During the course of Univ 1100 we were given an assignment that required us to write a reflection of our transion from highschool to college. Within this reflection, I was given the opportunity to thoroughly express "Grit" as it was freshly applied to my new experience. The "T" in "Grit" stands for "Tenacity", which is defined as the "Quality to grip something firmly." This could mean gripping your responsibility, your workload, or your will to succeed in general. The "R" in "Grit" is represented by "Resilience", or the power to get back up when you fall flat on your face, which has happened to me quite early in my college experience. Being resilient requires more than just being able to bring success from your failure. It also enables you to learn from these failures, so that you won 't make the same mistakes more than once or twice. The "I" in "Grit", stands for instinct, which is basically the mind 's natural decision making technique. When in a sticky situation most people are encouraged to "follow their instincts". This is due to the fact that only that person knows what is trully best for them.The "G" in "Grit" is represented by "Growth", which is a fundamental part of the college experience. No matter how smart you are or how intelligent you may be, there is always new knowledge waiting to be obtained. Furthermore, there are always questions that have yet to be answered and concepts that have yet to be discovered. Be that as it may, growth serves vital when referencing a freshman student in comparison to a graduating
