To persevere is to continue on in life in the face of difficulty, regardless of the situation. It is to maintain a purpose in spite of obstacles and to continue on adamantly.

Entering his plebe year, White was told news that would alter the course of his life. News that his grandmother, his caretaker, his number one fan, had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was given only three months to live.
"She fought every single day of her life," White said.
