How was jiu jitsu class?

Bad! I want to quit.

Remember how I told you that I took jiu jitsu classes when I was your age?

Yeah.

Well, I was pretty bad at it! I almost quit. But I kept trying.

And then you won a hundred trophies?

Nope!

But I worked hard. And I got stronger. I knew God wanted me to learn and grow.

Well … I guess I can try for one more week.

That sounds like a good start.
