Grit is the ability to pursue a task over a long period of time. Being Gritty allows people to

have more success throughout their life. To have a Growth Mindset means you have the ability to

realize that your not an idiot or a failure, but a person who will realize their mistake and make a

goal to fix their mistake so it does not happen again. To have both Grit and a Growth Mindset

would be a life filled with success. Being persistent as well as optimistic and willing is the mind

of a true scholar. Someone who will work hard to receive a good grade and when given a bad

grade would look back at his or her mistakes and work even harder to receive a grade to overlook

the bad one.
