DETERMINATION is never giving up, no matter what! A determined person decides to do something, and then does it! When you are determined, you are focused on reaching your goals and following your dreams.

You can show determination by:

• Defining success for yourself.

• Setting goals.

• Having standards.

• Understand your strengths.

• Working on things that challenge you..

• Get help from your support network (family, friends, and teachers).

Examples of DETERMINATION are:  

• studying for a test every night in order to get a good grade

• wanting to get better at a sport so you practice every day

• when you continue to try and put forth effort in order to get things done

• not giving up when things get hard or difficult
