Developing Perseverance in our Youth

MENLO PARK, Calif. - June 27, 2015 - PRLog -- “Talent gets you to the starting line; perseverance to the finish.” -- Dr. Robyn Silverman – Kuk Sool Won™’s Child Development Expert

July 2015 is Perseverance Month as part of Kuk Sool Won™’s Powerful Words Character Development program! All students will be studying, developing and experiencing powerful life lessons focusing on understanding the importance of steady, goal-oriented persistence, despite challenges or obstacles.  In addition to all of the physical skills that they'll be working on this month, students will be discussing and practicing the following concepts both in and out of class:

·         Perseverance defined: What it means to keep going and choose not to quit

·         What gets in our way? Fears, priorities, character challenges & peer pressure

·         What keeps us going? Support, Passion, Action, Reason, Knowledge (SPARK)

·         The benefits of perseverance: Goal-getting, trust, character & confidence

“Perseverance is “grit” or stick-to-itiveness. The decision to persevere even when challenged says a great deal about someone’s character.  People who persevere show mental toughness, commitment, focus, reliability and integrity. They follow through with what they say they will do so they are often perceived as trustworthy and reliable. As you can imagine, perseverance is a very important trait of a leader.” says Dr. Robyn Silverman, Kuk Sool Won™’s child & adolescent expert, and creator of the Powerful Words Character Development system used at the facility.

Kristin Quintana, Chief Instructor of Kuk Sool Won™ says, "Teaching our students to develop perseverance this month is very exciting.  The ability to stick with something until they are successful will be a skill they’ll use for the rest of their lives. I’m confident that this life skill will prove valuable to them, at our academy, in school and of course in “the real world!”  We’re all excited to see the positive impact that this month’s Powerful Words Curriculum has on our students as well as on our entire community.  That’s what it’s all about for us and we take this very seriously.

It’s a pleasure seeing our community recognized as a place with Powerful Character, and seeing our students lead the way! As this community’s premier Powerful Personal Development Center, we take this responsibility very seriously. We’re thrilled to help our students and our community to thrive and succeed, and Perseverance month is going to help us to do just that.”

Kuk Sool Won™’s strong curriculum and the Powerful Words Character Development system provide our students with the opportunities to become UNSTOPPABLE in life. These lessons will remain with our students for life and we're honored to help them achieve the success that they deserve” says Quintana.
