Persistence is always a valuable trait to have. It allows you to complete tasks and get ahead in life. As many things, it has two extremes. On one end of the spectrum is pigheadedness, and an inability to compromise or accept the inevitable. One the other end is laziness, or something along those lines. This is where people cannot, or will not, complete their tasks, and give up without finishing their goal.
School is a good example of where persistence is an indispensable quality to have. Obviously you have to work hard to earn the grades that get you somewhere in life. Homework is one of the easiest, and yet largest parts of your grade. All it takes is a few hours a day, and through persistence you can assure a good future. Never giving up will get you far in life. If you stop when you're bad a something the first time you do it, or if it's not fun at first, nothing good will come of it. No matter what it is, if you keep chipping away at it, it will eventually happen.
Regardless of what it is in life, persistence will always be important. If it's not academic, then maybe its sports. You can't get far into a sport if you don't keep at it. It would be impossible to be perfect at something, or anything, the first time you try it. If you gave up the first time you realized that you weren't good at something, you would never be good at whatever it was. Practice is key when doing anything. If you never give up, life will treat you well. Whether it's high school, college, a job, or a career, no one wants to give a good grade, a job, or allow you into a high paying position in a job if you can't stick with it no matter what. Persistence is a wonderful trait to have, and not matter where you go in life, it will always be a good trait to have.
