Personal Statement: Never Give Up
“Never give up.” One of the most common lines you hear today; however, this brings a big impact in our lives. What if you gave up everything you worked hard for? What if you were almost there but you chose to stop? Giving up is probably one of the hardest decisions you could ever make because you don’t know what comes after you gave up.
I had a dream when I was in the sixth grade. I dreamt of being one of the officers of the highest organization in our school once I become a freshman. I then realized that being a part of that club wasn’t a joke. Of course, as someone who serves a large community, you must know your priorities and responsibilities. I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to know if I can manage my time wisely and if I can dig

    Never Give Up Quotes

    I think one of the themes in this book “Exposed” is Never Give Up. Don’t ever give up on anything you want to and never let it slip without fighting. In the book it says, " She's been avoiding me all week long.” page 45. Yes the girl was avoiding her, but she never stopped trying to talk to her, like in this quote she talks about it with her, " Im sorry, Liz, but I can’t be with you anymore.Every time i’m with you I see him.” pg 131 " I thought we were friends! Forever-Best-Friends!” pg 130 I think she was brave for trying to keep cool and try to fix it. She never gave up on the friendship she want to still have and have her inner life.Another theme I thought was in this book is trust, it talks a lot about how Liz doesn’t believe Kate yet…

    Bullies In A Letter From The Fringe'

    “Never give up, and be confident in what you do. There may be tough times, but the difficulties which gave you face will make you more determined to achieve your objectives and to win against all odds.” This was what women’s Brazilian soccer star Marta once advised. Never giving up may sound like a goal that is impossible to reach in reality. Although that may be true, in literature there are characters who exhibit it ideally. For instance, Joan Bauer’s short story “A Letter from the Fringe” introduces a figure who showcases these traits. On a somber day, Dana, the protagonist, a high school student at Bronley High was tormented by bullies alongside her friend Sally for being overweight. Although, it seemed as if her heart had been torn out and thrown to the side, she was capable of forcing the two tyrants to flee. Afterwards, she insisted that they had no right to…

    Personal Narrative: Working At Blink

    Both Adrian and I had a similar dream: to be Assigned to work at Blink. Blink is a corporation where workers essentially run all sorts of different simulators and take different tests. The different simulations and tests are all meant to tell the government different things about our society and sectors, such as what we like and things that we want changed. It’s a very important job, but it’s difficult to have the right characteristics to work there. Luckily for Adrian and I, both of our parents work at Blink already, which means that we are very susceptible to have the right characteristics to work…

    Never Give Up

    The expression “Never give up” means to keep trying and never stop working for your goals. I agree with this statement. I think this statement is true because you can be whatever you want to be, you just have to set your mind to it and work for it. If you work hard enough, you can achieve your goals without a problem. You should commit to achieve your goals no matter how long it takes, even if it takes another 50 years of living until you achieve it. Everything takes time, you just have to be patient. “Winners never quit, and quitters never win.” Vince Lombardi once said. The famous baseball player, Jackie Robinson was not wanted in the baseball league, but played anyway because he loved the game, no matter how many times they threw the ball at his head or tried to hurt him on the field or even if his teammates didn’t want him on the team, he changed baseball forever Another reason for you to never give up is Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan didn’t even make his high school basketball team. He turned out to be the best basketball player to ever play the game. “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan said. So yes once again I do think the statement is true because you can be whatever you set your mind to…

Some of the things I think about when I just want to give up is,“You have the patience, the strength and the passion to meet your ambitions your goals and your dreams. All you need to do now, is try.”also “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” I had to really think about what it really meant but now I…

    Personal Narrative: Never Give Up

    “If there is one thing I want you learn from our time together, the most important lesson I could ever teach you as your father, is to never give up. When you’re all alone in life and it seems like nothing's going your way, you just need to keep being yourself and keep doing your thing, and people will notice how great you are. In the worst most awful time of your life my best piece of advice to you is just keep going, never give up on yourself and the results will surprise you every time. I guarantee it.” Words like this haven’t been told to me many times in my life.

    Never Give Up on Your Dreams

    I really wasn’t into sports when I was younger. I didn’t pay too much attention to it. I started liking sports probably in middle school. I start watching it because my dad and brother were always watching it on the TV. In the NFL I liked the Miami Dolphins; I am a big fan of them. I plan to go watch one of their games when I get out of school. My favorite NBA team is the Denver Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets is my team but I also like the Miami Heat. I want the Miami Heat to win the Championship because people aren’t giving Labron James the respect that he needs. I’m glad that the Miami Heat won the championship because Labron needed a ring to prove that he is the best at it now. Out of all these sports and stuff one person inspired me to play sports and to never give up on your dream. I want to meet this person because I want to just ask him about his career and how he succeeded and became the world’s best basketball player that ever lived. I wanted to talk about this person because he is the best person at the sport I like and that’s basketball. He inspired many people to never give up at the sport you play keep pushing yourself to become the world’s greatest. The person I want to meet is Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan never gave up on his dream so that’s why I’m not going to give up on my dream. The one thing that really inspired me to never give on my dream is Game 5 NBA Finals (1997), Bulls VS Jazz. Michael Jordan played that game with the flu, he never gave up. He played in the game like there wasn’t anything wrong with him. He went on and scored 38 points. He was so exhausted his team mates had to carry him to the locker. That there just tell you to never give up no matter what. Prove to people you are the best and be the next Michael…
