beals and the rest of the Little Rock 9 were faced with racism as they were trying to go to a all white school. They all had courage

Perseverance is the only thing that will truly keep the world alive. If humans had given up instead of persevering America would not exist, tyranny would reign and slavery would still exist. Several characters throughout literary history, such as Odysseus from Homers’ Odyssey, and Louis Zamperini in Unbroken are the prime examples of perseverance, and they did it through personal strength and determination to not be broken. After all, it is better to persevere and live a hellish life than to relinquish that life in order to live more comfortably in the hands of those who seek to degrade the soul.

Perseverance is crucial if you want to make to make something out of life. We all have difficulties that we need to overcome in our life and perseverance is the key to success with no regrets. My neighbour had a dream to start her own restaurant but she had no money, support or job. But instead of moping around she decided to put everything she had into opening a restaurant and eventually after all her hard work and persisting paid off and she made her dream into a reality. My neighbour didn’t just wait for someone to help her out but she made the tough call to take matters into her own hands and persist to achieve her dream. And as Sun Yat-sen, “The key to success is action, and the essential in action is

Maya Angelou once said, “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it”. Perseverance is exactly that: overcoming struggles and not being defeated. There are many different ways to interpret the meaning of the word perseverance. This is the idea that will be explained in this paper. Perseverance is the topic of this essay because it is a main theme that has been explored in the books read by the freshmen English class. Perseverance is an idea that mostly has one definition, but the meaning of the word can be understood many different ways by different people. Perseverance is a universal

Melba Pattillo Beals, the main character in the memoir “Warriors Don’t Cry”, never gave up and persevered when fighting for racial equality. When Melba was walking into school one day she thought to herself, “‘I squared my shoulders and tried to remember what grandma had said: God loves you child; no matter what he sees you as his precious idea’” (Beals 76). Melba along with her eight schoolmates made history when they decided to integrate Central High School. They wanted to show their friends that you always hold your head high, be determined, and never give up. While enduring, Melba taught her family and friends to also persevere. Fortifying her family in faith helped her to make it through the year. While standing her ground after many challenges Melba thought to herself, “‘I knew for certain something would have to change it I were going to stay in that school. Either the students would have to change the

Melba Beals, a young African-American, was part of the Little Rock Nine: a group of nine African-Americans who integrated into Little Rock’s renowned all-white school, Central High. In Beal’s memoir Warriors Don’t Cry, the main character Melba desperately survives through the acts of prejudice brought towards her in her white environment around her. These terrifying experiences throughout Melba’s journey reveals to the reader that a successful journey of one is always heavily assisted by important figures around that person.

Perseverance is the only thing that will truly keep the world alive. If humans had given up instead of persevering America would not exist, tyranny would reign and slavery would still exist, and the world would not be intellectually advanced as it is now. Several characters throughout literary history, such as Odysseus from Homers’ Odyssey, and Louis Zamperini in Unbroken are the prime examples of perseverance, and they did it through personal strength and determination to not be broken. After all, it is better to persevere and live a hellish life than to relinquish that life in order to live more comfortably in the hands of those who seek to degrade the soul, and there are many ways to persevere – even as a student.

Perseverance helps me to never give up in many ways. Perseverance helps me to push through my life and taekwondo no matter what obstacles are thrown at me whether it is a kick, a pad, or it is a delay that will set me backwards in life. If I did not have perseverance in my life I would not move anywhere in life, school, or my journey for my black belt or maybe even a higher rank. When I got my white belt I tried the best I could in taekwondo because I was "Super Kid," so if I wasn't like this would have just given up and I would not be where I am today at recommended black belt. When I fell off the wall at school and really scratched my side, I did not stop soccer or taekwondo I pushed through physical obstacle and did all of my normal activities. This tenet helps me to embrace and learn from my setbacks. Once
