I earned two Grit Beads.
What is grit?
Grit is not listening to what other people say about you. Just move along with it. Those things are not true about you. Never listen to somebody who doesn’t know about you. You should stand up for yourself. You should never give up. You should always try your best and always stay awesome.
My first grit bead was for when I was showing my journal and these two boys were laughing at me, but I just moved along with it. I didn’t care what they said. I just moved along. And then my teacher gave me a little project, I said it lightened up my day. My teacher wanted me to go tell Ms. Conger and she was really proud of me.
The second one was after a really hard test. It was about math. It was really difficult. I got 89 percent correct. I stuck with it. I didn’t give up. I thought and I had grit. I was brave. I was confident. I had courage that I would never give up.
And then Miss Robin, she is a custodian and she cleans up a lot of stuff when everybody is gone; she did the same thing like me. She never gave up. She showed grit. She had a lot of people absent but she did her job so everybody would like the school how it is.
I told her, “Me and you are Grit Sisters!”
I see her every day after school and I always say, “Hey, Grit Sister!”
