My dad once told me that not everything comes easy but if
you persevere it will come eventually. This piece of advice has been very
important to me because I lost my dad, freshman year, to cancer. He took his
own inspirational advice fighting for his last breath up until the very end. Perseverance
was his favorite word and is now mine too. Many people were inspired by his
fight, for example the Henry Clay Softball team now gives out the Kenny Long
award each year to the girl they think showed the most perseverance and
strength through a hardship during the season. His courage and fight inspires
me every day to continue pushing against any challenges I come across. Any time
I am ready to give up and stop fighting I think of him and how strong he always
was. I will always cherish that small piece of advice he gave me.
