Ever since I was young I would always be persistent. Whatever I set my mind to I always wanted to finish it, no matter how hard it is or how long it would take. My persistence shines when I am playing sports or when I am doing school work. An example of this is when I was on the basketball team for my school. The other formidable teams would intimidate us because they were so much bigger and more stalwart. We lost every single game except for one, which was the last game of the season. In the…
