5. Perseverance to passion | Dr. Alan Arnold
My story is the embodiment of taking perseverance and turning it into passion. What is perseverance? Perseverance is steadfastness in doing something despite the difficulty. To persevere is to persist in a state or undertaking in spite of counter-influences, opposition or discouragement. In my life, perseverance is growing up in the inner city of Flint, Michigan. Gangs, violence, and drugs were a part of everyday life. Recorded by John Kiriakou, Host of Loud & Clear on 105.5 FM & 1390 AM in Washington DC.
