Explanation
Perseverance means continuing to try or taking part despite difficulty, fear, or discomfort. August agrees to tour the school and meet students even though he expects to be stared at or teased, and he asks questions despite feeling nervous and uncomfortable. Those choices show him pushing through a challenge; looking at shoes, obeying his mom, or judging Julian do not show that same effort to persist.
