Why Is Got Grit Important

Got Grit? Grit is a key to success. It is a positive, powerful motivation to achieving something. Everyone will face failures and challenging content in their life. Failure is not a bad thing, its help you succeed in life and learn from experience. Students should be taught to grapple with challenging content in their classes because it will help them to learn, succeed in life by rebranding failure and making students gritty. In order for students to face challenging content, students need

to become friendly with failure and know that the skill of embracing and learning from failure can help you succeed in life. It will reduce their fear of failure so they are willing to ask and respond bravely.

In the excerpt teachers should admit something if they don’t know the answer to the question too,” If an instructor doesn’t know the answer, he or she must be able brave enough to say, I don’t know, but let’s find out together” (Ramirez). When a teacher shows the courage to admit something they don’t know it helps the students fear of failure to decrease and know that it is okay not to know something. This helps students to learn more and ask questions so understand. Not only will the perspective of not knowing something will change, it will also let them know there is no stupid question. Similarly, teachers should be able to teach them that mistakes are always a way to learn from, “One way to make kids more tenacious, the thinking goes, is to show the how grit has been important to the success of others, and how mistakes and failure are normal parts of learning-not reasons to quit” (NPR Ed para.11). Teachers who teach students with challenging content will help them in life to accept their mistakes and know they should keep trying.. Students will not think that failure means that they have failed everything and they are the stupid it will now mean a key to success and a learning experience. Lastly, when students do something that they normally

wouldn’t do it will expand their limits and give them more skills,”….. That no matter how talented [students are], they can hit the walls, so they can learn to pick themselves up, hit the wall again, and ultimately preserve and succeed” (NPR Ed para 17). When students try something challenging their going to learn that they’re going to fail or make mistakes the first couple of times then they will learn and expand their limits too. When students are out of their comfort zone it will expand their limits and encourage them to keep on going. Overall, when students are taught with challenges content in their classes it will change the way they think and see failure as. When something seems challenging for them in the future they will know how to face it and not to give up, just keep on trying. This helps students to succeed in life not failure!!
