Justin Murray Perseverance/Steadfast

"All this stuff seems to be hitting me hard all at once, But I got to keep my head up." This is a slang way of using the word perseverance or steadfast. The definition of perseverance is the action or condition or an instance of perserving. The definition of steadfast is being firm in belief, determination, or adherence. The movie Whale Rider gibes us a great example of these words. The girl, Pai contunues to learn ancient ways even though her grandpa forbids it. Pai also continues to strive for a better relationship with her grandpa. The whole time not many people support her to accomplish the goals she has set. Thus making this act of perseverance and steadfastness amazing. I have a real-life example of these words also. It is not as good as the other one though. When I took Algebra 1 and 2 in middle school, I needed perseverance and steadfastness to work hard at passing the finals and doing the homework that I had every night. These two words "steadfast" and "perseverance" are very powerful words, so use them well.
