grit :  firmness of mind or spirit : unyielding courage in the face of hardship

Grit is simply putting in the effort, determination, and passion it takes to accomplish your goals. People with grit don't let obstacles and hardships stop them from achieving. You can see why it's important for students to have grit when making their way through school.

We all know someone who has the "smarts" or great athletic ability, but for whatever reason does very little with it. We also know that person who surprises us all; nothing seemingly out of the ordinary about them, but their hard work and persistence focused towards their goals produced incredible results. 

Can you imagine what can happen when talent meets grit?

If you are a parent, you want your student to realize their potential and achieve their most meaningful goals. To do this, they need to understand grit and how to cultivate it.
