GRIT is when you’re really trying to do
something and never give up. When you work for something, help
people and do what is good.
So you can accomplish many things. If you don’t have GRIT, it shows you don’t
take the initiative to work hard.
It took me five tries, but I was able to learn
how to ride a bike. This was something I
wanted to do and knew I could do it. I lost a worksheet, but didn’t give up and
kept looking for it so I wouldn’t get a zero.
Besides yourself, who is someone
you know that is a good example of a
person with GRIT? Why/How? My mom because she never gives up on
people and encourages them to keep
going. My friend because he knew he did
something wrong but told the teacher
since it was the right thing to do.
In Pearland, the “I” in GRIT stand for
integrity. Give an example of a time
when you did something because you
knew it was the right thing to do. I like to recycle because it helps the earth
and I will continue to do it. Everyone was talking in class and I saw
the teacher put her hand up, so I stopped
talking and told everyone around me to
quiet down.
What is GRIT?
Why do you think it’s important to
have GRIT?
What is something you achieved
because you had GRIT and didn’t
give up?
