So we had to choose a word for 2017. My word is perseverance. I want to achieve more goals and work more harder. I feel like some people don’t persevere enough and don’t try for their goals. You have to work for goals, your not just going to get them. So Instead of being lazy and lethargic you have to persevere and reach your goals! Whether it be a fitness goal or an academic goal just know that in the end it will all be worth it. I want to reach fitness and academic goals. The road will be tough but anyone can reach the end if you just persevere! In the end this word will help me achieve my goals by reminding me to not give up. Perseverance:steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.
