Definition: Obstinately refusing to give up or let go.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today,
At a wonderful word that deserves a good display!
We’re talking about ‘persistent,’ a quality so bright,
Let's break it down and make sure you get it right.
The dictionary says, with words precise and clear,
“Obstinately refusing to give up or let go, my dear!”
Think of it like this: a seed beneath the ground,
Pushing through the darkness, without a single sound.
It doesn’t stop, it doesn’t stall, it doesn't cease,
It keeps on striving for its leafy peace!
Like a runner running, mile after mile,
Or a student studying with a determined smile.
Persistent
means you keep trying, that’s the key,
Even when things are tough and seem hard to see.
Don't let setbacks stop your joyful spree,
Just be persistent, and you’ll surely agree!
Now, can anyone give me an example of someone who was persistent? Let’s hear it! 😊
