Today in class we took a “Grit Test” to see how gritty we were as a person. Unfortunately many of us found this test inaccurate because we did not agree with our scores. One thing that surprised me is that not many of us actually knew what grit was so it was a little bit confusing.  If you don’t know what it is, it’s the strength of character, perseverance and courage. We were also asked to reflect on our personal grit and if we find ourselves gritty. On the test I scored a 4.25/5  which I agree with because I am not the grittiest person but I can persevere when I need to. One example of me showing grit with success is my snowboarding. To be completely honest I always loved snowboarding but I used to be really bad. For about 4 years I could barely go down a green run. I persevered  and now I can go down any black diamond run. That was one of the big ones but there are lots of smaller ones too. For example I used to have a lot of trouble with the grouse grind but, this summer I did it a number of times and got better and showed my grit. These are two examples of grit but there are many more examples to.
