What is Perseverance?
Perseverance is the continued effort to achieve something despite difficulties, failures, or opposition. It's when you don't give up and push through the adversities. As an example, if you're running a race, the last sprint is hard, but you persevere through it and get to the finish line. Some people have a better/bigger reason to persevere which is why some people persevere while others don't. Other people may have stronger character traits that help them to get through the adversities.
