What is something you would like to do that would require ongoing and regular practice?

Describe a time that you had to learn something new that required a great deal of practice and even a failed first attempt. Explain how persistence helped you.

Explain how goals and persistence are linked. Write a goal for you that requires persistence.

Persisting means trying different methods when initial attempts may not work. Explain a time you tried different methods in order to finally succeed.
