The message of this video is to never give up. you never want to give up on something that you have been working really hard at because then it just shows that you have very little to no perserverance at all. And it shows that through hard work and perserverance you will almost always to achieve some that that you set your mind to.

Mrs. Whitley were there ever any challenging obstacles that you have encountered and were you able to perservere?

Mrs. Brito were there ever any challenging obstacles that you have encountered and were you able to perservere?

My video about a high school basketball player who is legally blind. I think the message of this video is to never give up on something you love. Or let people tell you that you can't do something. This video shows perseverance because even though he had a medical condition with his eyes he didn't give up on playing basketball,or let anyone discourage him.

Mrs.whitley: What were some difficulties that you had to overcome in your life?

This video was about different kids telling other and their selves to never give up on life. Always stay positive and always look ahead in life. They want everyone to know what they do to never give up.

This video shows different people who had problems but still did not give up on what they wanted to do in life. In the video it shows that even if you don't have legs or arms or anything that you can still do what you wanted to do. This video helps me realize that I can do anything and not to give up so quick on doing that one thing. It also shows how you shouldn't always give up on something just because you think you can't do it. You should always believe in yourself that you can do many things.

Tyler: Did you ever have any struggles in your life?

Mrs.Whitley: How would you face struggles?

The video is about a track racer named Derek Redmond who tore his hamstring while racing. The message of the video is to not give up no matter what. Also that giving up is the only true failure. As long as you don't quit you won't fail.

Gabby- Did everything seem different when you moved to PA?

This video is about some children and the lessons they learned about perseverance. One example was persevering through the cold of a hard winter. (Can anyone relate to that one? If we think our winter is hard, can you imagine a winter in Maine?) Another example was a parent who had a really hard time getting a job. She had to keep trying and trying and trying to get a job and not give up. It is a hard economy, and it can be difficult to get a job, but those who don't give up and try the hardest will be the ones who get the job they are looking for! Another example of perseverance was working through the difficulty of immigrating to the USA and having to learn an entirely different culture and language. Those would be hard situations where perseverance is absolutely necessary!!

Gabby-Did you have any difficulty adjusting to the differences between CA and PA?

Mrs. Brito--Did your family struggle when they relocated here from Hawaii? Do you ever imagine what your life would have been like if you had stayed in Hawaii?
