GRIT

Last day in English class we saw a speech of Angela Lee, about the grit of learning and make things happen, of fight for what you want and the passion and perseverance.

In my opinion I think that she is right, of course that there are people more smarter than other ones, but if you fight for things that you want with perseverance and passion you can do more than ones that are more smart but more lazy. And I don’t think that grit can be teach or learnt, I think that grit depends on the personality of everyone, it’s not matter of education but it can helps too.

EMAIL TO MY TEACHER

Dear teacher,

My name is Aida; I live in St. Pere Pescador, a village nearby the coast. I love playing volleyball.

I have a lot of goals in my life, but the majority of them are long-term goals like: traveling to Bora-Bora, living some months in New Zeland, …, well basically travel around the world. But this year I have short-term goals like: doing bungee jumping or playing the guitar. One of my biggest goals is going to Amsterdam with my bff, not for the reason that you think but because this year I met some Dutch on my summer work. I will save money to archieve my goals.
