In celebration of Adult Education and Family Literacy (AEFL) Week, Kentucky’s Office of Adult Education is recognizing students who shared their adult education experiences and successes with a “My Story Reimagined” initiative.
A common observation in these narratives is “grit”. Grit is a personality trait that is embodied by passion and resilience to achieve one's goals. Overcoming obstacles and hardiness are also components of this personality trait. (Source: Alleydog Psychology)
We frequently recognize the grit adult education students possess when they persevere and overcome barriers to pursuing their educational journeys.
