Why Dedication Is Important

Improved Essays
Dedication What qualities make a person unique? Many people have a quality that makes them stand out to others, but not all people use their gifts in positive ways. I believe that dedication means committing yourself to a certain task and never quitting no matter how tough it may become. In this essay, I will cover the importance of dedication, why being dedicated and giving it everything you have is important, and how it creates my life and my future. Over the past 5 years I’ve learned that there are many important qualities and traits, but the one that I value the most is dedication. If you are never driven by anything or if you don’t even want to succeed in life, then what's the point of being alive. I have many goals in my life, such as to succeed at being a professional bull rider, but I know that if I don’t dedicate myself to the sport of bull riding every single day that I may not ever achieve my goals. One reason why I push myself so hard is because when I’m at the rodeos and bull rides that I go to, there are a bunch of little kids looking up to me, and quite frankly, I don’t want to let them down. …show more content…
Every single day of the year, God is testing you and driving you to do the absolute best that you can do, whether you like it or not. Dedication is implied in my life every day of my life while I’m either training for a bull ride, or at a bull ride getting on bulls. This attribute is a huge part of my life, whether it be when I’m in the weight room or when I’m at home practicing, and I thank God everyday for blessing me with such a great

    National Honor Society Application Essay For any human to exhibit qualities throughout their lifestyle, one must transcend in certain aspects of their nature. Everyone is born with a different character or personality and not everyone exceeds in all of the same categories, however; I would place myself among the four characteristics of scholarship, leadership, service, and outstanding character as some of the qualities where I excel. I have always been a very studious person, and I take pride in my achievements in the classroom. I was also raised to believe that my best is an A, so when I got my first B it was not something taken lightly. I try to remember that if you put your mind to something, then you can accomplish it, which reminds me of the quote by Mike Farrell, “If you try to do your best there is no failure.”…

    Throughout my life the phrase, “You can’t quit now, you’ve already made it this far” has been thrown around by my coaches, teachers, family members and friends. It has been this constant reminder that I should always push onward through the challenges I face in life. The challenges that make it difficult to want to persevere and cause me to struggle to reach my goals.

    The Lesson in Quitting For the past 7 years of my life, swimming has played a huge role. Growing up, I had always enjoyed being in the water, and was one of the odd kids that genuinely enjoyed swimming lessons, no bribes required (thinking about it, I wish I had some of those kids in the lessons I teach now). Overtime, it began to feel less like a passion and more like an obligation; something I had committed to that was too late to stop. I was afraid to quit, afraid to disappoint, and trying to be dedicated to a sport I had lost interest in made me start to hate it. This year, I finally decided to drop the sport, and am now embracing the huge change it has had in my life.…

    The point where I realized I was no longer a kid, was when my mother made me pay for everything I desired. Until that moment, I thought I would always have support from my mother, she got me everything I asked for, especially when I most deserved it. As I got older, asking for things had become more difficult. I realized that I was expected to work hard for what I want, not have it handed to me. It was time for me to do things on my own, and though I knew it would be difficult, I also knew it would help me in the long run.…
