Perseverance to reach the goal

William Wissemann and Mohammad Ali encourage me to think about the importance of perseverance. They have limitations but they persevere to achieve their goal, I also persevere in reading the book. William, Mohammad and I support the idea that persevering to achieve a goal is worth being fought for.

A college student, William Wissemann, show's how being perseverance requires a lot of efforts to be successful. William has a disease called Dyslexia, this biological problem affects your brain so when you see a word it is mixed like a word puzzle. Can you imagine living like this? It would require a lot of effort to read or write. Because of these disease he needs to quit the school at 4th grade and went to a new school, which specialized at language processing disorder. In this center he needed to start everything again. He needed to learn new ways to read or remember the words. But he never gives up and fights against his biological limits. Now he can read and write like a normal person. This exemplify the important of being perseverant because he finally succeeded his goal by his effort and it meant everybody could succeeded their goals by working hard.

Muhammad Ali, a boxing champion, had Parkinson’s Disease, which also shows how being perseverance requires a lot of efforts to be successful. This disease affects your brain and uncontrollable handshakes, so it is really hard to write or do things that uses hands. So for him it is really hard to do his job. But he never gives up and he practices so hard. He doesn't think of failing, he only thinks about the glory that will come to him. For my interpretation to have a successful life you need to try your best and never think of failing and the effort he had was amazing. After this hard training he got a gold medal in Olympics and had glory of firing the torch at the start of the Olympic's. This example supports the importance of being persevere because if he doesn’t try his best to accomplish the goals, he will live a poor life.

The third reason is that being perseverance is important because after they accomplish their goals, there is glory after. For example I had much less concentration then others, I easily got distracted and failed in my work. I hate reading books because it is so hard because I have trouble reading. Before I became an 8th grader, for me reading was big thing. The book was easy and was okay, but the book was challenging and was hard to read. I can read but I can't understand the book and I have test about the book too. If I doesn’t prepare I knew I will fail in the test. For an hour I panic and terrified. But I don't give up I try to concentrate best I can and finally I can understand the book. After reading a book their was a test about the book and I get A on the test because of my effort. Exemplifies the importance of being perseverance because I try my best to accomplish the goal and I made it.

With out persevere to reach the goal the world would full of failure because nobody will try his best to solve problem. This is inspirational because it help us know there are people that have pour life but never give up It show the important of perseverant.
