People Who Have Persevered.

Perseverance
Perseverance in my opinion is when people set a goal and keep fighting to reach it
Eleanor Roosevelt
Eleanor Roosevelt as seen in the picture giving a speech Eleanor Roosevelt was in a way very similar to a baseball player his name was Jackie Robinson, They both where judged for personal reasons and Eleanor was judged because of her looks and because she was a woman but she continued every task she faced with persistence.
Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson as seen in the picture with Branch Rickey but Jackie Robinson is also similar to Eleanor Roosevelt because they where both judged for personal reasons and Jackie was judged fro his race because at the time black people in general where not excepted, but Jackie Robinson even though it took a while to get fans but those fans remained noble to him.
Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill as seen giving a speech Winston Churchill was a man under lots of pressure born at his home on November 30, 1874. Winston Churchill was an excellent in writing and statistics in war because he had to study warfare an so he knew how to win a war when he was young boy. At the age of 25 Winston Churchill was able to become a politician and was a member of the parliament.Winston Churchill became the prime minister shortly after he became a member of the parliament actually twice he was because the people thought his idea's where good for war and England just celebrated triumph when he was prime minister for war.
Here is the story of Mawi Asgedom and Derek Redmond
Mawi asgedom is a a guy who has been through a lot in his life he is originally from Ethiopia and he was a refugee but soon moved to america for a better life he and his family where confused at first but later on as the years go by mawi continued to fight and persevered when Mawi and his family fist moved to america they where being really careful to not go to the house of imprisonment as his dad always called prison. Even though Mawi and his brother get in trouble once in a while and they faced the consequence but still remained noble to his family and over the years Mawi became a graduate at Harvard University and so he became successful at things he didn't even know how to do at first.
Here is another story about a guy named Derek Redmond he was an Olympic runner/athlete Derek Redmond is 50 years old now but he has a emotional Olympic story because in a 400 meter race Derek Redmond's hamstring snapped and the effect that it had on him he was determined to finish the race so he started running again but he couldn't finish on his own so his father jumped out of the stands and helped his son finish the race co even though he could halved stopped but he continued to not to yield and continued the race so really the cause for him to continue was he tore his hamstring but the effect on him caused him to continued.
