Effort to keep trying

I am glad you are here today. Today you will publish your comments in the BLOG then go to Study Island. If you have more then 3 triangles you must go in TEST mode to try to get rid of your triangles.
Did it ever take you a long time to learn to do something? Was it a sport, cooking, a hobby, or a musical instrument that you kept trying to get better at? Did you then have to help someone else learn to do it?
my example is: I wanted to learn how to make the perfect stuffing for Thanksgiving dinner. I tried different recipes for a few years and now I love my dressing to have with our turkey. Now I have taught my own kids the recipe and they make the perfect yummy stuffing too.

My favorite sport is soccer, so
I wanted to learn how to be a good soccer player. I practiced at home with my dad and my brother. Sometimes we even went to the park and practiced there. I also tried out for soccer to learn more. I made the team so now I know how to pass and kick the ball the right way. It took me a few weeks to learn.
