Despite an individual's level of intelligence, talent and luck, a person's willingness to persevere, to continue with a task in the face of difficulty, appears to be the secret of success. Based on the research and writing of Angela Duckworth, this session will explore GRIT, which is essentially a person's passion, their willingness to stick to a physical challenge, a job, or a college education. Discussion will include evaluating a person's GRIT and helping students achieve higher levels of perseverance by refusing to give up on their goals and ambitions.
