The word "perseverance" is many things. It is the ability to be so determined to achieve your goals that you continuously aim to achieve, regardless of whatever difficulties and adversities one may face. So many people of so many different backgrounds have faced a multitude of problems in their lives, yet they have emerged from the ashes and conquered whatever was in their way. Life is good and bad, it's all about adapting to change. Adjusting to these changes can be hard especially while trying to achieve a certain goal, but it is times like these you must persevere through!

It could be your education, your job, relationships, finances, anything that life can possibly throw at you. Regardless of the situation, there is one thing that will always get you through it. Perseverance, it is the key to your success. Your continuous strive for success ensures the achievement of your goal through all of the effort you have put forward. And through sticking to your morals and goals, you will learn your own personal strengths and capabilities.

You will become stronger through your perseverance in difficult times. With these newly discovered strengths and abilities, you will have not only toughened up, but also bettered yourself. It instills confidence in you; to know that you have weathered so many challenges yet here you are, and you have succeeded. This has also potentially made you a leader, in a sense, to those who may be going through a situation that was similar to yours. You can then be the one to guide and comfort them through words of inspiring advice.

Through these fresh characteristics and newfound confidence, people slowly begin to discover themselves during this process. Challenges and adversities often bring out one's best self. Through their perseverance, they become such a strong-willed individual. They need the support of others and soon will also provide that same support to others who may need it. They will pass on their strength and comfort to those after. All of the wonderful characteristics of empathy, strength, and true perseverance come out through adversities. And that really may be a blessing in disguise.

This "blessing in disguise" proves to be an opportunity in the long run. It has prepared you for reality, for future hurdles you may face. It has given you traits that are valued by those around you, and it has made you you're own kind of strong. Those who relentlessly endure hardships throughout their life and have continuously maintained their strength and perseverance. They have stuck to their ideas and morals, therefor maintaining on the road to success. And through their perseverance in difficulties, they have succeeded and have become a better person becasue of it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
