Determination can be defined as a quality that makes someone continue to pursue achievement of something that is difficult.  When it comes to one of my second-grade students, this is the best word to describe her.  She works relentlessly with me, with a tutor, and with a reading program at home to improve her skills.  She has spent hours and hours practicing beginning reading skills and then building onto those skills to become a more proficient reader.  Her eagerness to learn is evident, and she continues to want to learn new tips and strategies to achieve her goal.  I am continually impressed with her positivity, and I love seeing the smile on her face when she feels successful.  Although reading has been difficult for her in the past, her determination to continue to improve is awe-inspiring, and I am blessed to be one of many who have helped guide her in this impressive achievement!
