Persistence is having such a clear goal that you will do anything to achieve it, and when you face adversity you assess that roadblock and modify your plan to success.

PERSISTENCE IS MY SUPERPOWER

  • Ace Curry chose persistence as her virtue because her father always told her, “You need persistence, patience, and kindness to get what you want”. From a young age, she had lots of ambitions and goals. She quickly learned that you can not wait for what you want to be handed to you. You have to be persistent and chase your goals despite the obstacles you run into. A lot of the obstacles she faced was having a lack of knowledge in certain areas. People consistently told her to “fake it till you make it”. She always hated that phrase, because she did not want to fake anything. Instead of faking knowledge and hoping for the best, she works extremely hard to learn everything she needs to achieve her goals. It is not easy to work when you are faced with adversity but an important part of persistence is when you hit a roadblock assess your problem and modify your plan to succeed. She would not be the person she today without persistence.
