Journal Prompt-7 regular paper (SAT practice)

We have been taught since childhood that it is wrong to quit.  We learn that quitting is impulsive and easy and that we should always endeavor to keep trying, even if it is difficult.  But aren't there certain times when quitting is the right thing to do?  In those instances, it takes great courage, maturity, and self awareness to acknowledge that the plan we have chosen may need to be changed or that a new plan should be adopted.

Assignment:  Is quitting ever a good idea?  Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue.  Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
