Video: Angela Lee Duckworth: The Key To Success
Place to View it: YouTube
This video is about this woman, Angela Lee Duckworth and her explaining to the audience what drove her into her fields and her discovery of grit.
Grit is this passion in people that allows them to push forward, gives them the strength and will to work for what they want to accomplish. Most people that succeed in school and in other life situations will succeed because they have grit.
That's about all that is known about grit.
I have seen people with grit (my sister for one) and seen them work hard in different ways that work for them, and later accomplish what they want. Even if they don't succeed at their challenge, these people with grit pick themselves up quickly and try again.
I think I have a bit of grit, but use it for other things like personal hobbies instead of legit work. This video, however, made me think of how I can apply this drive I get from doing my hobbies and apply it to school and other forms of work I have.
All in all, this video is inspiring and belongs where it is; but it should also get on TV so that younger and older audiences that don't have access to the internet can see it, and hopefully become inspired like I was.

Hello Viewers
Hello to whoever reads this, my name is Jacqueline Demaise Orton. Since that's a lot to remember, just ignore my middle name like normal, and call me Jackie.
I'm 18 (as of last Saturday), with dirty blond hair and gray-green eyes. My height isn't something to concern about, nor my physical appearance, but I can be tough so don't take me lightly.
I'll start of by saying that I'm 50% a tomboy, and 50% a girly-girl. I'm also artist, particularly with drawing and sculpting. Its what I love to do. I also enjoy reading and writing stories once in a while. Well, I should be more accurate - I enjoy writing story ideas and getting started with the actual story, before a new idea comes to my wild mind.
One thing about me that I'm sure most people in my grade are familiar with is that I love animals, and I know a lot about them. Animals and nature are my true passion, which is why I spend all my free time either drawing some kind of animal or writing a little story about animals.
That's part of the reason for why I joined Writers Craft - to be able to write my stories and ideas without the fear of getting into trouble. But, it was also because I wanted to become a better writer, and see if my future will involve me actually writing stories.
That's a quick summary of me. If you want to learn more, you'll have to talk to me in real life ... which might be a problem because even though I'm technically an adult, I'm as timid as I was when I was six years old.
