Writing a journal entry about the idea of persistence could include things like:

How you felt when you persisted and succeeded or failed. How other people reacted to your success and failure. The benefits of persisting until you succeeded or how much things changed? You could discuss how things would have been different if you had succeeded or had persisted when things got tough.
